Long ago, the first Warmoth neck I bought was a standard thin and it worked so well that over the years the next 14 or so necks that I bought were also standard thins. A few years ago I got to wondering if any of the other profiles would be better for me, so I ordered 4 others (wizard, wolfgang...

I read about the alligator clips for holding the springs when mounting pickups (great idea!) and made a note to self to buy some next time I was at a hardware store, but I never got around to it. Today I needed to mount humbuckers in a pickguard and, thinking about the function of the...

They all sound good and have their strengths. I have 2 favorites. One is a chambered roasted alder 7/8 strat with roasted maple neck, SSS (2 Duncan SSL1s + Twang Banger) and Fender American trem. Very light and resonant. It is loud with a very strong and clear fundamental played unplugged and it...

Thanks to information from Logrinn, since 2018 I've built ten 24" scale Mustang neck + 7/8 Strat Warmoths and one Custom Tele Headstock 24" neck + 7/8 Tele Warmoth. That's 11 in total. Four of the 7/8 Strat bodies have Floyd Rose Original Tremolos, two have Tone Pros tune-o-matic bridges, and...

I have a builder-designed body with finish arriving next week. 13.5 weeks since I placed the order.

On 10/22/2021, I ordered a an alder body with a satin sunburst finish and a roasted maple neck, both built to order. They arrived last weekend, 01/15/2022. About 12 weeks.

That guitar is beautiful! :yourock:

Have you considered a heavier sustain block for your tremolo bridge? I don't what kind of tremolo bridge you have and what types of blocks/materials might be available for it, but I upgraded to a tungsten block in one of my Floyd Rose equipped guitars and that block is quite heavy.

Once I learned of Logrinn's builds (thanks, man!) I went on a spree over the past few years and built six 7/8 strats with Mustang/Jaguar necks. I can confirm that I have used Tone Pros Tune-O-Matic, Floyd Rose Original, and Fender American Deluxe bridges with strings gauged .009 to .011 and all...

Here are two images. Warmoth 7/8 strat in Dakota red satin and Warmoth soloist in alpine white gloss. I lined up the ends of the bodies in the second image. Hope these help.

There is the Floyd Rose turbo trem arm upgrade which sports a 3mm Allen wrench on the base of the trem arm: https://floydrose.com/collections/upgrades/products/turbotrm?variant=29837657554 I am a home studio guy, so a 3mm wrench is always nearby (in an Altoids tin, no less  :) ), but if I were...
