neck material?

the ones I own are (morse, petrucci, axis) and I know the sub 1 isn't, but I'm thinking of getting a sil or a luke and I just can't remember what exact maple they use for the necks on them.

lukes come w/ typically birdseye maple w/ rosewood fingerboard. but ....sometimes they will use flamed maple w/rosewood. luck of the draw i guess. i think flamed is much less common than birdseye.......i don't know why ........they sound the same......

i like the look of flamed alot more myself.....i got a flamed luke...and 2 flamed morse's..... :D
 
i think it is luck of the draw my axis came with flame maple neck and i know that some have birdseye
 
Would someone at EB please respond to this question. I know some things but I don't want to say. Opinion and reasoning are called for here.
