I smell something burning

I see some roasted maple necks have shown up in the Showcase:

I see that 'No Finish' is among the options for these necks. Does anyone know if the warranty still applies for a roasted Maple neck with no finish?

I think the warranty would apply. No Finish, is an option to have it sent with no finish so that you can do it yourself.

The woods that don't need a finish don't give an option. But will say if a finish is not required.

That is a beaut!! There are a few of them in there. I wish had a few hundy laying around, I'd get one. Maybe this means we could special order one in the future!?!

I'm curious how that changes the chemistry enough to warrant not requiring a finish: is there something they coat it with prior to the kiln that bakes in?  It seems to me that a kiln or oven cranked up is only going to dry out the wood even more, and not add anything to stabilize the finish.  But IANAC/P/A/WBTG*

Maybe more deets from tha' Big W?

.... Duh, missed that. Disregard my above post.

Maybe cane sugar for grain filler and brush on some melted butter?

They smell like maple syrup. Seriously.

I have a roasted maple neck from Musikraft. Love it. Best maple variety I can think of.

I have a roasted Maple fretboard on a Gibson Melody Maker. Only good thing about it. Be interesting to have a whole neck made of it.

Make a 24 fret neck - no inlays - and I'll buy it.  :icon_thumright:
