I'd get the torrefied one, simply for the better stability. Any tone difference is likely imaginary, and if not, it's mitigated by a hundred other factors.I am in the process of ordering a custom built strat. am given the choice of torrefied or regular maple. just want to know more.
I bought some recently on Amazon that have a 5% tolerance.A volume pot has a 20% tolerance range to work with.
hippie sandwich?But flat sawn is better/more sonically suited than quarter sawn.
Very little experience here, but I don't see anything in roasted that justifies the process except maybe you live near a large body of water, therefore needing durable things that float. From what I remember the reasons are along similar lines as quarter sawn for high end builds, it exists, it costs more, it is a niche skill and has yet to have proven mass market appeal outside of DIY boutique and custom orders. I'd rather have really dark orange or red stain personally. Heavy poly lacquer too but I see that's not tgp approved. AFAIK your heavy flame, roasted walnut gold hardware neck would be, though
I don't get your reference. But in an effort to reply, I keep hoping there's something in roasted that works with a poly coat and would match a tight solid color from the Fender chart. Finishes with painted necks and matching headstocks with flame/figure on the back would be cool to see again. There just used to be so many more options on offer for combination veneer/painted. Then I realise I don't like/don't want about 80-90% of colors for the paint job. Oh wellhippie sandwich?
