They are what you pay for. im fairly confident they are maple, and they are quite thick (some describe them as the "boat" shape) The fret job on the one i got was average, a few of the frets were significantly shorter than the others :S. the frets were poorly put in two, there was a lot of epoxy (or whatever they use to glue them in) on the fretboard in a few places.

the kits seem to be pretty hit and miss from what ive read, and its probly best to go for the strat or tele models (i got the PRS shaped one). I would guess the strat/tele models would definately be no worse than a squier tho, try searching the forum for more info, theres been quite a few posts about them here and its where i got all my pre-purchase info from.

and http://www.universaljems.com/cart/telekit.htm for the tele.

or if you really want the angled headstock:

I would order them from Brian. He goes through and makes sure they are all looking okay, including mixing routes and painting the cavities with shielding paint. He also pre-shapes the headstocks on all Strat, Tele, and P-Bass kits.

Why would it not be maple? Maple is cheap.

I have a Saga neck, currently off its body, but while it was on it played ok. Search "saga" and read up. Like anything else, you get what you pay for.

::sigh::

Why not stop wringing your hands and asking a gazillion questions and expecting everyone else to do your research for you and actually try something?

I have a Saga Strat kit and the neck seems fine to me, but I don't know anything so I wouldn't listen to me.

If you just want a neck... why not just buy a neck?

I had a friend who had a saga PRS and he loved it especially the neck??

i know there have been threads on this. but everyone seems to like them. why not use the search and do some research instead of expecting others to do it for you.
