Thanks!  If anyone ever wanted to see what Warmoth's matte black pickguard looks like, this is it.  Also, here's a pic of the old neck. 

My tech even went as far as filing the intonation screws down so they wouldn't jab into the strings on this top loader bridge, leaving them still an appropriate length for intonation adjustments.

Oh yeah bud, it shreds!  Perfect guitar for heavy stuff  :party07: 

Nut slots have been filed by my tech, pickup finally arrived and got wired, and setup is complete! So we have a Fender Bullet Special body with: Roasted Maple Warmoth Neck Rosewood Fretboard Schaller Locking Tuners Bare Knuckle Pickup Warmoth Matte Black Pickguard It was a lot to put into a...

I agree, think it's a combination of both nut and intonation screws.  Getting nut slot adjustment next week and we're gonna try to find shorter intonation screws for now, if I can find screws just 1/8" shorter it might solve the problem.  The Kahler 2300 option is definitely an attractive one...

Hmm yes Kahler seems like a good workaround. Warmoth discontinued neon finishes including this style of orange which makes a body replacement less likely, it has to be this color and according to my wife it has to be this body.  Haha! Ok I'm gonna sit on this and We'll keep posting pics as...

Some of y'all have helped me with tips on this Frankensquire project, now fitted with a new Warmoth neck, Schaller tuners, and a BKP holy diver (which is totally sick by the way!). It's still a work in progress, new pickguard tomorrow and nut slots worked on by my guitar tech in about a week...

Awesome, thanks for pointing all this out!  I'm assuming the nut is aligned but this is my learning project so all the maintenance stuff is new to me.  Before this I would go to a tech for setups etc.  I'll try what you've suggested with my wife's help, she's the handy one around here...  I...

CAE 404 wah came in today.  This is the one!  It's perfect for me.  The dual inductor feature is awesome.  The boost sounds great.  Lights on the side for everything so you know what's on, unlike my previous pedal which had zero lights.  The ability to dial this thing in makes it just right for...

String trees installed today, neck bolted on, and got a replacement of the stock Squire bridge on here. May need to replace those Squire saddles but we'll give it some time to see if it needs done.  Now I've got to learn three very basic skills, making sure the neck is straight and adjusting...

I did get a Compressor that I like (see pic), I have nothing to compare it to because it's the only one I've ever had but I almost always have it on when my board is plugged into the amp.  I think it sounds good 😎 Found a great deal on the CAE 404 wah, and it sounds like you can easily dial...

Searching for the perfect Wah!  Tell me your favorites and why you like them? I had a Teese RMC 10 for a few years but sold it, finally deciding I'm looking for something a little different. I've had troubles getting wah to sound good, and it's almost to the point I could see myself not using...

If I have to use the existing bridge saddles, it's not the end of the world.  But I measured my current saddles and they are almost exactly the same mm measurement as what GraphTech gives for theirs.  I'll give them a call on Monday and ask them about it, along with finding out their return...

Hey there! I'll have to call GraphTech about this to ask them, perhaps someone on here might know too? I have to use this bridge plate (see photo) on my Squire/Warmoth upgrade, but the saddles that come with it are low quality, would like to upgrade to graphtech saddles.  (See link)...

Thanks!  I'll have to see how it feels when I string them up.  The only difference I noticed so far was the white S logo, the old Schallers on my first Warmoth have black S's on the black hardware...
