skydog Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I've been told they switched to a mahogany neck on the 555, but the brand new site still lists a 1 pc maple neck.
Steiner Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I'd wager you can get it whichever way your heart desires! Now THAT's beautiful!
Kuz Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Actually, I believe (could be wrong) that the flamed maple neck is now an up grade charge. When I was ordering my Cust 555 (I WANTED mahogany neck & rosewood fretboard vs the then standard Maple neck/ebony fretboard) I actually got a credit for ordering mahogany/RW instead of the Maple/ebony.
skydog52 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I received my H-555 this year and it had a 1 piece mahogany neck. My first one circa 1999 was a one piece curly maple. I think those are the original specs. I have one on order with a 5 piece neck. Like Steiner stated they will make you just about anything you desire.
Gitfiddler Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 The current standard neck material for 555's is 1 pc Mahogany. However IF I were to order any other semi-hollow or full hollowbody Heritage, it would be with a 5 pc (Flame Maple wMahogany stringers) as is standard on the Sweet 16 and Golden Eagle models. That is such a classy looking/feeling neck.
