Now that I have my neck….

….which is an incredibly well figured roasted flame maple with an ebony board…it’s confirmed my suspicion that I can’t for the life of me figure out why anybody would want to change the amazing feel of that beautiful bare wood by putting a finish of any kind on it.

That is all.

Guilty. I wanted to look like one of those Ball Family Reserve roasted maple necks. I am also in agreement though that the naked neck is perfection. I spent a good bit of time staring at it and wondering if I should sand or no.

You would not want to cover it up but go on Chris get a couple of coats of Tru-Oil on to pop the grain even more so we can do a comparison
