    How much meat on a Precision neck?

    I don't think I did enough research before ordering my precision bass neck - it's 43mm wide at the nut and a standard profile, which apparently is pretty standard for a vintage P bass... I just wish I had access to a vintage P so I would have known this is not for me 😂😥 Selling this neck and...

    Proud locking nut - best practise to improve action?

    Hi all. I've just put together a new superstrat with locking system. Action is a little high near the nut, as a result notes played on the first few frets are pulling sharp ever so slightly when fretted. Most noticeable on the bass strings. I want to try and resolve. Just wondering what...

    De-Floyding a guitar

    Hi all I've built quite a few Wamoth-based projects over the years.  One of them has a locking tremolo that I think I want to delete.  I chose to install a Schaller locking bridge, knowing if it didn't work out, there was a Vintage Tremolo option I could replace it with.  And that's now my...

    Any recent Aussie customers?

    G'day folks.  Looking for feedback from recent Warmoth customers from Australia. Any comment on current shipping turnaround times? If I were to order something in the next week, what is a realistic timeframe to my doorstep? Well aware that shipping delays are par for course at the moment. ...

    Not happy with new body, but what can I do?

    G'day from Australia :) I've just received a roasted alder p-bass body to replace the jazz body on my Warmoth bass.  I just find p- bodies that little bit more comfortable. I was over the moon then my partner called me to say it had finally arrived.  I raced home at light speed to get my...

    Angled pocket to straight

    I have a pair of all-Warmoth superstrats.  One guitar has a floating Floyd Rose tremolo setup, the other has an angled neck pocket and a flush-to-body Floyd Rose tremolo.  I much prefer the floating setup, so I would like to modify the other to the same layout. Taking measurements is proving...

    1991 American Standard Strat needs a new neck

    1991 Fender American Standard Stratocaster.  I've owned this since new.  The neck has already been refretted twice, needs doing again - I think it's time to put this neck into retirement. A few questions: - will a Warmoth showroom strat neck be a drop in replacement for a 1991 American...

    Lime/white washed Black Korina pics?

    I've googled around but found nothing.  Looking for pics of black korina wearing a lime/white wash, or even under a Mary Kay white finish. If anyone has any pics of a black korina guitar wearing one of these finishes, i'd love to see it.

    Vintage White vs Cream

    My next build is a Jazz Bass.  I want it to be a buttery colour, but not quite as dark as butterscotch blonde.  Seeing Warmoth don't do custom colours, I think the closest to what I am chasing is either vintage white or cream.  I can find individual examples of these colours in the showcase, but...

    Does Warmoth do custom colours?

    G'day from Australia. For my next project i'm wanting a finish that falls somewhere between Mary Kaye white and Butterscotch Blonde.  Will Warmoth do this for me, and any idea of the surcharge (if any). I'd ask them directly, but I thought a 24/7 forum might give me a faster answer.

    Warmoth mint pickguards... any photo examples?

    Looking for photo examples of how Warmoth's mint pickguards look on a guitar... preferably attached to an olympic white strat. Seems to be a shade that varies slightly from vendor to vendor, and to be honest Warmoth's option looks a very unattractive shade of green on their website... that...

    Locking nut possible on vintage modern neck?

    I'm looking at a replacement neck for my HSS build.  It seems I have to stick with Pro construction if I want any type of locking nut.  But quite frankly, I prefer the aesthetic options of the Vintage Modern necks - one piece, skunk stripe, headstock truss rod adjustability rather than side of...

    Flush mount Floyds

    Quick Q - can Warmoth route for those of us that like our Floyd Roses flush mounted to the body, as opposed to recessed and floating?

    Just how big is that rear cavity?

    I'm planning on a new superstrat (ditched my plans for a V... i'll play it safe with a strat).  One left-field addition will be the install of a sustainiac pickup, which requires 9V power.  The only controls will be a volume knob and a five-way pickup selector (bridge pu, neck pu, and the three...

    Nut included?

    I gotta ask a question as it's not exactly clear via the build wizard... or maybe it is and i'm just not seeing it.  My next build is going to have a locking system.  Via the neck builder, the R4 locking nut option is $45... is this price inclusive of the locking nut or just for the cnc/prep...

    Pics of Warmoth K-Vs?

    Been scratching around online for pictures of Warmoth K-V projects... i've found a few photos via Google and the Warmoth customer build pages, but i'd like to see more.  I'll soon be building my own shredder - i'd love to use K-V body shape for this role, but i'm yet to be convinced I should...

    Variax Replacement Advice

    I'm wanting to get a Strat body/neck made to suit my Variax 500 electronics.  Can anyone offer me advice as to what woods to choose - I mainly play rock, blues, rockabilly, surf and reggae if that's any help, and I prefer clean mildly overdriven tones to balls-out distortion. Can anyone show me...
