so this is my first post on this website which i found only recently. in a closet in my parent's home there sits a disassembled fender stratocaster. says made in mexico. i dont know what fender makes their mex-strats out of. well ok i know what woods they use but i dont know in particular this specific guitar. the pessimist in me says poplar. anyone got a hint or magic trick to determine what kind of wood it is? i'm sure it's a stupid question. but i'm stupid people. so yeah. any help would be heavenly. thanks.
