Thanks. I think I'll call Warmoth tomorrow to inquire about maybe the Schaller mini locking ones instead. I clicked the question mark during option selection and didn't realize I could scroll down and see other options past the Gotoh's. I'll get someone on the phone to be safe. Thanks again!

I think it would be these, correct? Just not sure if I need the right or the left since it's right handed reverse? https://www.warmoth.com/Gotoh-Vintage-6-In-Line-Tuner-Set-C728.aspx

From all I see I'm good to go with this particular body / neck combo. Just wondering if anyone can spot any issues I don't see. Wouldn't be the first time. :) Thanks!

Oddly enough, about an hour after I posted this question - I just realized the very same thing. I'll revisit a custom built someday when it's something way out of the box. But I have a tribute band getting off the ground more quickly than I thought it would.  We have media and promo to be...

the body need to select 24 fret in neck pickup if you have 24 fret . Thank you! https://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/FretboardExtensions.aspx any reason for 720 mod in neck pockets? if not select standard start pockets . My understanding is the 720 mod allows more access for upper fret...

OK, since my last attempt was a fail, I think I'll have the whole thing built by Warmoth to be safe. Please list any incompatibilities that you find here, and much appreciated. Most notably anything with the neck not being compatible with the body. AGAIN.  :laughing7:

And this is why I came here first. I'll run your message by the set up guy and reconsider. Thanks. Still welcome all other observations!

Hey everyone! Could I ask you all to; [list type=decimal] First, evaluate my neck for any discrepancies that I may have overlooked selecting my options Then look at the body I'm buying to make sure they are compatible, specifically the neck fit lining up with the neck pocket on the body [/list]...

Hi everyone. I'm about to pull the trigger on a custom build for a new band I'm joining. The 2nd set of all of our shows will be 80's rock themed and as I've mentioned in a couple of other threads, my guitar build will be super Sunset Strip Shred oriented. The warning on the site states in...

Excellent points. I guess in my mind, I was thinking of some of the stretchier chords or scale runs... where my pinky is almost just not quite hitting the note hard enough, or not pressing down solidly causing a little bit of the note to "fret out" I was worried that taller frets would make me...

Hi everyone! My Strat build is going to be geared towards the 80's portion of my band's sets. It's basically going to be a Wizard Neck profile, 24 fret, low string action, built for speed, etc. I'm not really a hardware guru so my question is, it seems in my mind smaller frets (I have pretty...

Hi everyone! It's been years since my last custom build, but here goes another! I'm not much on experience with technical savvy while building a guitar. I'm buying the parts and having a tech assemble it for me. That said - does Warmoth have a quality control feature to let me know if the...

Got mine today as well. Freakin' incredible. Thanks, man! 

Hell yes!!! :headbang1:

What strap makers do you all recommend for variety of cool looking straps, but most importantly - Comfort Don't take a year to break in and get soft and comfy Nothing worse than a strap that feels like it's slicing into your neck for months and is impossible to get over strap knobs. Discuss!
