Every once in a long while, the tulipwood fairy waves her magic wand over the Warmoth factory, and something magical pops out. For example, this lovely bass neck:
Since doing the redwood Tele that I sold I’ve wanted another. Watching every month that it was still there.....now it’s on it’s way. Should get a Lollar p90 and a Rio grande Muy Grande bridge.

I think I'd go with Macassar Ebony over Mahogany. Keep the color of the back close, and bring a little interest to the fretboard without taking away from the Redwood. Although, I gotta agree with Kevin that Roasted Maple might also work well there, especially the new darker colored crop. But hey, your axe, your choice, what ever floats your boat. :icon_thumright:
Never tried the macasserr ebony but the roast maple is a big favaorite.....ill order a neck today.....when I can’t decide I default to Birdseye maple. I’d love a ziricote shaft neck but that would be Spendy as the fingerboards are scarey expensive.
