Building an HSH Strat. Mahogany body with maple neck. Tone - I'm going for a clear, punchy Les Paul sound with a touch of jangle like a Jazzmaster. I want the guitar to feel alive, sort of 3 dimensional, and fill the room with sound. I like the amp to really shape the sound with the pickups...

Looking to purchase a Warmoth Maple Strat Neck. I love the look of vintage tint gloss. But does it feel "sticky"? Also, is there gloss on the fretboard (maple) ? Does that hinder playing or muffle tone and resonance at all? Thanks!
