Fender Will No Longer Build Production Model Guitars With Ash (https://reverb.com/news/fender-will-no-longer-build-production-model-guitars-with-ash)
It's probably a good move, better than jacking up prices due to short supplies. Some people will be very unhappy. Doesn't bother me, I prefer alder over ash.

I'd wager that in just a few years time, ash will be considered the most beautiful and best sounding tonewood for a Fender. I'll keep an eye and an ear open to see and hear my Hotrodded Series Precision transform into something fantastic. :mrgreen:

The market's past behaviors indicate that people always want what they can't get. Ash may be assigned mystical qualities in the future. :P

Ash bodies remind me of the toilet seats that were in a fairly downmarket hotel I stayed in on a school trip to Switzerland.
I see a Fender with an ash body and I smell a peach air freshener that isn't quite covering up all the other smells. :rolleyes:

Wait until it gets reliced by emerald ash borers, then it will be worth a fortune. :mrgreen:

Agreed.
Maybe I'll snatch up a couple of ash bodies while I'm out hoarding toilet paper? ;D
