Alternative materials!
I have a few guitars with Richlite, carbon fiber and other 'plastics' utilized to make necks, fingerboards, bridges and other things traditionally fabricated from wood. To be frank I don't notice any 'inferiority', and I might go further and consider the use of these materials an improvement over 'tradition'. After all, these materials don't warp, bend or twist and should stabilize anything they're are glued to.
Actually my best sounding guitar is not made from wood (...scratch that from the record, the neck is made from wood, but that's it!).
