So I've got 4 necks from Warmoth now, all Roasted Maple, and there's a reason they've all been the same. The unfinished feel. It was my first time to play on an unfinished neck and it's a dream.
But, it's also the only wood I've played that's been unfinished. So I have no comparison.
That being said, I'm starting to put the plans together for my next guitar, and it's going to be a solid black tele, black guard, white binding with chrome. As such I'm curious about some of the darker woods that can also be unfinished, for the aesthetic. So two questions :
1) Those who have experience with unfinished woods besides Roasted Maple, are there any you would recommend that are similar in feel of the darker variety? i.e. Macassar Ebony, Rosewood, Wenge, Ziricote... If the answer is "nothing will feel like RM but RM" that's cool too, but just wanting to ask for sage advice.
2) Any pics around of black guitars with the above woods? Inspiration, or your ideas of what would look awesome?
Thanks!
