just read a bit here on the board. people like raw necks over finish. because finish is so smooth, you aren't able to play as fast or slick or smooth, so to say.
padouk feels VERY nice. very natural, very easygoing, and it 'lives'. combined with ebony, you're in for a killer tone, feel and looks.
Both of mine are standard 6 string necks. I don't recall the weight, but one is a '59 roundback and one is a boatback. Both are, I guess, a bit hefty. They balance great on my VIP.
No, sorry, I can't recall the body weight. It is a hollow black korina, though, if that helps at all. Also, I use a very wide padded leather strap, so that may affect how the balance feels to me. But, it does indeed feel fine.
