Rosewood Necks...

[Irreverent]

Rosewood necks on TAG's. Are they very common? If you have one, do you like it? Are they phenomenally better than a maple or mahogany neck on a TAG?

Just wondering what your thoughts might be...

Thanks!

I have a Hollow Cobra S with a RW neck and it looks and feels fantastic. :) It sounds a bit darker than the same guitar with a mahogany neck, so I suppose many would prefer the mahogany neck for tonal reasons.

After spending some time with the guitar I've found it works extremely well for barking power chords from the H2+ bridge pickup.

But, it took me quite a while to dial the low mids back into the neck/middle M1s for the sparkly cleans that I was aiming for when I got it. However, I'm not sure how much of this is due to the hollow nature of the guitar vs the rosewood neck. I suspect a combination of the two.

Totally dig the RW neck on my Atom. The guitar rings for days. And there's a another cool thing that I have never experienced before, you can feel the notes in your hand! Plus, the neck feels really smooth. My next TAG will have one too. I'm sold on them.

Thanks for your thoughts! Keep 'em comin'.

And sweet guitars, santellavision!

Peace.
