    Strat neck on a Tele body

    I know it can work (https://warmoth.com/guitar-neck-fit), but curious if there are any potential issues to be aware of since it's not an exact fit. Thanks in advance for the collective wisdom!

    How many pieces is a roasted swamp ash body?

    Regular swamp ash has a 1-piece option but roasted swamp ash does not. Also didn't see any 1-piece roasted swamp ash bodies in stock. Is it possible to get one?

    Fully Roasted Strat, with Tru Oil Finish

    Looks awesome! May I ask how much tru oil you ended up using? I may do something similar and want to figure out how much tru oil to buy.

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    You think an unfinished body would really be ok? I'm tempted...

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    Yeah I'm leaning toward just getting a roasted swamp ash and then hitting it with a few coats of tru oil if necessary.

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    Makes sense. I guess the other obvious next question is - is it feasible to use an unfinished roasted ash/pine/alder body, or do those require a finish for some reason that doesn't apply to maple?

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    Why the difference in demand for roasted ash/pine/alder vs roasted maple? They do sell unroasted maple bodies. Good point about the in-house - I had assumed they roasted in house but it's probably not the case.

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    I'm not really sure. All I know if that roasted maple necks are supposedly similar in sound to regular maple necks, slightly lighter, do not require a finish, and indeed more rigid. I'm curious because it could be a pretty cheap way to get a decent body to spec. But mostly just want to...

    Why no roasted maple body option?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but roasted wood is supposed to retain the sonic properties of the unroasted wood. At least that's what Warmoth claims. [That being said, I also don't believe wood actually makes a significant difference in tone. Don't @ me.] It appears Warmoth charges $70 for...
