The core is wood and instead of adding a rosewood- or other sort of hardwood fretboards like maple or ebony some builders go for synthetics like phenol. Or they change customs radically like Ned Steinberger did with his full carbon-fibre gear such as the L and XL series. Goal is to achieve a constant and harmonic density throughout the whole axe, having spent years to compose the mater Ned found the golden key of a hard to describe tonality in those basses and guitars too. Having played one of his plastic instrument will making it hard to go back to standard. That's why the real maniacs keep this fame up, nothing sounds like them.
