I agree with everyone’s assessment.... they are special instruments, all incarnations. A few of mine:
I'm lovin' those pics!

I love my SCHBII. I don't know if it's the neck, the 57/08s, the hollow body, but right now it's the standard any guitar I'm going to buy has to meet. I like to think I prefer wide thin necks, but it's pattern regular in IRW does it for me.
I had an MEII and an SCT both with Rosewood necks loved them both. BUT
This is the one I still have

Cool and rational mind? Crap, I’ve been doing it wrong. Gin or tequila is usually involved, so my mind definitely isn’t rational!Shinksma, in post #3 of this thread, I've written about what a rosewood neck sounds, plays, and feels like. See if that might be your huckleberry jam.
Then stay away from post #8. I mean, don't go near it. Don't click or scroll down. Step away now, or else tie yourself to a mast, or something, till you can think straight again. Purchasing decisions must be made with a cool and rational mind.

I love RW necks. But I also love Mahogany, Maple and Pernie too! Life is too short, yada, yada, yadaA member here, who works for a retailer, told me that “If I ever played a rosewood neck PRS, I’d want to replace all my other guitars with rosewood versions of the same thing.” I wondered, if it’s that great, why aren’t they all rosewood? He said that as great as any PRS I had was, in his opinion, once I tried rosewood, I’d never go back. So, I wondered... if rosewood is that great.... you know the rest.
I put bid in on a nice 513 Rosewood. Couldn't quite get the price to where I was comfortable. I am sure other opportunities will come up.
So I bought a Core Acoustic instead. Look to that forum for a NGD sooner or later...

I'm gonna use that line the next time the Mrs tells me I'm not listening to her!You know how a guitar calls you by your secret name?
Maybe gin improves your hearing!
