Canary Neck Feel.

[Wizard of Wailing]

I'm thinking of trying one. Does anyone know if it's closer to Goncalo Alves (my favorite), or Roasted Maple? Strictly talking feel here, I'm not a tone wood guy.

Feel-wise, it's definitely closer to goncalo alves. It's more porous than maple, with a somewhat oily feel (in a good way, not a gross way).

From my experience it will feel a bit less 'dry' than the roasted maple. I ended up putting a pure tung oil finish on both anyway.

Like yellow mahogany

Somewhere in between Goncalo and Mahogony; Much softer than Goncalo when processing the wood but offers some of those oily or waxy feels that you get from the Alves. I think it has a nice smell to it when cutting through the wood and when it gets branded at the heel. There are usually very neat color combinations within the grain as well.
