The 17" scale mahogany neck has a ebony veneer fingerboard, diamonds/clovers/dot pearl fretmarkers, with star inlaid into peghead overlay; neck has light backbow but plays well with nylon setup; moderate fret wear present. Equipped with Grover spring loaded friction tuners, friction fifth (later) with small dowel plug inside hole.
