the fact that it is maple only bothers me because 1)
a Firebird shouldn't have any maple in it to began
with(at least for the last 40+ years)especially if they claim it is mahogany...maple necks work fine with bolt-on Fenders, and the like.
.
2) A translucent refinish just wouldn't look right with 2 woods that
are so characteristicly different...
I just realized that Epiphone sprays the entire neck black
on their "vintage sunburst" model as well...cover up that maple.
my best friends mother owns a law firm...but, I don't want to sue them...it may cost one of the overworked Korean
women their livelyhood.
