Torrefied maple and titanium
The qualities of a good neck - a shape that everyone likes - not just a C, not just a V, not "thick" not "thin". After handcarving around 1,000 necks Mule customers are telling me I'm on the right track.
You also want a guitar neck to be stable. Stability means it doesn't move around in changes in humidity. This is typically done by kiln drying the wood and then, preferably, letting it sit around for a few years.
Torrefaction is a process where wood is dried in a special vacuum kiln. This is able to draw out more moisture, but also resin in the wood. The wood becomes more like cells found in old wood. It's über stable- it doesn't change with humidity.
Titanium is magic. It's super strong, crazy light, and rings. Oh lawdy does it ring. In a guitar neck these increase the strength - resistance to string tension over time- and also vibrate like the dickens.
We now offer this as an option for Mules.
Torrefied/Ti quartersawn $100

With regular acoustic guitars, it is important to keep them in a case and keep an eye on the relative humidity. What about Mule resonators? I know that the steel parts are not an issue, but what are the guidelines for taking proper care of the guitar so that the neck and internal system doesn't get negatively affected by humidity?
