Hi...

Jani - yes it is the one with the strip down the back of the neck and the all access neck joint.
Maybe not the best I could have bought, but plenty good enough for me (trust me Wink

)

Michelle - when you say the maple has a tendency to turn, in what way?
Does it change colour, warp or does it just go "off"? Anything I can do to protect it / prolong it's life?

Thanks again...

Turn color that is. The best thing you can do is make sure you wipe down the neck after you get through playing every time. If your hands sweat when you play this will become a problem. Mine do and I go through a ton of strings and thats why all my guitars have a rosewood fret board. If your strings rust quicker than they go dead, even if you don't play alot, then you might have to worry about it, but if you change them regularly it won't be as bad. Just a little learned advice, I learned the hard way... Wink

.....anything to keep someone else from having o go through it. Laters....

True, True
I just spent $150 on shoes, aromatherapy oils, and a shirt. That's where I dissappeared to.
