    Warmoth scalloping

    Thanks guys. Just out of curiosity, would it even matter if it wasn't?

    Warmoth scalloping

    Hi guys. Does anyone of you know if Warmoths scalloping follows the radius of the fretboard or is the scalloping "flat"? Does it take the radius into concern or not? Thanks.

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    Yeah, I get what you are saying. The thing is that I live in Europe, if I lived in the USA I would have placed an order. Then if things went south, it would have been a lot easier to deal with them, wouldn't have been so expensive either.

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    The Gear Page, TDPI forum and so on. Seen a couple of threads where people are talking about back bows, necks warping after some time, non functioning truss rods, horrible fret work, their fret guy of 13 years got the boot (he has an account on the TDPI forum and said it all), blatantly...

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    Oh this has nothing to do with the Malmsteen neck, I'm just trying to learn more about the options that Warmoth offers before I order anything. It looks like Warmoth is the place to go these days, seems like Musikraft has thrown QC down the drain the last 2 years.

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    Yeah, that's my point. The construction decides the spacing, and if you are looking for a vintage CBS spacing and choose the vintage CBS construction, you won't get the narrow spacing but a wide spacing which isn't vintage correct to the CBS. That's what I wanted to find out and now I know...

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    Yeah, but that's a vintage/modern in your image, not a vintage one.

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    I looked at the showcase and found one vintage and vintage/modern CBS. The vintage has the pre CBS wide spacing, so they are routing a pre CBS vintage neck and then just put a large headstock on it and call it a vintage CBS neck.

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    Sure there is. Look at the spacing between the vintage and the modern/vintage and modern in this video. The vintage construction has the wide spacing while the others have the narrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6XXcDiPcKc&ab_channel=WarmothGuitarProducts So I am wondering if this is the...

    Warmoth vintage CBS 12th dot spacing

    My apologies if I am in the wrong section of the forum asking this question. I have a question concerning Warmoths vintage CBS necks (not modern vintage) and the spacing of the 12th dots. A Vintage CBS neck has the 12th dots spaced narrowly, (post 1964 spacing, no CBS headstocks before 1966)...

    Finishing guitar neck advice

    How could I leave out such important info? Must be going senile. It's a one piece maple neck.

    Finishing guitar neck advice

    Hey guys. I'm about to finish my first guitar neck and could need some advice from you fellas who are a lot more knowledgeable than me. The plan is as follows. Edit: It's a one piece maple neck. 1. Use a clear gloss lacquer as a sealer, not sure how many times I should spray it though, I'm...

    How true is Warmoth to Vintage specs?

    Considering their Vintage Stratocaster necks (not the CBS or modern/vintage necks), how well do they follow the vintage aesthetics? As far as I have understood it, vintage (pre 1964) necks had their side inlay dots centered on the seam of the fretboard and shaft instead of having them dead...

    Warmoth and scalloping logic?

    Also, on a similar tangent. When you look at the CBS vintage choices, you can't choose the right spacing holes for the vintage F-series Schaller tuners (as discussed in another thread of mine) like Musikraft does, F-series Schaller tuners are "the vintage tuners" of CBS headstocks. Why do they...

    What tuner hole size for these bad boys?

    You are like a living encyclopedia when it comes to Strats. Thanks a lot for your help.
