Cutlass owners…neck feel query

The minister for finance has approved my next guitar purchase, and I am goint to nab either a Cutlass or an AL sss. I note the Cutlass neck does not have the gunnoil finish (any reason why?), and I am wondering if this is a big factor. I am particulrly interested in a good playing neck, so this is important (although I suppose I could do a home oiling on a cutlass). Thoughts?
