Seriously? This has to be a joke

Laugh on, but someone will buy that.
Would be an awfully boring place if we were all the same with the same taste in everything

Exactly. If it weren’t for guitars like that one there wouldn’t be threads like this to make fun of them.

After looking at the pictures I believe that the body (back) may be swamp ash with a bookmatched knotty pine top.

All you have to do is read the specs to see it is a Pine Topped Ash Body. Apparently the OP isn't much on reading..

It’s listed at sweetwater as an ash body but clearly you can see it’s the cheapest knotted up piece of pine they could possibly find. Looks like the body was sourced from Home Depot and they want $5400 for that? It’s like someone in the custom shop made a bet with his buddies to see if they could sell a $20 piece of pine for over $5K.

Its an ash body and pine top.

Did you just buy your first guitar yesterday, by chance? I wouldn't expect someone as new as you to understand that, yet.

Especially since it's right in THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GUITAR.

You're just looking for crap to boohoo about huh?

Agreed

He's just looking to ***** and boohoo about something that doesn't belong to him.

Smfh.

I think it's all pine and I don't see anything that's book-matched. More likely the copy got mixed up with the specs/description of the 2 pickup Thinline version of the same thing:

Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Knotty CuNiFe Telecaster Relic - Aged Natural

Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar with Fully Chambered Pine Body, Figured Knotty Pine Top, Quartersawn Flame-maple Neck, Round-Lam Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Wide Range Humbucking Pickups - Aged Natural

www.sweetwater.com

Read the description. It clearly says

ASH BODY WITH A PINE TOP

People who like that sort of thing will like that sort of thing.

that's really profound. and astute observation.

I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years dick head. And sweetwater botched the specs. Anyone can clearly see it’s not an ash body with a knotted pine top. I suppose since you’re so smart you couldn’t figure that one out. *****.

The discrepancy is due to Sweetwater changing the listing, which was clearly screenshotted earlier in this thread as being knotty pine. No need to be insulting.

The spec says ash body with a pine top. I like the look, it reminds me of a kitchen dresser I used to have. I'd buy it.

 

[BelairPlayer]

I guess I’m weird. I like it quite a bit. If I was the sort of fella that had that kind of cash laying about, I’d be the sort of fella to pick one of those up.

 

[sloppychops]

I don't get the whole knotty pine aesthetic. Reminds of that pine wall paneling you see lining the walls of some 1940s or 50s basements. I like straight grain pine without knots all over the place.

 

[55TeleRat]

All you need to do is LOOK at it and if you know ANYTHING about wood you could tell!!

 

[naneek]

We had boring white but all our neighbors and relations were about evenly split between "avocado" and "gold" appliances.

In high school I nearly bought a used late 60s Ford Mustang with gloss avocado paint, and metallic avocado vinyl interior.

My parents vetoed it strictly because of the color haha.

 

[KCJonez]

I'm not getting what is the big deal. Might not love the knots look but it clearly says pinetopped ash body and that's the look they're going for. I bet it's a great playing guitar.
