Keegan Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm not sure about a neck, but you could smoke up some tasty meat with it. If you're itching to use it, try it for a fretboard or top cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitars by Jake Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Yeah, Ive used it before, but never for a neck......Ive been getting some wierd requests lately. Guess that comes with custom building. Oh well. Edited May 10, 2009 by Guitars by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
