hey Joe (what are you doing with that gun in your hand -> Hendrix haha) it could be basswood. The grain looks a bit more plain since you sanded it to 600 grit

My OCD would like me to point out that the line is "Hey Joe,where you going with that gun in your hand?". now if you'll excuse me I need to go and sort my paper clips by wire gauge, size and colour, arrange my pencils in perfect parallel alignment and insure the edge of my eraser is perfectly square.

no worries Joe, 600 grit was pretty keen, hope the stain takes ok as over 400 grit paper polishes the timber surface and there won't be many pores to 'take' the stain. I'd try staining the area under the pickguard to see how the stain goes. If it doesn't take you may need to sand back to 360/400 grit
