WHY POPLAR?
Poplar is an excellent wood choice for guitar bodies. It is very similar to Alder in that it is lightweight, gave a warm tone, and is extremely easy to work with. Poplar is relatively lightweight and has a closed grain with very few imperfections. Poplar is among the easiest woods to finish and accepts paints, fillers, and sealers easily. Poplar works great for solid color finishes as well as bursts and “relic” finishes. Because it has a very closed grain it is not usually used for clear finishes. Poplar is a “farmed” tree as it is very fast growing and easy to replenish.
- The body shown is a stock photo
- This body has no finish. Additional filling, sanding and finishing will be required. You should seal it as soon as possible to avoid splits etc.
- Wiring holes between pickups and control cavity are drilled
- I am sorry but we do not accept offers, trades, etc.
The two biggest issues that arise are "My neck doesn't fit right" and/or "I didn't realize how much work it is to sand and finish". Measure your neck FIRST and be prepared to put the work in to finish the body.

Apologies but we do not route for a bridge because we do not have your neck. With SO many bridge and neck choices available, each one different, the BEST way to install the bridge is to mount your neck first, then position the bridge for proper alignment and intonation, then USE THE BRIDGE ITSELF as a template for drilling the holes. This way you can be assured that the bridge is mounted in the exact correct position, and that everything lines up and intonation is correct.
Supra-Tone is a 100% veteran owned company and we ship the same day from St. Paul, MN USA.
