Thanks. Yes I know that they current spec is alder, but I can't find any information about what they used in February 2009-

And yes, I looked it up on the serial number checker, but it didn't say anything about the body wood.

Ah. Thank you. The page didn't load well in the two browsers I tried, so I missed the date at the top. Great. Now I know.
