Just wondering what brand guitar you use that allows you to touch "real wood" (dead as it may be)? I thought wood guitars were entirely covered with plastic except the fretboard? Isn't it true that all you ever really touch is plastic? And the nice gloss or satin you see is just . . . plastic?

If I'm not mistaken, a fair number of Martins don't even use wood for the fretboard any more. So I'm curious which "all wood", "no plastic" guitar you like the best, model and make? I'd love to get my hands on one and try it sometime.
