More Exotic Custom Strat Necks

This is a Warmoth neck consisting of a high grade Birdseye Maple and a Rosewood fret board. I lightly stained the maple with an amber oil finish using vigorously rubbing and multiple applications. Going with a Warmoth neck is not necessarily inexpensive. This neck cost $345 after nut and fret installation, shipping and taxes. On the other hand, I got exactly what I wanted in every regard.

The Rosewood was very carefully masked using blue painters masking tape along the sides and both ends. This was left in place for the staining and lacquering (satin nitro) process and even the wet sanding (more on that in my next posting). The tuning machines are Kluson Deluxe DR (SD9105MN DR).
