I was after a neck that I could finish myself due to a strong preference to have a tung oil finish. My Allparts neck had a beautiful wood structure that I was able to highlight using an alcohol-based wood stain. It comes sanded however some difficult spots needed some more sanding to get decent quality. The fretwork is pretty good and it's actually playable without further levelling. It's just a shame that they used narrow vintage frets, because jumbo would be my type. Overall, I think it's a great neck, I find it nicer than the stock one on my MIM Telecaster.
