    That looks like basswood, not ash. That is a very ‘80s approved shred guitar wood. I’m not the expert at painting guitars, but I know that you cannot skimp on the prep work. Let us know what paint you are using and your method of application and someone will be able to help with the information you need.

    Upon rechecking the website the kit is listed as ash, but the body definitely looks like basswood, I believe you are right.
