Well, if you look at the neck you can see that it's a synthetic wood-based composite of some kind, and you can feel the difference too, but I don't know exactly how they do it. It has a quasi-wood grain effect which is quite attractive. It's sure not a mahogany neck.

I'll get more details the next time I go to the store. I've got a cold at the moment, and am taking it easy and staying home.

It was threatening to snow again tonight. Yuk.
