So since this is a "general feel" neck thread - I have to ask. What other production neck would you compare the DC to? Are we talking 17mm Wizard I S540 thin, or something else?

^This x10 (or more)

Close but not quite. 12-16" is common among Charvel, Charvel by Jackson, Jackson, Grover Jackson and every other variant of the two I can't think of. Own a few modern builds - all 12-16 - and been looking at a lot of 80s/90s Charvel/Jackson recently in my indecision of "should I build a 7/8...

Hmmm is right. I believe Fender uses 17.818 - so I would imagine Warmoth does that given the Fender licensing, etc... but the conversion necks say "Gibson scale conversion" and Gibson typically uses rule of 18 right? So is it literally just the "Gibson scale" or do they go with rule of 18 on...

They have two different ones, the E and G - both 24.75" so that's what I'm trying to figure out. I can always wait until they come, I'm just being the impatient kid on Christmas Eve.

1) Carved top Velocity body + warmoth conversion neck - wizard/straight 16" 2) Mahogany strat body + hombre conversion with compound 12-16" - "Fen Paul" The bodies and hombre were in the showcase, I had the warmoth neck built to spec with a "unique choice" ebony fingerboard.

I watched the showcase for a while and saw a fair amount of roll-over but no real pattern to what lasts and what doesn't. I finally saw a neck with the specs I wanted - wizard, straight 16" - and it was a screamin deal, so I immediately put it in my cart along with the body I had been...

I'll preface this by saying I thoroughly dislike anything with a fixed radius or where I have to cut bridge saddle so I'm biased. My TOM style guitars play and sound great, but there's a different level of patience and skill involved in setting them up that I didn't ever want to have to achieve...

TLDR : Has anyone used the music nomad, or a similar "full" shield for fret work on Warmoth 24.75's? If you used the Music Nomad, did you use the "G" or the "E" version? Should be seeing my first two Warmoth necks and bodies in the next month or so here... super excited for all of it and I...
