The body is an E-110, but I've never seen one with that type of neck on it. All the ones I've ever seen have the Strat style headstock. Until I see differently, I'd have to say that is not the original neck. As far as the body wood, it looks to me by differences in the wood colors and grain patterns that it has a core of one type of wood with a veneer cap of another type on the top and back. The core looks to be some sort of mahogany type of wood, but the top and back appear to be something else. Honestly,if you want a nice original conditon E-100, you should just buy a complete one. By the time you find and pay for an original neck,pickup and hardware, you could be into it for as much or more then you can buy a complete original. Here's one for cheap.

Yep...I paid a fiver for one of these. They should be dirt cheap.

For what it's worth, I had one and it was made of plywood. I didn't really think much of it tbh.
