Victor was a stitcher

Forget about the tone wood discussion, let's proceed to tone metals. Is a SS neck brighter than aluminum? Is steel duller or brighter than alu.? What about copper or brass necks? How much is difference in tone if the neck is from the first vs last casting of the day?

Everybody knows that.......

I don't know. I would imagine it would heat up a bit.
Come on Steve, we're Canadian, you should be asking about outdoor winter gigs.

Does your tongue get stuck to the neck in the cold?

I had an Applause Ovation knockoff
it had a aluminum fretboard
The frets were aluminum as well
They dinged up super quick

I could imagine. I don't mind the extra bucks for stainless.
I was at one point going to make an aluminium fret board for a beater guitar just to try it out but the idea faded away.
Maybe when I retire and have more puttering time.

There never seams to be "more puttering time". No matter what it always seams to get filled up.

Or maybe it just seams that way because time goes by so much faster.

This is true.
