The reasoning here was simple - nothing on this planet compares to the precision and stability of a Moses Carbon Fiber neck. And the new blends of material respond like noting else, with strong responses from all even harmonics, and consistent response across the whole frequency range.  The precision is a very strong point, allowing a setup that is unlike anything else on Every fret. 

 One with a lot of experience can setup a stabilized wood neck to play well, yet this setup will change and loose those fine adjustments over time. And wood of any kind simply has a list of limitations from the beginning. While many have learned how to apply a kind of genius to getting around those limitations - starting with wood on this component of an instrument means starting with a deficit. It's a matter of simple physics - one could build a neck out of press-board, but the results would be pretty obvious to all prior to this experiment. A guitar neck is finite for the job it performs, and inconsistent materials will yield results that many guitar players are well aware of - dead spots, lack of response in certain areas of the fretboard, strings bottoming out on the next fret up the scale, buzz when setting the action at a desirable height, and the list goes on...

Many are not wise to the differences of the current Moses product, and how great it Sounds next to the old SB stuff without a truss-rod.  The old necks were superb for bass (to a point), but had an extreme lack of edge, sparkle, and harmonic overtones that any guitar player desires. The new product from Moses Carbon Graphite is a new animal, on many levels. Just as it was said when this new material was released "it's all in the mix" - this new and radically different science was engineered to Sound great, and it does. The stability, precision, and strength are still present - And, it is rich with harmonic response and life! Reliable and consistent at all times.

A note regarding both Steinberger and Moses necks of All ages and makes. Extreme heat will damage anything made of this kind of composite. So as long as one doesn't leave their guitar roasting in the trunk of their car for hours, at 150% - no harm will come to the instrument.  All materials have their vulnerabilities, and just a little common sense will avoid mishap. With 15+ years of extensive experience with Moses product, we have yet to come across a new or used Moses neck that was even a micrometer out of spec'! This truly makes a strong statement about a Passion for precision and excellence!

Fretsong Guitars is proud of our relationship with Moses Carbon Graphite, and will continue to build a compliment to this neck with grace and integrity. The finest wood, and design on all fronts. Another fine addition to this mix, is an MB-27 neck with a 24.75" scale. This neck will still setup and use the same double ball end strings if desired, or run with any standard strings, due to the new Moses end piece - string claw. This offers that buttery "short" scale with 24 frets, and all those fine harmonic differences - mixed with the unparalleled performance of the Moses MB-27.
