This is a quarter sawn piece of nicely figured mahagony for an electric guitar neck. Dimensions are 2.95 X 2.50 X 32.00 inches. It is pretty old and pretty dry. If you tap it with your class ring, it sings. The neck contains pencil markings on one end, as follows: “LPL 918;” “LOT 918;” “MAR 59;” “MARTY A.” Now I’m not saying anything more than what I see there. People who are experts in these type of things will have an advantage over the rest of us. Whatever the meaning of the markings, this is a very nice neck blank. Go figure.

I entered the markings into Google AI. This is the reply:

"AI Overview.

This string is an internal inventory, cutting, or batch label used by a luthier or tonewood supplier to track a specific piece of mahogany designated for a guitar neck (frequently styled after a vintage Les Paul layout).(Forest Guitar Supplies Label Breakdown).

• LPL 918: Typically shorthand for a Les Paul style neck profile/cut, item number 918.
• LOT 918: The specific inventory batch or shipment number from which the timber originated.
• MAR 59: Refers to Mahogany (MAR), often paired with a vintage specification reference (such as a 1957–1959 59 neck carve or vintage style).
• MARTY A.: The name of the wood grader, sawyer, or customer/builder who originally processed or ordered the blank.
• Mahogany neck blank: A dense, stable, kiln-dried or air-dried block of genuine or African mahogany scaled down to dimensions suitable for cutting and carving a guitar neck and headstock."

I will not guaratee to you what you may think this thing is. I am just describing it, to the best of my ability. Focus on the photographs, which are a part of the offering, and my representation to you of the fact that these markings are present, inscribed upon the wood, nothing more. Do we understand each other? If not, THEN DO NOT BID.
