Have you at least eaten the candy Sweetwater put in the box with it?

I heard this song on the radio and tracked it down online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1So86V5A_cU Could anyone here help me out with the tabs?

Soooooooooooul Train!

I don't think Tonar ever used "vintage" as an adjective, like the cheaper Fenders and Squires do. 1959 was the vintage, or year, he was trying to replicate, and those with the rosewood fretboards didn't have skunk-stripes. It's pretty accurate aside from the little pickguard notch for the...

Nice Tele! :icon_thumright: 7/8th the body. All the awesome. I too prefer the wider necks for fingerstylin'. It wouldn't hurt to call or email Warmoth and ask if they can make you a custom neck for that body with a wide nut.

That's exactly what it looks like they've done here, stubs. They don't slice all the way across the ebony when slotting for the frets, as if the fretboard had binding around it. Then, they clip the fret tangs at the end before installation.

Also on the Fender JR neck, the side dots are halfway between the maple neck and ebony fretboard. A Warmoth neck will have visible fret tangs, and the side dots will only be on the fretboard.

The fret tangs on the Jim Root neck are not visible.

You sure are an expert on guitars.

Tool up Warmoth, the public has spoken. I expect to see 25" conversion necks in the next newsletter.

That's a good looking piece of job.

You'll also need a plate to cover the stoptail stud bushings. Which, incidentally, you can also use to showcase the fact that this is no ordinary instrument, but in fact, one that is custom made.
