So, yes, we can do it, though it is not something we normally offer.

Is there an extra cost associated with it? jalevinemd Senior Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 425 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 14, 2006 - 12:17 pm:    I always though that alder was considered best for bolt-on guitars. jetbass79 Intermediate Member Username: jetbass79 Post Number: 116 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, May 14, 2006 - 11:27 pm:    Alder is just not a very pretty wood for use with natural finishes. Just kind of blah. It sounds fine, it just isn't very pretty.
