4. What is the difference between stainless steel and nickel frets?
Stainless steel frets are more durable and resistant to wear compared to nickel frets. They offer a smoother playing experience and maintain their shine and feel for a long time, making them a great choice for players who want minimal maintenance. Nickel frets, on the other hand, are softer and easier to work with if you need adjustments or prefer a slightly warmer tonal quality. Both have their advantages, so the choice depends on your personal preference and playing style.

5. Why choose a roasted maple neck over a non-roasted maple neck?
Roasted maple necks are kiln-dried at high temperatures, which removes moisture and stabilizes the wood. This process makes the neck more resistant to humidity and climate changes, reducing the need for seasonal adjustments. Additionally, roasted maple enhances the wood’s natural beauty, giving it a richer color and more pronounced grain. Non-roasted maple necks, while slightly more cost-effective, offer a traditional feel and look. Both options are excellent, but roasted maple is a great choice for those seeking enhanced stability and aesthetics.

6. Are all your necks pre-fitted with bone nuts?
Yes, all of our necks come with bone nuts that are pre-cut, slotted, and installed. Bone nuts provide excellent tone transfer, durability, and sustain, making them a superior choice for achieving professional sound quality.

7. Do your necks come with truss rods installed?
Absolutely. Every neck we sell includes a 2-way truss rod pre-installed. This allows for precise adjustments to ensure your neck stays perfectly straight or curved to your preferred specifications, regardless of string tension or environmental changes.

8. Can I use any finish on an unfinished neck, and what do you recommend?
Yes, you can use almost any finish on our unfinished necks. For roasted maple necks, we recommend using boiled linseed oil for a fast-playing, smooth surface that enhances the grain’s beauty. However, you can also use other finishes like lacquer, polyurethane, or tung oil, depending on your desired look and feel. The choice of finish is entirely up to your project and preferences.
