Model Overview

A complete contrast to the flashy hair metal of the ‘80’s, Stevie Ray Vaughan emerged as one of the greatest blues players of all time.  His incredibly expressive tone, authentic voice, and powerful delivery not only revived the genre, but inspired legions of players and gear builders to pursue bigger, bolder, bluesier tones.  Our “Pride and Joy” neck pays homage to his remarkable contribution to guitar playing and his influence on tone by combining many of his preferred specs into one highly playable replacement neck.    

What's Roasted Quartersawn?

Quartersawn wood blanks offer enhanced stability vs. the flatsawn neck blanks most necks are manufactured from.  Roasting the wood further enhances stability by reducing the moisture content down to around 7%.  The result is a more-resonant neck that’s stronger and less susceptible to changing weather conditions.

Important Notes

• Statements relating to artists are intended only for reference and do not imply endorsement, association or use of this product.    
• Wood grain varies from neck to neck.  Your neck may differ slightly from what is pictured.
• All necks have a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
• All necks may require fret leveling and polish.  This is normal and not a defect.
• To protect against the effects of moisture, we recommend sealing unfinished necks prior to installation.
• Due to the lack of moisture in roasted maple, the risk for cracking is more apparent.  When drilling holes for screws, we recommend measuring inside and outside of the threads first to determine the correct drill bit to use.  Do not force screws into holes drilled with smaller drill bits.
