The neck is mahogany and an elevated, floating design. Joel started offering this as an option about a year ago. Some of his earlier prototypes allowed for quick “on-the-fly" adjustments, but were complicated. The one he is offering is simpler but still possible to tweak the neck as needed, for example when adjusting between winter and summer environments.
It is still more complex compared to a standard bolt-on neck with more angles to deal with.
