Cracked Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi, I've never played a neck with just an oil finish and am about to build one. I was just wondering though, what would feel faster/smoother? I'm thinking that the maple would but then again, would the tung oil finish make them both feel the same or is it not that big a deal? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I would guess that the maple would feel smoother because of the tighter grain, but its still a very subjective thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Personal preference. To me, both feel fine, great, when oiled and/or french polished (my two favourite neck finishes). I never grain-fill the mahogany, and I can't say they feel like they 'drag' much, or at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
