Mine's a 1998, right off the wall at GC. It was not called a 'Nashville' then... just a regular Fended B-Bender American Standard.
Like a jerk, I sanded off the 3 color sunburst finish and re-did it with RERANCH paints & stuff. Then I ordered a bridge from Glendale and loaded her with Mr. BL's pups.
Anyways, according to the hangtags then, in 1998 it was a poplar body.
