My Vortex neck still has too much relief even if I maxed out the trussrod adjustment. I noticed there are 4 spacers below the nut screw. Will the neck adjustment go further to the right if I remove a few spacers ? Or add in more spacers ?

The owner of the neck dug up his invoice when I asked him. Frets are stainless steel apparently.

I have the same suspicion that it has been refretted with nickel silver wires but great job. The heel says SS6115 so I took it from there. It's a customer's neck and he is also not sure of its history.

This neck is only 3 years old but often played. Can this be true ?

Having compiled an order and reaching the payment stage, I cannot complete the transaction. I reviewed back and checked every item and found no errors then looking down, they are now disallowing orders containing Mahogany. Wow, that's new to me. Then checking further, they disallow bone as...

Putting a Bigsby on a Tele build. Not going to shim the neck to get a pitch. Thinking of a Tune-O-Matic bridge rather than notching the Tele Bridge plate to get string clearance.

How do you push past the stoppage ?

Another luminary among us.  Congrats...

Just heard it on Spotify. Very nice work, Aaron.  Great playing and good vocals.

I scored a dismantled Warhead Maple vin-mod neck from one of Aaron's demo guitars.  When I received it, the neck was slightly backbowed even after loosening the trussrod.  I thought for the price I cannot expect too much.  To my surprise, it is near perfect after I installed it. I didn't have to...

It's closer to a Tele Thinline than a Gibby 335 in my experience since I use a Trem bridge and a Warhard 25.5" scale.

Stratamania, I hollowed out a Tele under the resonator plate leaving behind the centre stump to sit the resonator biscuit bridge.  I don't have enough depth to sit in the resonator cone to let it vibrate hence more decorative than sounding.

rick2, yes it's Malaysia.  Glad you have visited Kota Kinabalu.  Great city with friendly people and exotic foods.

In celebration of our country's borders opening for overseas travel, here is a Youtube video we made during the most difficult period of lockdowns and social distancing. Warmoth projects helped maintain my sanity (the builder) and great players' focus and morale to keep playing...

That was before Lic by Fender era. The buyer shapes their own or left as is on the overhang. Quite troublesome for finished necks though.

Firebird or LP Deluxe mini humbuckers ? Both are usually mounted using pickup rings so fitting has some flexibility.

The ones sold by Warmoth under Fender American Series 2-pivot trem seem to be different from Callaham's replacement blocks.  Fender's blocks are tapered whereas Callaham's are not.    Anyone knows if I can upgrade to using Callaham's  ?

Hats off to Guitar #9 for being a true competitor who didn't even voted for himself.

When you order a rear routed body with a 5-way switch, they should prepare a lowered cavity slot like the one pictured.  You can send it back for alteration or do it by someone experienced.  Since the alteration is inside the control cavity and not outwardly visible, using correct sized Fostner...
