The back of that neck, and most Fender CS guitars, just looks awful.
It Amazes me but much of the Fender Custom Shop production run relicing might best be described as ham fisted. A bald-to-the-timber patch right where your forearm rests on the body was infinitely improbable before the invention of the orbital sander.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I feel like thats a good thing though, you'd want them to protect the tips of the V and being just a sleeve like sock they wouldn't do that :-(

Well, it is all maple — rather than the mix and match of most guitars.
