Using composites on fretboards and/or necks.
Some people don't like the use of composite materials on guitar, but I for one think they are great. *If used only to add strength and smoothness to the fretboard, I think they can be an excellent material for any guitar. *What I mean is, the fretboard would be covered with a thin skin of epoxy composite (containing carbon, fiberglass, or even kevlar to enhance tensile strength). *I think this adds to the look, the feel, and the strength of the fretboard. *
A lot of people really like to sand the back of their necks and whatnot, so covering the back wouldn't really be necessary. *
There are several manufacturers that already use composite materials, and I think for the most part they make great instruments. *If I could get a Jem with a composite covered fretboard, I would buy one today.
