Like this?



It's actually subtler and darker in real life.

The back of the neck is a beautifully soft satin finish and I could go for a whole guitar in that finish, but I'm totally happy with the SFT...

Anybody agree with me???
Meet you half way. I also have a shorty SFT and think that a finer matte texture (like on a matte Larrivee, or on the Rainsong neck) would be much nicer than the rough finish without looking "plasicy"

That is the classic look I love in a SB

CA nailed it on that axe!

You are a blessed man!
