What wood is this....

Neckwringer

Can anyone please tell me what is this timber type.....

It's got the open pores of mahogany but not the colour. 
It's got the grain pattern of ash but ash doesn't have those pores. 

More context would help rule out contenders.  For example, it could be something cheap and far eastern like 'fijian mahogany' aka meranti but if it's an old body from the seventies, that's unlikely as meranti wasn't widely available back then.  

Based just on appearances I would say some kind of eucalyptus.  But for teles?  It's hard, heavy and a total anathema to the tele sound.  But given how awful that neck pocket is, someone who can carve like that probably doesn't give a flying fig about the wood.

Some type of mahogany, with the colour being messed up by the finish we can see

Yes I'd go with eucalyptus.

Thanks Steve, its heavy,the whole guitar weighs 9lbs
but it does ring very nicely unpluged and sounds good pluged too.
I suppose eucalyptus might help the sound to breathe more..............

The ‘awful’ pocket with over-routed corners is in fact vintage-correct for a 70s Fender . Although it’s not one of those…

If it’s a modern Indonesian body or similar it could be something non-standard for guitar making - it actually reminds me of rubberwood.
