In other words they are CNC machined copies of hand carved necks, like on the Blazer21. I've also heard there are more hand finishing steps that go into a prestige neck. All I know is that they feel better, and I don't know why. Do you know the scoop on this? Are there specific added steps that go into making every prestige guitar? Or does it differ by model? -Sven Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 - 3:07 am:    Sven, even though they are cut on CNC's, the beauty of the necks is the hand sanded finishing.Each Prestige model receives multiple hand sandings and also multiple body/headstock finish polishing as well. This is why they are such a beauty to behold as soon as you unbox them. For obvious reasons I am not able to say exactly how many times All Prestige models regardless of factory a done to these guidelines.

I'm looking forward to purchasing my first Korean Prestige model, which should be in Aug or Sept. (have to sell a few first) -Sven
