Hi.
I wonder some question.
How come 62 Reissue (bass or Strat ; they are only I ve seen) has little redish neck and head color ? It's remarkably different from Current made guitar and bass's.

I heard that UV (ultraviolet) change the wood color to dark.
But, I don't think Fender has kept the neck wood at UV exposed place.
How come they have that color ? and, how can I change my whity neck to the color ?

Thank you for your idea and opinion.

Actually it isn't the wood, but the varnish. They are trying to mimic the aged varnish on the older strats and teles. It isn't the wood that changes color but the varnish. Just like in antique furniture.
