Just added some more kits from the new supplier.
These are 2 piece "American" Ash bodies which have been carefully book-matched, so so the join is hard to see.
The supplier says they are American Ash and they do feel a bit lighter, but I don't know if this means they are "Swamp Ash". Hopefully we can get reach some consensus once we have shifted a few.
The prices from this factory are quite good, so they only work out about $10 more than our STA and TLA kits.
The hardware looks as good as, if not better, than our current supplier and the pickups also look slightly slicker. I don't want to go too hard on pushing this until we get some feedback from builders who have built and played one of them.
