Most roasted maple just gets a nice amber honey colour.
the process is the same, and if you take it too far you will be left with a pile of dust

It does to a degree simulate an effect that happens over years to a piece of maple
The big advantage is that after this process, the wood becomes much less susceptible to moisture and climate changes, resulting in a more stable and predictable piece of wood. This is great for necks, especially, and will minimize need for adjustments between seasons and different weather conditions. An extra added bonus from this process is that, while stabilizing figured maple, which is typically not so stable, it also greatly enhances the colour and figuring in the wood.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

i think it is worth distinguishing between the fretboard wood/rosewood replacement gibson used and the stuff shown in the pic above. the same process is used but the aim is quite different. although some gibsons are quite light, they are generally after a dark wood look as the primary aim
those gibson boards are quite different to these musikraft necks
