My Warmoth Superwide fits a standard neck pocket in a standard body, but the heel is rather ridiculous mounted that way. I'm hoping to reshape it some, as IMHO it looks terrible. Grade of D- on the heel design, or not providing some different spec for the body to fit. This was a new build...

(bringing thread back from the dead)
I tried the "Big Lou"
It arrived missing the truss rod. But worse, the fret were not straight, not parallel. They were cocked randomly, obviously the fret slots in the fingerboard were hand-cut without any kind of guide! Fortunately, the refund and apology...
