Fortunately, as you already know, I have two teles. I have an amazing Nash tele. And my American Fender tele has an all rosewood neck that is to die for. And both have Lollar pickups that I installed.An honest man giving an honest answer. I like it.
That solid rosewood neck is a thing of beauty! What are the tonal results of such an exquisite piece of wood on a tele? Warmth? Brightness? Roundness?Fortunately, as you already know, I have two teles. I have an amazing Nash tele. And my American Fender tele has an all rosewood neck that is to die for.

Playing them acoustically i notice a warmer and rounder fuller tone from the rosewood neck. Its not dark and muddy at all. Its articulate. May be an odd description but its just an earthy natural resonance feel and tone also. I do have to keep in mind the rosewood neck fender is on an alder body also. The Nash is an ash body with the maple neck so that may lend the Nash to having its snappier, brighter, quick attack etc….
Makes sense, and seems to track with my own Fender strat experiences. Just never tried a solid rosewood neck before.
It feels great also. That unfinished rosewood goodness
No doubt. A nice oily wood, super smooth in the hand. I like ebony and rosewood for the reason they can basically be buffed to a super silky smooth feel without the need to use a finish on them just by using a fine grade of sandpaper.
