    If it's anything like the audio world, some cork sniffer will come along and say that they can hear the difference between the different necks.

    They'l probably say that it sounds 'smoky' compared to the regular type....

    I got carried away. It looked promising to start with, but I left it on there for too long. I was amazed at how quickly Mahogany and maple burns!

    It was a guitar I started to build- I'd got hold of some cheap timber from a local workshop and it really didn't fit together well, so it went on my friends fire. It actually smelt really nice.



    From now on, I'm leaving guitar building to the pros!

    You know I look at these necks and love them!

    It also makes me think of my Blue Pearl Supersport's neck, it has a very warm colouring and reminds of what I seen from these roasted necks.
