NGD - SC594 with Katalox neck

[Tonart]

Congrats, looks great! Had to look up Katalox, apparently its Royal Mexican Ebony. I’m sure it sounds killer!

PRS should call it by that name!

Seen some of katalox-neck-armed SCs in Europe an market for a while. Hopefully I could grab one but don’t have enough dough

Congrats seeing you scored it. Would you describe how it feels and sounds comparing to hog neck?

As mentioned, katalox has a very tight, fine grain and to me - as a fingerboard wood - it is identical in feel to ebony. As a solid neck wood, it is smooth to the touch and feels very slick on the palm. It does feel different to solid rosewood (as I have on a WL Custom 24 with RW neck), mainly because it is so very smooth. Personally, I love it as much as rosewood; rosewood is a more attractive wood though because of the colour and grain pattern.

I don’t know anything about that neck material, but it looks awesome and suits the killer look of the rest of the guitar!
