Guys,
So I was prepping my guitars for winter storage and noticed that my guitars that have rosewood necks all feel different from each other. For example, my McCarty's neck feels AWESOME ... Its feels satiny, like the smooth raw maple neck on the DC3 only much much better. However, the same type of rosewood is on my 408 and although it feels good (and looks beautiful), it feels raw as you can feel the ridges in the wood when you run your hand across it. My third rosewood neck'd guitar has a different type of rosewood than the other two guitars but it too feels raw like you can feel the pores in the wood.
Are these just different cuts or types of rosewood OR do you think something was done to the awesome one to make it feel the way it does?
I guess my question is how does PRS make a rosewood neck so satiny smooth and how can I get my other two to be like the first one? Is this some special process or special grade of wood?
I hope I described the way the necks feel well enough...
Thanks!
