Alder - Alder is popular as a material for electric guitar bodies. It’s a medium weight wood used by many guitar makers. Alder provides a brighter tone than other woods (such as mahogany), and as alder is not a particularly dense wood it provides a resonant, full bodied sound with decent sustain.

Alder is the most common body wood used by Fender and is found in most stratocasters. It’s a standard body wood for solid body guitars and basses, and is one of the most popular because of its light weight, balanced tonal response and good resonance. While Alder is known for great Blues and Rock tones, it is very flexible, making for a very adaptable guitar that can fit most musical styles.

The guitar in this video has an alder body that exudes warm, midrange tones while the quilted maple top not only looks great but adds some bright articulation. The perfect balance! This video gives you a really good example of the type of sound you can expect from an alder body guitar with a maple top.
