      The bolt-on Models are basswood, the neck-thrus are poplar.

          No, I meant just the Model Series in general... the bolt-ons are baswood.

                Oh! Thats what it is!! I always wanted a 6 (and 4) and literally took my charvel catalog with me everywhere and stared at the ad and specs. So I knew I had seen poplar..
                Thanks!

                    Yes, indeed. The Model 7 was ash, wasn't it? And the Model 88 was some kind of mahogany. And what about the Model 8/Spectrum; was that basswood, also?

                        Only the trans-finished ones. Solid-color Model 7s are basswood.
