Re: Mahogany neck with no pore filler. I wish it was smoother.
There used to be a line of acoustic guitars that were a house brand of Guitar Center years ago. They were actually made in Korea by Cort. I wish I could remember the brand name but they came and went. I played one and thought it sounded great, so I considered buying one. One of the characteristics was the mahogany back sides and neck had what as advertised as an open pore finish. No pore filler so it had those dimples everywhere. It was touted as "allowing the wood to breathe".What nonsense. Not using pore filler on mahogany is skipping a tedious and time consuming step to keep costs down, nothing more.
I would imagine that as time goes on you will get more and more used to that neck while your hand polishes it smoother. It will never get perfectly smooth though.
