The neck is a 1-piece mahogany with a modified V profile and rosewood fingerboard with Mother of Pearl paisleys on the 12th fret.

He's only the best guitarist out there in country music (and most other styles) so its not a bad investment, but apparently you guys can't tell the difference between a good and bad investment. Go the yamaha sucker. I'll be paying more than you lot because of the aussie $. and it's still worth it!!

on 05/02/2010 		I think 99% of time the whole "signature" model idea is BS. Unless we're all under some illusion that the guitar will make us play like that musician it's pretty much a waste of money. And the fact that it costs more to be like somebody else is ridiculous. Collectible? Hard to find anything collectible when everything is a special edition, limited edition, anniversary edition, signature mode. Geeezzz, how about a new design...the J45 is getting mighty close to a 100-year anniversary. Come to think of it, that's a great idea:-(

on 04/30/2010 		same old same old, over priced because of the signature, sure it probably sounds like a gibson should but why pay more for a signature, don't you get enough all ready for your guitars?

on 04/30/2010 		I'm seeing a pattern at Gibson: their past three acoustic releases (Kristofferson, Hiatt, and Paisley models) have been slightly modified production models that get an engraved or inlaid signature and an up-charge of at least $1,000. While this new guitar is pretty to look at and surely sounds incredible, one has to wonder if Gibson is capable of doing something truly different in the industry.

on 04/30/2010 		This looks like another great signiture guitar from Gibson. Brad Paisley is a great musician but I wish the signiture was on the inside of the box instead of out front on the trus rod cover. Just may personal taste.
