Where to buy ash used to build 70's Ibanez "korina" Explorer?

[guitup too]

Like the one EVH is famous for using. If I wanted a body built from the same species, where could I buy the body blank for a strat style body today? Or could I use the northern ash or softer southern ash that is easily available and get the same or close enough sound?

sawmill if I'm understanding correctly. You can order wood blanks though.

The wood Ibanez used to make the EVH type Destroyer bodies wasn't Ash. It's called Sen.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I have read it was sen. Also read Sen is Japnese ash.

Ash is not the key word here.

Japanese is the key word. I didn't think I needed to point that out...I hope this thread improves from where we are now.
