Looks a beauty, but it's the body that has the flame finish to it, not the neck. The necks are Hardrock Maple for the Specials, or Birdseye Maple for the Standards.

Good luck with the sale !

Well...your wrong. I know what Peavey says about the specs. on a Special...and I've had many. The only other Special I've seen with any figure in the neck had some birdeyes in the neck. See for yourself. I guess it all depends on the wood they used.

Mondola is right on this... Flame refers to the grain of the wood in the body. Neck grain is called figuring. Birdseyes are defined as a tight curling grain in the neck. Highly figured necks on Wolfgang Specials are somewhat uncommon, but not considered rare by any means. With Wolfgangs being mass produced it would be hard to base an opinion of "rare" on one persons observations.

Having a lil manners towards senior and more experienced people here on 101 really goes along way also.
