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.

but it does ring very nicely unpluged and sounds good pluged too.
I suppose eucalyptus might help the sound to breathe more..............
If it’s a modern Indonesian body or similar it could be something non-standard for guitar making - it actually reminds me of rubberwood.
