Location: kansas | I like playing my Fender Tele that has a solid maple neck and fretboard. I liked playing an Elite T with a Maple neck but it doesn't have a maple fretboard. Is there an Ovation model that has a solid Maple neck and Fretboard?
later... |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I have a Viper 3 with a maple fretboard. Not sure about the neck. It is likely maple, too, but may not be one piece. I spend more time looking at the front of it so I don't recall. |

It sounds to me like you gotta rosewood fretboard, so maybe a switch to one with an ebony fretboard? |

Here's what I got. Never seen another one like it. Looks like an acoustic neck for a full/medium-bowl acoustic.

Location: kansas | That's what I'd like to have on my dream guitar:
a maple neck and fret board with stainless steel frets on a Deep Bowl...
well, a medium bowl would work,too..
Wonder what model Ovation this escaped from?
What are you planning to do with this Maple Neck, in any case? |

I think its obvious you have scored another "one-off" from Mother!
Ahem... and I have a Deep Lyrachord bowl with the "pre-cutaway" cutaway and a K-bar socket.
Let me know when the Office is finished and the Lab-OR-a-tory is back in bussiness! |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Given this is probably a one-of-a-kind neck, and it has never been used on an instrument (no holes for the tuner screws); I am waiting for the proper inspiration & enlightenment to osmose.
Perhaps this should be a group effort to construct an original BFLG "Commemorative".
What we REALLY need is an original Adamas top, and an "idea" preamp.
I have a couple of 3-to-4-"A" top sets, and an 18" table-top sander, so there are some possiblities.
Anybody got a boatload of abalone?
How 'bout a redwood top, & a maple bridge (to match the neck)?
Or, the *Dylan BFLG*- "Blonde On Blonde"
Lots of prospects, anyway. |

Location: kansas | This looks good(http://www.northstarguitars.com/sitebuilder/images/North_Star_Guitars_Low-Mass_Pinless_Bridge_006-531x383.jpg):
"This is one of our low-mass pinless bridges made from Birdseye Maple,
alongside a Maple fingerboard. Since our new bridge design has less
mass, it takes less string energy to excite the bridge and guitar top
resulting in a quicker attack, more powerful fundamentals, and more
pronounced overtones. Developing this bridge design, was an epiphany
for us in decreasing guitar bridge impedance, which allows us to better
balance our guitar's overall voicing."
