[beej]

Wow ... really nice.

Dargin ... so there's no oil/wax on these necks ("chemical treatments")?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

And there you have it!

 

[browndog]

Yeah baby yeah! I just want to take a bite out of that neck.

 

[threeminutesboy]

How long is the ordering Window ? Do you have other pictures to show us Dargin?

Hey Beej,
I think I can help answer your question for Scott. I'm one of the engineers who did some of the testing for these necks. The mention of no need for "chemical treatments" is in comparison to other popular wood treatments which make woods more resistant to warping. For instance, there are a variety of chemical treatments used on deck woods or fence posts to make them more resistant to the moisture changes. In this case, the thermal treatment of the wood creates a neck material which is more resistant to environmental changes without needing to use a harsh chemicals.

I was hoping for the roasted necks to see the light of day.

Very cool......any word on other guitars getting this option?

 

[Ricman]

^^ See the bottom of the flyer...available on all models except FR and Classic series.

Stunning!!!

Is the ebony fretboard compulsory, or can you have a straight maple neck?

Is the black sugar finish also compulsory? Sorry for the dumb questions...

 

[Dargin]

The package only comes with an ebony fretboard.

 

[Ricman]

Thanks Dargin

 

[beej]

Chris- thank you, very thorough answer.

Is the roasting process similar to what Anderson and Suhr do with their Chocolate and Vulcanized necks which have the same properties and benefits as the roasted maple?

I think their process includes baking the wood at a very high temperature in a special oven that removes oxygen as it cooks so the wood doesn't burn.

 

[Ricman]

I'm just thinking through the possibilities....BFR JP Body....unfinished roasted neck...ebony fretboard...black sugar finish..natural headstock....

Wow. When do you guys at EBMM sleep?
