Ef þú veist hvernig viður er í body gítarsins þá er hægt að gefa sér smá hugmynd um þyngd hljóðfærisins. T.d. Mahogany (Les Paul) er mjög þungur viður og gefur mikið bassa (þétt) sánd. Askur (Fender) er léttur og gefur skært sánd.

Alder:
Alder is used extensively for bodies because of its lighter weight (about four pounds for a Strat® body) and its full sound. Its closed grain makes this wood easy to finish. Alder's natural color is a light tan, with little or no distinct grain lines. Alder has been the mainstay for Fender bodies for many years. It looks good with a sunburst and in solid colors. Because of its fine characteristics and lower price, Alder is our most popular wood.
Ash:
We have two very different types of Ash, Northern Hard Ash and Southern Soft, or Swamp Ash. First, Northern Hard Ash: This stuff is very hard and heavy. A Strat® body will weigh from 5 lbs. and up. With its density, the tone is very bright with a long sustain. Its color is creamy, but also tends to have heartwood of pink to brown tints. The grain is open and takes lots of finish to fill up. Hard Ash is popular for its bright, long sustain. Southern Soft or Swamp Ash is a prized wood for many reasons. This is the wood many 50's Fenders were made of. It is easily distinguishable from Northern Ash by weight. A Strat® body will be under 5 lbs. This is a very musical wood offering a very nice balance of brightness and warmth with lots of “pop”. The grain is open and creamy - a nice choice for clear finishes. Swamp Ash is our second most popular wood.
Basswood:
This is a lighter weight wood offering Strat® bodies usually under 4 lbs. The color is white, but often has nasty green mineral streaks in it. This is a closed-grain wood, but can absorb a lot of finish. This is not a wood for clear finishes, and it is quite soft, not good for much abuse. Soundwise, Basswood has a nice, warm tone.
Mahogany:
We use Honduran mahogany, the wood L.P.'s are made of. This is a fine wood with good musical properties, the tone is warm and full with good sustain. Weight-wise, mahogany is mid to heavy with a Strat® body averaging 5 lbs. or more. The grain is easy to fill although not particularly good looking for clear finishes.
Maple:
We handle two types of maple, northern hard (hard rock maple) and western soft (bigleaf maple). Hard maple is the same as we use for necks. It is very dense, and weighs like hard ash. The grain is closed and easy to finish. The sound of maple is very bright with long sustain and a lot of bite. Looks good in any style finish. Western soft maple is another wood like alder that grows all around us here in Washington state. It is usually much lighter than hard maple, but is the same white color. Its sound is characterized by good bite and attack, bright, but not brittle like the harder woods can be. Our fiddleback and quilted bodies are western bigleaf maple.
Flame & Quilted Maple:
These woods are available as book-matched tops on alder, ash or mahogany, or as a solid body. For something truly spectacular, we even have solid 1-piece flame and quilt bodies!
Walnut:
Walnut is not quite so heavy as hard maple and has a similar sound though not as bright. Walnut is very beautiful with an open grain. Oil finishes can look nice on walnut.
Koa:
This very beautiful wood comes exclusively from Hawaii and has been in short supply. Weight varies somewhat from medium to heavy, a good wood for basses. Koa has a warm sound similar to mahogany, but with a little more brightness. Like walnut, this wood may be oiled, but generally will look its best sprayed clear. Koa is sometimes available in flame figure.
Zebrawood:
This is another heavy wood with a very open grain. It has a very distinctive look with light and dark brown stripes. It is becoming more difficult to find this wood in thick pieces for bodies, but it is more commonly available for laminated bodies where it excels. Its weight and sound are similar to walnut.
Rosewood:
This is our heaviest wood with Strat® bodies always weighing in at over 6 lbs. We've used several different species, depending on availability, but predominantly it is Indian rosewood like the fingerboards. The sound is warmer than maple. The highs seem to be dampened somewhat by the oily nature of the wood. Finishes can be a little difficult to apply.
Redwood:
We found a nice stash of highly figured wood, some with wide curl as pictured, and some with a tighter, quilty look. Available as tops, only.
Birdseye Maple:
This is eastern hard maple, available as a book-matched top only. We also do many necks in birdseye.
Brazilian Rosewood:
“Beautiful” wood. There are a wide range of colors and grain. Book-matched tops only. Very limited supply. We also have some necks with Brazilian rosewood fingerboards.
Burl Maple:
Sometimes this is available as a solid body or book-matched top. Availability is spotty, and it tends to have a lot of holes to fill which makes it more expensive.
Lacewood:
From Australia: This can be had as a book-matched top, or solid body. The size of the spots range from very small to very large, creating a very striking, reptilian appearance.
Korina (Black or White):
True name is White Limba, from Africa. Used in Gibson's Explorer and V's. A medium weight wood similar to mahogany. Black Limba is usually lighter weight with more interesting grain and darker color.
