[MAPLE NECK VS MAHOGANY NECK]

Pippy is correct when he says you could never tell the difference blindfolded and just playing.

 

My 25 / 50 is (mainly) maple and looks great and feels great. However, I perceive the main advantage of maple is stability and toughness. Maple necks tend to stay straight if they are straight in the first place and maple is a vastly tougher wood than mahogany.

[Historic Reissue vs True Vintage]

Good question and as I have never played either - I'd like to hear an opinion from those that have.

[The Maple Neck Years]

My 1978 25 / 50 has a 5 piece maple neck (two walnut skunk stripes running right through) with an ebony board and I think it is great!

 

EDIT: Obviously, I mean three pieces of maple!

[Reconditioning my Super 400 CES - PART II]

A beautiful guitar (I'd love to own one!) and an absolutely fascinating discussion.

 

Thank you Gentlemen!

[Anyone got a 1962 50th Anniversary Sheraton?]

Hi all

 

Getting MAJOR gas for one of these. Has anyone taken the plunge yet? Can't decide between the Natural and Sunburst......

Beautiful guitar.

 

I could very easily fancy one of those in sunburst.
