Re: Soloist necks?
All production Soloists have painted necks. You can specify an unfinished neck through the Custom Shop or some aftermarket work can be done to create it."Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
Gotta get away from here.
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

Re: Soloist necks?
Yeah, that's what I meant. The necks being finished like the body. I tried playing on those before and for some reason it felt really grippy in my hand. I couldn't get a smooth slide along the neck. Anybody else have that problem or am I just a freak? lol

SLAT
Slatqh
I was told by both Matt, and Kevin that they can be ordered either way. The one I have on order is identical to this: Slatqh I also talked to a local dealer who told me the oiled MAH necks didn't go over well because of the open grain.>>--HuntinDoug-->

As far as the JS: Mine was clear satin from the factory.
I have A Charvel with "full Paint" which some of you may remember, fast enough for me and comfy, same with my flying v and lester.
But I find My DK-1s unfinished neck and the stripped neck on my ´88 Soloist by far faster and more comfortable. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
