Hi All

Can you tell me what the body wood is of this guitar? Musician Friend likes to use the words "Alder" and "Agathis" interchangeably. Thanks!

I think you can trust the "alder" statement on this one - MF's specs are confirmed by thomann, dawsons, musicstore and (of course) guitarcenter.

But I can't help wondering: would it be a dealbreaker for you if it's agathis? :twisted:

I'd never be able to forgive myself. Google "Paul Reed Smith Agathis". Notice how the word agathis is removed from the search in the first 3 entries. They took the word basswood and made it sound even more awful!

As far as I know, Affinitys and CVs are alder, VMs and Deluxes are basswood. and Standards are agathis.
