Prime Grade Swamp Ash Body Blank, 2 Piece Set

Prime Grade Swamp Ash Two Piece Guitar / Bass Body Blank! 48mm Thick Set!

Swamp Ash is so beloved and highly sought after by Luthiers, for many reasons :-

•Its super lightweight, creating the most comfortable to play instruments.

•It carves like dream! Swamp Ash is an absolute joy to work with, being easy to cut, shape, glue and sand.

•It is a GLORIOUS Tone Wood, producing rich and resonant tones.

•Being such a beautiful pale colour makes this a great choice when transparent stains and Burst colour finishes are required.

•The swirling grain patterns are stunning and create fantastic looking instruments, even when left natural!

We could go on and on – it’s our all time favourite choice for electric guitar bodies!

Unfortunately over the past decade, Swamp Ash has become more and more difficult to acquire, which in turn has pushed the price up considerably. Buyers that are new to the hobby should be aware of imitations out there, as it can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between Swamp Ash and the far cheaper standard Ash from a picture alone. Luthier Wood is now one of the only Exotic Wood stores in the UK to have Prime grade Swamp Ash in stock.

Our boards are all expertly machined from rough sawn state, then cut and hand selected to create the best two-piece matches. The boards start out at roughly 52mm thick, but are then cleaned up on our surface planer and thicknesser so that our customers can see exactly what they are buying.

All our stock has been carefully air dried for several years before being slow-kilned to give that final, check-free stability.

Global shipping is available with Swamp Ash, and with our safe and efficient shipping service, your purchase can be delivered almost anywhere in the world in just a few short days.
