roasted necks

[Stratty316]

I don't know if stability has ever been the issue at MusicMan. This is more of a cosmetic thing I think... after all it is going to be an option on some models. Sure it may enhance stability, but look at how BP has defended his use of and track record with Birdseye Maple. I think this is just another case of EBMM pushing the limits of what people think is possible for them to do...

Pardon me, for invoking another brand name beside EBMM but.....

Are roasted EBMM necks similar to Suhr vulcanized necks, in respect to the fact that by "roasting" the neck, it makes the neck become more stable to warpage and changing climate conditions?

Understandably, the aesthetic reasons alone make it worth it. I was just wondering if my above theory might also be true?

I was just about to post this same thing about the Vulcanized idea.
Suhr Guitars Discussion :: View topic - And Now... The Vulcanized Maple Neck Modern
As stated here, it means the neck would be impervious to moisture and humidity, which is pretty sweet.

It's not about it being an issue for Musicman. Most of all guitars are susceptible to changing climate conditions. Although, as DTJPPR said,....the reason Suhr does this is to make a neck impervious to moisture and humidity.

So, I was just wondering if EBMM had that in mind, when doing it as well. I wasn't suggesting that EBMM had issues with neck stability. I was just thinking that by EBMM roasting their necks, that it must make them more stable as well.

My guess is that the "roast" only refers to the visuals and that is doesn't have anything to do with better structural integrity or anything. Just pigments and laquer (if any). Only one to shed true light is EBMM though

How bout a nice sparkly "dry rub" on that roast BP? I love what the roasting does to these necks!

Sorry, but anything slightly food related is asking for trouble round here! With how popular BBQ/hot sauce related talk has been on the forum lately, you are lucky you got a sensible response at all

After all, let us all remember this: The most important things in life are food and guitar gear... maybe I have my priorities wrong?

I cant tella defference with the tone...could it be more stable possible...Ill let you know with more miles....
As far as the humor Isnt it ok in this day and age to have a little fun?

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....

Smoky, with a bouquet of apple and a hint of rock.

my guess it is a subtle tinting of the neck. Would not effect the tone unless you are a member of the gear page and have exceptional hearing.

rotf!

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!

Smelled a little fishy huh?

Did you fill in all the forms and run it by 'risk management' people!? -- hehehe

didn't Hendrix roast his guitars?

 

[browndog]

You would have to play half your set with your back to the audience.

 

[azazael]

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.

didn't add to the stability though...
