Members onelife Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 My guess would be that the fingerboard is a separate piece - similar to the maple fingerboard strats (with no skunk stripe on the back) that Jimi played in the late 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scott944 Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 From "The PRS Guitar Book", Dave Burrluck, 3rd Edition, 2007: "Modern Eagle 2004-Current, One-piece Brazilian rosewood wide-fat set-neck, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, ripple abalone bird inlays...". Sounds like the fingerboard is a seperate piece, which makes sense since that's the way the other PRS necks are made. The Modern Eagle is the top of the "production" line, remember, not a custom or Private Stock instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuz929 Posted June 2, 2012 Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 pretty sure its 1 piece... an old bandmate had a mccarty with a Brazilian rosewood neck and that was all 1 piece. I would assume a more expensive model would also have a 1 piece. but technically, they ad the "wings" on the headstock as separate pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the truss rod installed in your buddy's McCarty? Skunk stripe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jcm800_6550 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yeah, but the McCarty Brazilian were a limited run, we need someone with a modern eagle to clear this up but I've been doing some more reading and i now think that it's a 2 piece.

Members GreatDane Posted June 3, 2012 Members Share Posted June 3, 2012 in the literal sense, it's two pieces; one piece is the neck, and the other is the fretboard. it's referred to as a one-piece neck because the neck itself is one piece of wood; not multi-ply. i hope this helps.

Just Curious, are you a pro? I always wondered how I could spend more on guitars than a house. You must have a good reason or just be really well off (which would be reason enough for me.
