dunno, mine is straight like an arrow, not even a small dead spot, the C shape a perfect fit for my hand. I don't like the color, too much clear, but I guess it will darken with time, and I didn't like the satin finish, a bit too rough, I resolved energically rubbing with some paper towels, as...

I'd go countercurrent, a JB with a 250KA vol , instantly a plethora of old and new school sounds

OT: sorry, english is not my mother language, could you please enlight me about ? I'm curious

A friend of mine gave me an affinity tele neck, it looked and felt so good that I used it with a pretty expensive tele body, even the frets edge was good, not rolled off (of course) but smooth enough

I've had a SSL5 on the bridge of my #1 strat for 20 years, coupled with a pair of SSL1, 1 vol, 1 general tone pot only , both 250KA , it's my standard reference sound

D'addario XL 10-46 on my strats, teles and my les paul special, XL 11-49 on jazzmaster, jaguar and mustang. I've always used Dunlop tortex 1.00, almost 35 years so far

I don't like being dependent on an app, software gets old too soon, I like thinking I can use my stuff after fashion changes and computer stuff gets unusable. These products are a good commercial hook for people, you can't use anymore this thing you got used to? Buy my new stuff, etc. No, I...

My bandmate has a tonex and it seems he likes it but he doesn't get mad, Ive never seen him messing with the app

I hoped my wife got me a real vintage '54 strat but, no , unfortunately she gave some pairs of socks

Hint : in millimeter, at least for guitar, you can approximate at the first decimal, so 3.2 mm is ok on a bass side of a single coil, but you can even round at 0.5, so 3.0 mm is ok too, if you want to be sure the magnetic pull is zero 3.5 mm but I think it's even too much
