Man, THAT is a winner! I am so sold on raw necks.

Nice!  I'm guessing that's going on the hand carved VIP?

WOW...... I'm not usually a rosewood fan. But that neck is killer...... :icon_thumright:

I almost bought this one, it's rosewood/brazillian rosewood board, but ended getting a different one...

the rosewoods feels really good. I was planning on getting maple+rosewood and having it finished in clear gloss but I thought, What the heck, the finish costs almost as much as the upcharge for rosewood and this is one of the $$$ options on some PRS guitars.

You ain't kiddin', all rosewood or brazillian rosewood from PRS will cost a mint....

Mines not rosewood, but here it is. Mahogany/ziricote board......

Feels great and smooth...I actually got it cause I liked the grain pattern in the showcase and it was mated to a Mahogany neck so the rest is history. As for the feel I wouldn't know the differance between this or my rosewood factory strat neck. Nicer grain though that is for sure.

I like the grain on mine, mostly why I got it. Plus it looks as tho it'll fit well with the spalted top...
