60's Fender Jazz body woods?

[umcoo]

Hi chums,

Surprised I can't find much online about this, but I'm looking to see what type of wood was used for Jazzes in the 1960's when it was a solid colour. I'm thinking it's either Alder (quite likely) or Ash, but I believe Ash was for bursts and blonde basses.

Alder unless a blonde finish, in which case it would be ash.

[Delberthot]

Whatever was cheapest at the time knowing Fender

[Mr Rabble]

Alder 99%
Fender used almost exclusively Alder during the sixties

[Davo-London]

Yes Alder and Brazilian Rosewood (fretboard) until CBS put a stop to that in 1965.
