hello,i really need help from all of u for identifying my guitar specifications, especially about the wood....yeah,it is funny for asking u about this..but i have no other choice...well,here is the short story..5 years ago when i've just started my lessons on guitar, my parents bought this electric guitar for me. I really don't have a clue of this guitar specs( no book or specs manual included) n my parents don't really understand guitar at all..they've bought me this,that's all..so,now after i'm making progress..i think i really need to know my guitar specification ..especially about the body(if u could identify it..,well..it is black), neck and the fretboard woods.. is it rosewood, basswood, maple, mahogany or ebony?
please help me out..really need to know this for my guitar maintenance…cause I know that some of the experts say not to use lemon oil on anything made from maple,etc…look at the attached photos..thx u :)

n Could you please explain me also..how can u identify it? Like rosewood have.., maple have…,etc..
oh ya, I'm actually asking about their construction characteristic( their color, etc..), not the tone they produced....

last question…if it is possible for u to judge the frets..…what size of fret that it is used? Medium or jumbo?

hope u know what I mean….sorry for my bad English..thx u a lot…

note : for some clue, my guitar brand is “phil pro” it has a floyd rose licensed on it…have someone of u heard of it? Got any comments?it saids to be made in usa ( I read the sticker behind the neck) …
warm regards,
Jeansen :)

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

the neck could be maple with a rosewood top. if you have a Floyd Rose tremeleo then your nut would be different. you probably have a roller nut.
three humbuckers and a Floyd trem...sounds like you got a rocking dive bomb guitar!
