Yeah some claim they actually found poplar under the alder. To be
honest with you I haven't taken the time to take mine apart either.
I'm just assuming its poplar because it's a '93 which seems to be a
height year for poplar bodies, call me a a pessimist.
However, I do know that it is capped just because of the veneer over
the back body contour.

Alright you're right, but it was on stage :). I have heard it on
recordings so my original statement still stands. So Ivan, with a
few mods to my American Standard do you think I could get it in the
same ballpark as your Stat Plus?
