Thank you Cagey...I always get nervous when I need to make a tr adjustment. I have the Warmoth Pro neck, so at least that will make it easier. Thanks for the advice.

Hey lads... I have a problem I want to run by you... Im trying to set up my neck and body (Fender) My strings still buzz on the fretboard even though the saddles are has high as they will go. Would I be correct in thinking a shim?.....if so, what would I use as a shim and where would I place...

Vintage Tone = low to mid output pups...All tube amp...touch & technique.

Theres nothing to forgive...Its all good. I was upset and venting. Im glad there is a place for us to let off steam. In the big picture, if this is the biggest problem in my life then im not doing too bad.

Eddies best tone was on the first VH album.....It sounded too manufactured after that.

......Its all good...speak your mind! lol!....I am aware that there are differences in Fender bodies...I know that American made Fenders are a few mm's thicker than a Japanese made Fender for example, but what I havent mentioned is that I asked in an e-mail on the day of purchase these two...

Gregg.... Thank you for your input into this thread. But, dont you think there should be a section at least explaining to potential buyers that there are some differences to the body then you wouldnt expect from a typical Fender? I mean one of the reasons I chose Warmoth is because they are...

I was told today by Warmoth that they route the tremolo cavity deeper then Fender. BINGO! Why is this not posted anywhere on the site? I could have taken measures to avoid this whole situation. Im sorry to vents lads, but I like things neat and tidy. Having six screw tips looking at me every...

I know all of this...thats why the base plate is cut on a slight wedge angle. Im 46 and know a few things about guitars. Bottom line.... If, as Warmoth states these are Fender compatable bodies the vintage trem screws should NOT..Ill repeat that..NOT come through into the trem cavity. If thats...

I drove the screws in untill they hit the bridge plate.....you know, where they are suppose to rest! I mean really...do you know anything at all about a vintage tremolo? Should I leave the screw heads sticking up 1/4' off the plate?......dont insult my intelligence.

100% of the money I sent to Warmoth is good. If these bodies (as claimed) are licensed by Fender, then they should be up to Fenders standards. I have never seen a real Fender body with six screws poking through the back. And, if all Warmoths Fender bodies are the same, then every body with the...

These bodies are licenced by Fender.....I have owned alot of Fenders in my time and not one had the screws come through the back.

Ill be fair and give them a chance to make it right. I do understand mistakes happen and will be the first one on here to praise their customer service if all goes well, but MAN is that a piss off!

At long last I got around to starting my Strat project....( Strat Alder Body) I was stopped dead in my tracks after five minutes!! The six vintage trem screws popped through into the tremolo cavity! WTF?? Im using Fender hardware off of my Mayer Strat, and theres no way in Hell that those...

Best single coil pups I have ever used are Stephensdesign Texas '59 set. I wanted into the SRV realm, but the Texas Specials from Fender (while nice pickups) left me wanting more....Now I find it much easier to get into a Stevie groove....Im not saying I can play like him but I do get into a...
