This is what I'm talking about:
Anyone who hasn't tried an all rosewood neck owes it to themselves to give it a go.
Or there's this one ...
I prefer natural wood anyway, rather than something that's been suffocated in plastic, and always oil-finish my own-build necks through choice.
My favourite used to be mahogany, Sort of warm and soft feeling (whereas maple always felt harder) and smooth to play - though that's always helped by a simple oil finish. But then I tried rosewood, which - to my hands - just felt nicer still. Plus, I prefer the look, grain pattern and colouring of rosewood.
The one with the skunk strip is a Warmoth custom job. It was pricey, but the £/$ rate was a whole lot better at the time.
The top one was made out of an old piece of Rosewood that I stumbled across at David Dyke's many years ago. I sat on it (not literally) thinking that one day I'd trust myself enough to make a neck out of it. But GSP makes far better necks than I ever will, so I ended up sending it to him.
I've got others, but you asked for *Telecasters*
@ttony - yes only interested in Teles thanks although I’m sure they look equally good on Stratalikes and probably others.
A Rosewood neck is sublime
Although anyone who lacquers a Rosewood neck needs something painful doing to them, even if their name if Fender. Rosewood necks are meant to be felt and enjoyed “au naturel”.
I LOVE rosewood necks!
