I posted this, but apparently didn’t have notifications on and promptly forgot to check for comments. Nice. I appreciate the comments though. I’m still thinking about a thin oil finish just to get everything to pop, but maybe that’s mostly for the fretboard and the back gets burnished.

That headstock looks pretty good to me. For your next build, consider a coping saw. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-6-in-Coping-Saw-with-Wood-Handle-12228/204783720

It's a canary neck with a canary fretboard. It seems like an odd thing to have an unfinished neck, with the wood free to absorb grunge from one's hands - And that's with me being a little OCD about clean hands. I was thinking about either shellac or an oil varnish such as tru oil. But if I'm...

I posted images of a Jazzmaster (25.5") and Jaguar (24") superimposed in another thread recently, and they illustrate the difference in a Fender 25.5" body and 24" body. https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/warmoth-jaguar-jazz-master-bodies.39319/post-504869 If you look at the second image...

Well, the best solution would be to tell all your friends AND enemies to join this forum. More people means more ...people. In the forum. Buying and selling.

Is the fretboard extension resting on the pickguard? You definitely don’t want that to happen. You could consider shimming the neck or else getting shorter screws for the saddles as it looks a bit uncomfortable to rest your hand on the bridge. But that doesn’t have anything to do with action...

First thought: Email Warmoth customer service and see if they can do a 24-fret-pickguard reposition as an off-menu option. Plan B: If the Bridge pickup is going to be the same type as the neck pickup, and if you have a router: Make a pickup template from a piece of 1/2” MDF. Attach the...

I believe these images originated from the Offset Guitars forum. Both are examples of Fender bodies. The first has the bodies aligned, and the second has the neck pocket aligned. Red is the Jag, blue the Jazzmaster. I'm not sure if Warmoth bodies differ slightly from Fenders.

Why do bass guitars have four strings? The only need one string to go dudududududududu for four minutes.

You're probably fine with the side adjust. Your target is .2mm, or a smidgen less. It's not going to take much.

I've got a couple Freeway switches, and I can't remember what the 5 alternate positions do. I know a bunch of them are series, but as for which pickups? No idea. I tend to use the alternate position 1 a bit as I like the sound. I'm pretty sure it's Bridge in series, but I don't know if it's...

Nah, this is the real toilet seat: https://i0.wp.com/blog.music-man.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/header.jpg?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1

The Schaller Megaswitch M has the same 4-pole-5-throw capabilities of a super switch, but it’s much thinner. Thinner than a regular 5-way, really, it’s a PCB with solder pads and doesn’t have any tabs sticking out. I just installed one in a Tele, works great. You’ve got to be a bit more...

Looks like your straightedge is resting on the frets on the left side, but not on the right side? Is that a Gibson scale neck?
