    Back Bow Problem

    I had exactly the same:- https://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=32190.0 Send it back and let them fix it or replace it if you don't have the right gear to do it yourself. I suspect this may be a more common problem than most people realise. The backbow in mine was just about right...

    Significant backbow on a new Tele neck

    Just a note to say all sorted now - Warmoth customer service were very good. Sent the neck back to them, they took a look and emailed me to say yeah it's not good. But the good news is it was fixable (which was great as I'd already applied a finish to the neck and was really happy how it came...

    Significant backbow on a new Tele neck

    Thanks guys. Yes, it's a hard finish and nitro on nitro. I just put a couple of amber coats on because it was literally bright orange. Sounds like actually that won't be a problem warranty wise. Actually, reading the docs Warmoth do say the warranty is void if you *don't* apply a finish...

    Significant backbow on a new Tele neck

    Hi all, new member here :) I received my Tele neck last week from Warmoth - vintage style, 7.25" radius rosewood on Maple. I ordered it with a vintage nitro tint which unfortunately is quite a bright orange. I have now gone over that with a nitro tabacco and it's warmed it up and now looks...
