Larrivee Santa Monica

This looks like a gorgeous guitar! 
Curious: are the maple necks one piece or is a maple fingerboard glued-on after (2-pieces, a la rosewood 'board).
Website says "available with a two-piece maple neck or rosewood fingerboard" which is a bit cryptic.
Thanks...

Yes... That's my question... Is there a slab/cap on the maple fretboard model? Guess the lack of a skunk stripe on the model in the video I posted hints that the truss rod is inserted from the front then capped w/ fretboard. Thanks.

Yes. That's how my Bakersfield's maple neck was assembled. One piece neck "back" with a fingerboard glued on.

Okay, necro thread... The links in my first post no longer work. Can't seem to find any pictures online of the short-lived white Larrivee Santa Monica with a maple neck. Do still see some pics of a sunburst model with a rosewood 'board, but the white model was really stunning. Too bad it never took off...
