Post Graphite Neck?
Does anyone know if the Moses Graphite Neck is still available on a new NS order?

Thanks!

I don't think so.

My guess is that supply problems were at least part of what drove the new bamboo neck.

That, the cost of third-party outsourcing (Emmett commented at one point that the neck itself was a huge part of the cost of the instrument), and also possibly not being being able to integrate some SE-centric innovations like the Rails(tm).

Upside being, now we get The Rails(tm), and the new bamboo (and more recently Wenge) necks look gorgeous. 8-)

Who knows--maybe we'll start seeing other NS neck wood options down the road at some point. Just conjecture on my part, of course. ;)

Is that case for all sticks? (no more graphite) or just the NS Stick.
I used to own a 10 string graphite... loved that material!

I think it would be a shame if the graphite were no longer available. :(

I know, my current NS has the Moses neck. I love the feel of it and it seems wonderfully light.

I love the look of Wenge, but on my next NS, I'd need to feel if there's much a difference in instrument balance between the graphite, Wenge and bamboo necks.

Nice to see that was brought back, mine is one of the first run of NS's made a couple years before the graphites were sold. I believe mine is Wenge also as it matched a Warwick I once owned. I've tried a graphite-necked NS, the low end was better, but I like the melody side of mine better. I'd like to see how a new model with Wenge compares, especially with fret rails. The neck on mine is incredibly stable, can't recall adjusting it that much.
