    Warmoth truss adjustment for Vortex neck.

    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 ?

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

    More limitations for overseas orders

    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...

    How deep is recessed cavity for Tune-O-Matic bridge cavity for Warmoth flat top ?

    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.

    Shout out to Aaron Cheney for a near perfect neck.

    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...

    Warmoth projects for sanity and morale building.

    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...

    Replace Fender American Series trem block with Callaham.

    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  ?

    New Warmoth website feedback from old timers seen negative.

    Can't help but reading the feedbacks on Warmoth's new website and find most old timers are not liking it.  I just put it down to Warmoth's opportunity to re-invent for a newer market target as we now live in a "new normal".  The same thought passed through my head when I was no longer qualified...

    Is Sire the new boutique guitar slayer ?

    It seems Sire guitars and basses are entering the arena where Suhr, Xotic and Tom Anderson thrives but with a better price point and yet getting the same quality components.  Some of my builds cater for this market as well but since I offer more personalized choices, I am not in direct...

    Warrantee on necks based on finishing.

    On the Warmoth Guitars Facebook page, there is an uncertainty as to what finishing is considered void of warrantee.  Will Tru Oil fall into this category or it is in fact an acceptable finishing ?

    Question of Warmoth installed nut...

    Are they heavily glued on and a tap with a screw driver is not likely to dislodge it ?

    Wilkinson tremolo recessed rout

    I'm wondering if this recessed rout will work with a Gotoh 510 trem unless Warmoth can offer recessed rout for Gotoh as well.

    Warmoth pitched headstock neck maxed out on trussrod adjustment to straighten.

    I tried turning the lug to the right and it will not budge.  The neck is relatively new and has multiple washers behind the trussrod lug which means the factory had already tried straightening it ?  I have a feeling the wood is inherently bowed and applying pressure on the metal rod does very...

    Does Warmoth use Nitrocellulose lacquer on their gloss finished necks ?

    A customer said the neck I changed for him is reacting to the plush material in his guitar case and picking up furs being stuck to it.  First time I hear this issue.

    New 3x3 headstock in the pipeline ?

    Aaron, apart from the stepped Firebird-style 6-in-line peghead I noticed there will to be a new 3x3 headstock coming ?  From Insta picture half revealed, it appears the string nut slots are cut for straight string pull alignment  rather than having a kink at the break angle (refer picture). ...

    Remembering Ken Warmoth

    Sadden to hear Old Man Warmoth passed today.  I've known him since him and Paul were helping out their dad, Jim.  My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.  Just last week I found an old letter Ken wrote to me some 25 years ago while cleaning out my files.  A true gentleman with...
