Curly Honduras Cedar Neck 650x85x22

Overview Curly Honduras Cedar Neck 650x85x22

These Honduran cedar handles have been carefully selected for their spectacular curl, a characteristic that gives each piece an exclusive look, giving your guitar an identity of its own. This particularity of the wood will be even more evident after lacquering and polishing. The high quality of this handle will place your instrument in a very high range in terms of performance and finish.

Along with mahogany, cedar handles are still the first choice of most guitar makers. The combination of high strength and low weight make cedar an ideal wood for the fundamental function required of the neck: to support the tension exerted by the strings.

All the great guitar makers have used cedar in their guitar necks. The list would be endless if we had to mention them one by one. This universalization of use clearly speaks to the suitability of this wood for use in guitar necks.

Honduran cedar is a soft wood with orange-brown tones, golden highlights and a characteristic, pleasant smell. It has a very open pore (it is essential to use a pore filler) and works fantastically well.

At the time of taking the photo we have applied a natural oil that allows you to get an idea of how the wood will look once finished. It is perfectly normal that the color in the photos is altered for this reason.
