What's AAA+?
Every unit with this designation is at least AAA grade flame maple, with many units actually exceeding the standard. Allparts inspects each unit post-production to make certain the finished product is worthy of Allparts' AAA guarantee.

Why Roasted?
Roasting the wood enhances stability by reducing the moisture content down to around 7%. The result is a more-resonant neck that's stronger and less susceptible to changing weather conditions.

Features:

- Wood grain varies from neck to neck. Your neck may differ slightly from what is pictured.
- All necks have a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
- All necks may require fret leveling and polish. This is normal and not a defect.
- To protect… read more against the effects of moisture, Allparts recommends sealing unfinished necks prior to installation.
- Due to the lack of moisture in roasted maple, the risk for cracking is more apparent. When drilling holes for screws, Allparts recommends measuring inside and outside of the threads first to determine the correct drill bit to use. Do not force screws into holes drilled with smaller drill bits.
