roasted necks

[walleye]

im interested in roasted necks. can someone tell us (...me) of what it does to the guitar tonally?

also any explanations of the process?

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.

maybe it sounds..... roasted?

They sound slightly nutty. With hints of cocoa.

Roasted necks? Are you kidding me?

4 1/2 hrs @ 375 degress. Stunning

to see what is the talk about

Tasty, tasty roasted maple.

Looks like it gives the neck a very unique aesthetic quality. I would be interested to see if it makes the neck feel any smoother.

I wonder if the "roasting" wears off with playing? Probably if it is unfinished?

Don't they have a lacquer finish? I do think so...

Guess I'll have to settle for chestnuts this year

I would think there would be a laquer but I would also think cooking a lacquered neck would cause the wood to expand and the laquer to crack?

Cook it before the laquer!

may add to the flavor. maybe they can sprinkle some cayenne before the roasting to make it hot!

I think it's just a cunning way for BP to sell more BBQ's later on

"take maple neck, rub with luke hotsauce and put in on BPQ"

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?

If that theory is true then more stable unfinished necks could be produced couldn't they? Seems like a really out of the box idea but cool.
