I guess it's just IER that's been stained?

Each graphics card displays 24 and 32 bit color a bit different but I don't even think it has been stained. I think the reddish is due to lighting or the camera it was taken with. The reason I think this is the Spanish Cedar or mahogany neck is too red also.

Well I will have to take that back. after playing with the photo in Gimp and adjusting the Gama spectrum's. If the couch is taupe then the red is actually in there. So I now think that a red aniline dye was added to the finishMichaelP39043.4864351852

The color is like Cocobolo, but it would take a mammoth cocobolo tree to get a piece that well quartered all the way across like that. Usually with Cocobolo you end up with rift or flat grain at the edge of the lower bout because the trees just aren't that big. My vote is for stained EIR.

The color says coco, but the grain is more like EIR. Interesting...

Stained EIR... those pores look mighty familiar. I have one on the bench that has pretty much the same type of striations...

I might lean, like Dave, toward padauk.
However, I've got some red--I mean red EIR here at my shop. Could be that, with a neck stained to match?

EIR with a colored (red added) sealer. Some factories used to do that routinely to even out the color of EIR.
