Although most every maple guitar neck is hard/sugar maple, I have seen some made of soft maple or soft maple laminates.. Anyone here have any definitive info on this? lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2266 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 01, 2007 - 11:45 pm:    My I-believe-it's-an-Irwin has a bolt-on neck made of purple heart.
