I tried the magnet trick, but didn't seem to work, possibly because the magnet I used wasn't strong enough. The wear is definitely not because I play that guitar more than the rest and like Cagey, my 2 other stainless steel fretted necks show negligible signs of wear. They are both 6105s as well.

The frets on one of my Warmoth necks, ordered and delivered as Stainless Steel 6105s are wearing quite badly, whereas other necks I have with SS frets show virtually no sign of wear. I suspect that the frets are in fact nickel/silver as they are wearing virtually the same as a neck I have that...

That's a very good thought dNA, but no, I don't wear a wedding ring, so that's not the cause.

Thanks Cagey, given me some things to think about. I'm very careful with buckles etc and with the strap. However, I do stand up a lot to play and use a microphone stand, so I wonder whether I'm snagging this somehow. I will have to watch out on future jams.

I'm totally mystified and wonder whether anyone can offer an explanation. I look after my guitars meticulously, some are wall hung, the others in a good quality floor rack. When I transport them I put them in quality hard cases. However, despite all my care, on virtually all my electrics, very...

I thought that for my VIP project, I would need 2 short flat plastic rings. However, from the photos that are posted of a VIP in Just Out of the Box/ VIP arrived, it appears as though agent317 used a tall ring at the bridge position and a short ring at the neck position. I have no experience of...

Thanks for the replies. Must say, I always feel a bit intimidated checking out gear at the local shop by all the very talented young shredders there! Jack, I think the Dave Navarro has HFS Treble and Vintage Bass PUPs, though the switching would be identical to what I want. I'd need to try a...

I'm thinking of using PRS Dragon 2s for a VIP project, using 3 way switch and push/push coil split. Do any of you have experience of these pickups and how they compare with Seymour Duncan's best? Would be grateful for any info/ideas.

Thanks for that Jack, that's a relief. Hope the neck arrives today and you have a great weekend putting your axe together.

I'm getting ready for a Warmoth VIP project. I want to have the PRS control layout and want to use a Warmoth push/push pot to access coil tapping. The only problem is, I understand that the thread lengths of the Warmoth pots are a bit short and I might have to cut some wood away inside the...
