Pretty nice AL-2000 next to me. Not sure how rare the maple neck is. I can go check out if an AGF brother is interested.

Maple neck was standard on the 2000. :D

The ones I remember seeing were stained to match the back, so it wasn't as noticeable. Maybe my memory is faulty, but I don't remember the necks on 2000s looking that light.

They came in both Maple and Mahogany neck versions -IIRC he switched over to Maple sometime during the great AL2K blowout, but then went back for a bit. I had one of the honeyburts 2Ks from the blowout era and it had a maple neck, and it was much brighter/lighter looking as compared to the body. In either case, i've had LP's with both Maple and Mahogany necks from Agile and Gibson, and other than looks I can't tell the difference.

Scott, if memory serves, the 2xxx's all had maple necks while the 3xxx's all had mahoggany (sic) necks. :D

Yup. Though you can find a piece that breaks the rule every so often.

I have Rondo alspecs from 2008 that say maple neck for the 2000 & from 2015 that say mahogany, don't know when they official change date was.

They came both ways. I have owned 3 or 4 and all but one were mahogany. I think maple came sometime around 2013 or so, but as always with Kurt the exception is the rule:

Random googling of old 2k pages seems to mostly bring up mahog versions like this

The Dauntless on the other hand almost exclusively had a maple neck IIRC
