First guitar out of my Elite

Hey Josh,

this looks really nice and made professionally.

I found how they made the neck in this video very inspiring to show how easy you can do that today if you own a cnc machine for wood. They even make the fret slots and the bone nut slots with the machine, and the good thing is, they always specify the bit type, the feed and the plunge rate and the spindle rpm. And by the way, they show one of the typical milling motors that I consider the best solution for hobbyists and semiprofessionals if you don’t want to deal with VFDs etc. but just plug and play into a domestic power socket.

This looks like oak or another ring-porous wood with large pores, what wood is it?

Or is it mahogany? It’s in fact more red in the new photo.
