You know, I haven't checked in in awhile. A couple of years ago I got a Warhead neck with 24 frets scalloped (the last 2 were not scalloped probably due to the fragility of the thin wood). I will play with the builder some more. Thanks for your help.

Im on the custom builder for a warhead style neck and i don't see any option for scalloping

I really dig the scalloped fingerboard. Comfy, more control, and of course let's not forget shaving off just that little bit extra weight which can make a difference. But I get lost sometimes, especially in low lighting, and especially with 24 frets!..coz no inlays! Is it at all possible to...

Late to the party again, but throwing my hat in anyways (for previous posts)...Cause I like all of these!  :icon_thumright: er...maybe not so much the cookkoo goofy strat...but then again...if they threw in the Hendrix pickups, that might make tie it all together...

This fully scalloped board with 24 frets is Pau Ferro. This particular piece is noticeably lighter than some pieces I have seen with dark streaks I'm them (no dark streaks in this one). It looks like light milk chocolate (with the slightest dust covering) and I was wondering if it would be...

Last Warmoth build was your basic strat but with a 24 fret extension on the neck. Love the extra frets, but wish I had just a little deeper cutaway to grab those bends easier. Even 1/2 " could work wonders, and I have somewhat large/long fingers Also....love those 24 frets but also wish for a...

My last strat build came out great! Thank you Warmoth team!  :icon_thumright:

No troll. I may be late to the party but these questions are not far from home and they are timely in my world Gold is a metal right? Black is a color? that potentially adulterates the original metal and potentially adds artificial friction/resistance to resonance?

Great thread and timely posting! Thanks to Stratamania and the guys at W for steering me straight with my recent purchase. 2 Questions: Black vs gold? Besides the obvious aesthetic, is there a noticeable difference in tone or sustain? Sustain blocks? Stone Tone etc. A noticeable...

Sad to lose such a supporting member of such an iconic blues rock band.  :sad: I've seen ZZ Top 2 or 3 times and have enjoyed their tunes, the precision of their musicianship and also that treadmill was a hoot  :) My moniker also had nothing to do with Mr. Hill when I created it and it is...

I think it would pay big dividends to put a "BUILD CUSTOM" button right at the top center of the home page (to the right of the phone number and above pickguards). There is a perfect space for it and the idea would be to capture the broad-minded and narrow them down into the specifics of...

Where I come from, dogs are good.

Thanks for the advice. Tuning stability is of the utmost importance. The plan is  to go: Warhead headstock Gibson conversion (24.75") The body was already routed for the VS100. My Luthier likes to use the bar across the headstock instead of string trees. Will I be okay with Planet Waves...

Would appreciate your experiences regarding the tuning stability of the Wilkinson VS100 with the 3+3 Warmoth headstock w/Graphtech TUSQ nut. The body I have is routed for the Wilky and I'm down with the Warmoth aesthetic, but I absolutely need tuning stability. Thanks!

Thinking about the extra attention to artistic detail inspires me and keeps me coming back  :icon_thumright:
