One thing that worries me is the neck finish. I ordered a satin finish, but I swear this neck looks and feels like raw maple. What has been your collective experience with this? Is this just how their satin finish looks, or did they somehow forget to finish it?. The packing slip lists an unfinished neck, followed by the finish as a separate item.
Also, the neck includes a warning that says I must finish the neck in order to preserve the warranty. Do they put this on every neck, or just the unfinished ones?
