Ernie Ball Musicman certainly has released some great vibrant colors in the last year!  Same great tones with roasted maple necks as part of the upgraded feature set. One of the main benefits of roasted maple necks is their enhanced stability. The heating process removes moisture from the wood, making it less susceptible to changes in humidity. This means that roasted maple necks are less likely to warp or shrink, providing a more reliable and durable instrument.
