Neck woods â mahogany & maple. The wood used for the neck needs to provide good longitudinal strength and carve easily. The vast majority of acoustic guitar necks are made from mahogany. However the description âmahoganyâ is pretty vague since there are two, completely different, species of wood commonly called mahogany.
The neck is usually maple with a flamed figure compatible with that of the ribs and back. It carries the fingerboard, typically made of ebony, but often some other wood stained or painted black. Ebony is considered the preferred material because of its hardness, beauty, and superior resistance to wear. Some very old violins were made with maple fingerboards, carrying a veneer of ebony.
