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.

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.
TJ or someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong!

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
