But then just cut the guy a new neck! If there is no problem with that neck, you should have no problem reselling it. That is ok! Every company has those from little to huge mistakes. Different roasting settings? Then they have a consistency problem (Which I doubt that is the case).Īgain: It was just a mistake. Cut from the same blank before roasting? Then makes less sense! As both pieces would have ended up being the same color tone. Saying: "We can't guarantee grain, color, etc" is perfectly understandable and most companies follow that. So you make the most logical choice: Both board and neck are the same wood, most guitars with those specs look the same, so choose a board that has the same ballpark of roasted color. It is just common sense for guitar players. Ask a 100 people here and 99 would not match that board to that neck if given the task. So, ok, it was a decision the customer did not vibe with. Roasting happens before glueing anything and cutting the rough blanks. I had seen some buckeye tops that were stunning and some that I really didn't like very much, and I did not want to be in this type of situation where I was unhappy and yet nothing was actually empirically wrong.Īnd they do roast their own wood, it's been mentioned multiple times during various Q&As.Īgain: Even if they do the roasting in-house, doesn't change anything. I was very cognizant of that when I ordered my Vader and that's why I waited literally months for the perfect top to pop up on a "top of the week" segment so I could grab it and at least know for certain what the front of the guitar was going to look like. It is a risk you take on knowingly when you custom order something from the company. Someone at the factory made a decision the customer didn't vibe with, and while that sucks it's not criminal and similar things happen all the time with builds from any manufacturer.someone gets disappointed by a top or a fretboard or a headstock overlay or whatever. They told me flat out it was not possible because they cannot guarantee how a piece of wood will look when they cut into it. When I ordered my Vader I asked about the possibility of paying more for a extra figured piece of black limba for the body. They will explicitly tell you due to the nature of wood and our build process we can't guarantee anything. That's the thing though, for the most part you can't/don't really "request" a look with this company.
