@clinton I have been considering Poplar for my next build, I want something light for the body, and would be very interested to hear your opinions on working with it, sourcing it ( not sure where you’re based) etc.

@brie Poplar is great. Inexpensive hardwood. Mellow ring tone, stable, not heavy and a charm on your tools. It gets a bad rap but I love it. Not as hard as maple but not quite soft like basswood. Does not stain well but keeps your creativity on the go. Sanded well, does not require grain filling. Overall a 2 thumbs up. Does not disappoint.
