    I did not vote, I like both of them. It would depend on what sort of guitar you are building.

    Ebony Neck Natural oil resurfacing?

    Which ironically is not trivial. Probably would not work, and he has already returned the neck, so not possible.

    Tequila sunrise roasted swamp ash?

    As generally a darker wood will make a somewhat transparent finish, less vibrant RSA would likely result in what you said compared to swamp ash. E.g. compare Swamp Ash to Mahogany for tequila sunrise burst. https://warmoth.com/guitar-finishes You probably would end up with something in...

    I love Strats, But the bolts are always an issue (had professionally re-doweled) already slipping/shifting after 2-weeks!!

    In this case, it is nothing really to do with bolts as they are really neck screws. It is also nothing to do with the threads of the screws being stripped either. So what some of our US brethren mean is that the bolt which is really a screw has stripped or reduced the grip of thread in the wood...

    Indeed, the holes in the body should be large enough for the screws not to thread into the body but pass through it and screw into the neck. What I said is true of how those holes should be, not what sometimes may not be. If the OPs body has threads in it, they should be drilled out to allow...

    New build: Iceman!?

    With the neck for the matching headstock in you did not mention gloss to match the body. You can still put a satin finish on roasted maple if you'd like to.

    My 74 Strat has a Warmoth vintage modern neck - Micro Tilt?

    They are not supplied with the hardware you have to source that yourself. https://warmoth.com/guitar-neck-mounting-holes The easiest way for you to check is to unscrew the neck and look to see whether whoever fitted your neck to your guitar had fitted the required part. The part you need is...
