Multi Wood Laminated Necks

 Five Piece Necks:

 

If a single piece neck just seems too "plain" for your custom guitar, consider adding some feature such as this tiger maple center stripe bordered with ebony, both sandwiched between split Honduran mahogany.
 

 

 Neck block, all hardware and two way truss rod are also included.

Single Piece Necks

Honduras Mahogany and Spanish Cedar:

 

Widely acknowledged as the best all around material for guitar necks, a Honduran neck is light weight, elegant and economical.   It is the most popular of all necks for good reasons.  The mahogany grain structures are very stable due to its interlaced grains.   And, only Spanish cedar makes a lighter weight neck.

But, Spanish Cedar or "Cedro" can produce a beautiful and strong neck.
Here are a pair of multi woods, mahogany  (above) and Spanish Cedar (below) for the visual comparison.
