Cheers

Looks like CF bars inserted into the neck and continuing into a neck block extension. Perhaps to delay any need for a neck reset? |

In a Doolin type adjustable neck two CF bars are inserted like that but the reason they extend past the neck heel is to support the floating fretboard. I don't see any advantage for that if the fretboard does not float. And just FYI, the notes on the extension are not as clear with the CF-braced floating extension as they are when the extension is glued to the body. I know cause my daily player for the last 5 years has Doolin type adjustable neck. Edit: Here's a photo of mine. Attachment: DSCF0157.JPG
