yup, too bad he doesn't know what he has. It's an ovangkol body and the neck is solid wedge. Great thumb with that wenge neck but its the baseball bat era. No mention of it being bolt-on. Thick neck! :o

back of that neck is a c shape the baseball bat necks were d shapes and came after the first time they stopped making solid wenge necks the first time. I believe the late 90's until 2002 is the thicker d shape standard. They are now again standard on new bolt on models that were getting an ovankol. Slim line necks are also the standard profile since.
