Any ideas what wood these lacquered Heresy's have?

Still waiting on something different, like rosewood, mahogany, etc...
Missed out on the '65 Cornwalls- my own fault..
Oh well, Craig doesn't have my amp done yet so I can wait...
That's what I thought D, but the letters threw me off.
BTW, I will be going to Indie next year for the Pilgrimage so if someone else needs a ride in the LR area let me know. I didn't make Hope this year 'cause I was at the Corvette show that weekend and couldn't get out of it.

I bought new H2's Mahogany...............never opened, or looked at them until I got them home..........I really like the Mahogany....Alot........Hang in there...............Rosewood is SWEET too..........Did you see Budman's Rosewood Cornwalls(I think they were Cornwalls) Those are FINE..........
K4L:
I believe it's ash; "ASL" I think is ASh/Laquer and the L/S out to the side could be for a notation by the inspector that it was laquered/ sealed (?). I have a sample of ash veneer here and it appears identical. Oak looks close, but oak generally has a faint "rainfall" pattern present. Hope that helps.
Marshall,
Ash would be right. I often get oak and ash confused when I look at them.
I think you nailed it...sure looks like a real baseball bat!

It's hard to tell sometimes; I had to pull out the veneer sample sheets just to make sure it wasn't Anigre. I've seen a Klipschorn or Corwall, can't recall which, that was Anigre veneered; at a distance it's similar. I'm pretty sure that new Klipschorns now use ash ply wood instead of the Russian/ Karelian (Baltic) birch.
I knew this "woodhead" stuff was going to come in handy someday.....

Funny you should mention that; That's why I recognized it!! Why just the other day when my wife "nailed" me with that bat for something, I remember the last thing I saw was the "striking" patterns.....
