I spoke to a tech the other day, and he said he did the exact same thing to quite a few Warmoths ?

After a week of having 11's on the guitar, and before I did a reverse shim, I decided to put some 10's back on. The guitar really comes alive and the buzzing in the first 5 frets was minimal. The action seems to have heightened slightly. A lot of differences of opinions from several techs v's...

The reply from Warmoth was to have my tech install a shim in the neck pocket.  Have him place the shim at the top of the neck pocket, this will angle the neck so that you have slightly higher action at the first 5 frets. I'm on to it  !

I'll just have to wait and see what Warmoth have to say. Very disappointed at the moment :(

I received the guitar neck in December, so it's definitely under warranty. The tech I take my equipment too is very reputable. He has to dress the frets when it arrived, as the frets were covered with the nitro finish when Warmoth did the finish, so the measurements should be correct. He then...

So under the information I have given. Do you think the neck is defective and should be sent back, or is it still savable ? I can't put 10's or lighter on it as the neck only pulls up ( slightly ) when strung up with 11's ? Apologies to all for my barrage of guitar questions. I blame it on...

I appreciate the feedback. I assume this neck I have is a rock hard piece of maple that is as stubborn as hell and won't move. Maybe I should put 13's on it and see if it pulls up  :laughing7: Conflicting reports can be very confusing though. Some say give it some time and the neck will...

I would love to go back to just putting 10's on, but then the neck will straighten out and I'm back to square one. Even with 11's on it, the truss rod is not operational, and there is very little relief. It plays well with the heavier gauge, but 11's for me is Les Paul territory  !

Indeed it is the same tech. Although another tech I spoke to yesterday suggested I stick with 11's on it for a few months until the neck pulls up. The neck has only been under tension for just over 3 weeks. Maybe it is time to contact Warmoth and send it back and asking for another neck ! Very...

I was told that it was a good sign, as over time when the neck adjusts to being under tension, then you have plenty of truss rod movement to play with ? I am just hoping that with time, it will settle in ( fingers crossed ).

Hey thanks for the reply. It is a vintage style neck with a nitro satin finish.

Hello Warmoth(ians);                                 Just need to get some advice on my my Warmoth Cabronita Telecaster. It's pretty much a stock purchase with a " boatneck " neck profile. I had it set up by my repairer, with 10's and it sounded great. He set the neck straight, as necks...
