| I was just wondering which people prefer. A gloss finished neck, a Satin finished neck, or a raw oiled and waxed neck. I prefer Gloss finished myself.

Pool = Billiards or maybe even that wimpy Snooker game for you folks across the creek :)

Until you mentioned the pool cue, I had no idea what an oiled neck might feel like. I had a sudden revelation as I recall handling a few of those in the Poway bars, there were rumors of big money games in that little town, I made and lost a few bucks. Billiards were not played there that I know of, but I'm sure a proponent of such a variation would have been welcome if he had money to put on the line. I still prefer a gloss neck as that's all I've ever played and I'd hate to find myself trying to hit a cue ball with a $2000 Adamas because of repressed memories.
