I was simpy responding to keiths remark :-

"Why can't the custom shop get such beautiful B/E maple wood ?"

That neck, by the way, is an AA birdseye on a 56 NOS model.

Hi John , i had a 56 NOS with a beatiful 2A BE neck, i now have a 59 NOS custom order 2A flame but a lot of their newer necks (2A's) are nowhere near as good as the Brason, the 56 was a beaut but the 59 is not as figured,

Isn't there a strength issue with the finely figured maples ?

The 40th Anniversary Hanks Strats have necks like rubber that need readjusting according to the season...
