Tracking number PM'd and on its way! -Enjoy, James Maher!

Well, that didn't take long at all!

Time to purge my spare parts bin again. And as we all know, one man's junk is another's treasure. So, I will ship free of charge (to the first continental US mailing address PM'd to me) this mystery box full of various serviceable guitar peices-n-parts. Take what you can use, pass on the rest...

Thanks, guys! I will try without. And if that isn't going to work on this particular instrument, I will start poking around in the offset community to source one. -Much appreciated!

I am hoping to get away without it (-as a rule, I usually find string trees/guides to be completely unnecessary, and so they're typically omitted on my builds), but if I have an experience like Mayfly's, then I'd like to know where to find one that's authentic for the headstock shape.

Yeah, Pete, I saw that six holer for the acoustic and figured that wasn't what I was looking for based on the images I was getting on Google when searching "electric XII headstock".

Mayfly, where did you get your "authentic" style retainer? So far, I haven't found one similar to the one in the OP's screen shot FS online.

Thanks, Pete! I think I will try without first. If it goes south and the octave strings get jumpy it can always be added later, right?

:doh:the photo was snagged off Google. I don't know what W's design is like because I just placed my order (don't have the neck yet). Plan on putting on two sets of Fender/Kluson style tuners (one righty set and one lefty set), which are ordered, so the staggered post ship has already sailed. I...

As indicated in the thread title, I am wondering how necessary (if at all) is the string tree/retainer for Warmoth's XII neck; absolutely required, or are the tuner reams in line with the nut slots well enough to omit the guide?

[tt]I was just gonna go on here to say the very same thing. Bagman hit the nail on the head.

...well that didn't take long.  :occasion14:

You guys are too kind! -Just glad to help!

PM received. With any luck, it should be on its way tomorrow.
