HIGH STIFFNESS TO WEIGHT RATIO

The use of maple provides a high stiffness to weight ratio, which makes an exceptional material for use in creating a neck that can withstand a considerable range of string tensions.

DIMENSIONALLY STABLE

Since most lumber has a natural tendency to undergo dimensional changes in different environments, the process of torrefaction (also known as thermal modification or roasting) significantly reduces its sensitivity to different temperatures and humidity levels. By roasting a neck blank, one can expect to have long-term dimensional stability when compared to other conventional methods.

    These blanks are a fantastic value. The colors on the roasted maple blanks are gorgeous. I’ve carved a couple of tele necks out of these blanks in the past and I’m always surprised by the beauty and quality of the product. Highly recommend...you won’t regret it.

    Nice but expect to use your jointer

    As others have said, nice figure for 2A. Can be either thin, tight flame or larger figure with some void areas. Expect to lose some thickness after truing, straightening with your jointer or plane.
