AngelDeVille Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm starting my next project and thought I had an idea of what I wanted for neck material. The last project I went with Baked Maple for the neck and fingerboard. The biggest reason I chose it was the fact that it doesn't need finishing. I'm not a "tonewood" believer so I'm going for looks and ease of use. I thought I would go with Indian rosewood neck with rosewood fretboard, but the cost is borderline excessive. I'm leaning toward a purpleheart neck, but I'm not certain on the fretboard. What are your experiences with different neck woods? I do have a German Warwick with a wenge/wenge neck but it's not particularly exciting in the looks department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Try posting in the build section - you'll get much more interest in this post from the friendly bunch over there: https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/15-build-diaries/ and more advice and opinions than you can shake a stick at! Personally, I don't like the feel of open pore styles - shame as they are a feature of every Ibanez I've ever liked the look of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
