Does this have a mahogany NECK as stated? I thought all the new ones have a maple neck... need to know!

Hi Dan, I am not sure. I am in Dubai now and my guitar is in Colorado. When I got the guitar I immediately took it to a guitar shop to have it set up. The owner of the shop was somewhat dismal to see this guitar and hear of the price that I paid. He said he could no longer afford to sell guitars because of these prices. He told me that he could not make a guitar like this for even close to what I paid. It is a very nice instrument. I haven't played much but plan to do so when I return to the States. Sorry I couldn't help out.

Funny I c wat you mean ( just read the description ) and the neck does look like mahogany in the pic--I would go to gibsons/epiphone website and ask them thru their contact page --they will answer you real fast their pretty good about that --just contacted them last week and they answered me the next day

I got mine new in early 2013, serial starts with13. So i assume it is 2013 model. Definitely looks like maple. Body looks like mahogany. I would say it has a plenty resonant neck though, you can hear it well unplugged and plugged, you can get sympathetic resonances easily anywhere on this thing.

Yes, the top is a wood, a nato wood similar to a mahogany. Although I am a ukulele novice and I purchased it for my teenage daughter, for the price, it has quality construction and materials.

Mine is a reddish brown, wood is not mahogany but is similiar in color. Nice chair.

Amazon says it "renewable plantation wood". Whatever that means, the board and pieces are very nice. But if you are looking for genuine mahogany then you are probably looking at the wrong price range

Yes, the top is solid Sitka spruce. The sides are nato, a kind of rosewood. This is a steel string guitar, not a classical with nylon string. It is a great guitar, especially for the money.

Sure, most classical guitars have rosewood fretboards, directions say to stay away from maple fretboards only.

It comes with steel (really nice ones too!). I would say to buy it at a local store if you can since you can try it for yourself. They all vary pretty drastically. I had to return mine because it buzzed. I had to go through a few at the local store before I found one that didn't buzz. It sounds really nice! I enjoy it. Only downside is that it is quiet. If you have enough to get the Taylor GS Mini, I would go for it.

It is a type of wood called nato, which is similar to mahogany. It is very, very thin. The finish is not shiny making it look more inexpensive and it is very light. (The weight was listed in the item description, but I guess I didn't realize how light it would really feel.) Makes it look and feel like a kids toy. I really wish the appearance looked more like real wood. It does have a good sound though and the price was right for just learning. It appears to be very nicely made, also.

It's made of something that Martin calls HPL, which stands for "high pressure laminate". What this means is Martin takes the leftover wood scraps from it's factory and turns it into wood pulp then uses very high pressure to press the wood pulp into a laminate. So it's not plastic, although it may seem like it.Despite the HPL back and sides, it's a very nice sounding guitar, and it's probably the best value in this price range. Don't let the non solo wood back scare you off. The top is the most important part for tone, and on this guitar it's solid spruce.

Yup. Standard round, guitar-style neck.You are gonna want to file the bridge down (or replace it completely - cheap wood that fits poorly - investment of a couple bucks and 30 minutes of your time)But for the price it is actually totally playable and doesn't sound bad at all.

Not mahogany, but a nice cherry woodI get tons of compliments on this table and its probably 1/3rd of the price at C&B;

They are very similar.There are probably different woods used for the bodies, but without looking at where it's made you most likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They're both good guitars.

Hi from, Mike. The one that I bought was a round neck ?? Just like a standard guitar - Great guitar for the price - But did need to be set up to play right -

No, it's a fixed neck. It plays great and it's thinner and not as heavy as most other Les Paul guitars.

It does have a slight reddish tint, like mahogany. It's beautiful and well made. Be aware it does not come with the top.

No the unit I received and returned was laminent birch wood in a poor looking brown. I was hoping it was either black as pictured or the rosewood. The last production run of the rosewood I believe was sold exclusively through cabelas last year.

It's definitely not a light oak. Much darker, just a shade lighter than a nice mahogany
