Roasted maple, Vintage tint?

[ZachSzy]

Putting together a Pj bass- already have the body which is an MJT shell pink PJ, and now getting ready to order the neck...

I live in the Northeast (New Jersey) where we really get a full 4 seasons. To combat fret sprout and still maintain some degree of the classic aesthetic, roasted maple seems to make sense for the shaft wood. My question is: Does anyone have pictures of a roasted maple neck finished with the vintage satin tint?

i would think you wouldnt want any tint on it. the roasted maple alone looks like vintage amber

Living in a similar environment, after you've set up the guitar correctly, with the warmoth parts , Fret sprout is a non issue.

The Roasted neck on the right is Vintage Tint Satin, and the two on the left are unfinished.

Hola,

I'm in northeast NJ also (Teaneck). I have 3 roasted maple Warmoth necks. I have zero issues with fret sprout. None of the necks I have are tinted. My guess is you'd wind up yellowing the roasted color a bit.

Roasted Flame Maple Neck—Finish or Not?

Should I finish my Roasted Flame Maple neck? I see that it’s not necessary but is it bad for wood longterm if it’s not finished. How would unfinished feel compared to a standard maple neck with a satin finish?
