Hi,

Does anyone know what wood they made MIJs out of around '85-'90? Mine is a solid Pearl White, so I can't really see what type of wood its made from. It's also really heavy, I bought a backpack style padded strap for it!

Thanks!

The only sure way to find out is to remove the neck and check the neck pocket as it's usually unfinished there.

Some were basswood, especially on opaque finishes, some were sen but that was usually on transparent finishes. It also depends on the particular model.

If it looks like one of these, it is Basswood...
