I used them on my Strat int he late 90s after recommendation of my luthier, he thought they would have become the next big thing. Unfortunately they did not, I remember few Jacksons using them back then, now they are completely forgotten.

Dave Murray´s number 1 is the black Strat, 1957 neck , 1963 body, that is 1 5/8". That guitar does not have a FR but in the 80s he used several vintage Strats that were retrofitted with FR, therefore they had R2s. Adrian´s smith original Jacksons from Somewhere in Time were patterned after a...

You are correct...they started with the Wilkinson nut and then in the early 90s they switched to LSR...I know as a fact as my Warmoth scalloped neck I bought many years ago was cut for that nut. I use the tremolo a lot and I can say the combo Sperzel(Schaller) + LSR (Wilkinson) nut + American...

The guy in your avatar uses and R2 nut with a 1 and 5/8" width neck. Also Adrian plays the same configuration...and Van Halen used it too.

Yes, Schaller and Sperzel were introduced in the Strat Plus back in the 80s and those guitars never had strings trees, that is also another reason why they remain in tune well.

No problem wuth the R2...I also have a Kramer Pro-axe with a R1 nut. It takes time to get used but it's well playable.

You cannot go wrong with a pair of double cream Dimarzio, having said that IMO it would benefit by a gold bridge and neck plate.

I perfectly understand it might take time to update the configurator, no issue. For Sandwich I meant a body with two layers of different wood (no lamination). Finally, I understand carved tops are expensive but on the other side Warmoth is the only one who offers these products, everybody can...

Yes, I also asked and unfortunately it is not feasible besides with 7/8 construction. My problem is that there is no archetop 7/8 body currently offered...the blanket is always too short for me. :S

In the configurator there are few options to get 3A and 5A flamed and quilted maple tops, then it is mentioned quilt and flamed DL top, so my understanding was they were still offering tops without veneers. Also, it is not clear to me if it is possible to order a sandwiched body with some back...

Nice...just for the veneers or also for full carved tops?

Interesting, I lived in Italy for many years and as a matter of fact I received the Warmoth neck for my Strat back in Italy, with USPS it was delivered , no big issues. It also depends by where you live in Italiy, I assume. However, I might have found a ready neck in the showroom, I was just...

It depends...if the cover is recessed like in a Jackson then I leave it one, if it´s not I remove it.

Mint green or white.
