    Fender LSR Nut Screws - Source?

    I have been on a search for good replacement LSR screws for years now. The closest I've found are #1 wood screws of 1/2" length. These seem to be okay: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/highpoint-solid-brass-screws-flat-head-25-piece The heads do not sit perfectly down in the screw head...

    You guys didn't even post the best one.

    Gold Fret Wire?

    Thank you, we'll have that corrected. We have about enough to complete existing orders so any errant extras flowing through would be problematic.

    Gold Fret Wire?

    Is this screenshot very recent? This should no longer be selectable on any builders or showcase items.

    Guyker Hardware. What’s the consensus?

    The most astoundingly bad tuners I have ever used in my life were Guykers.

    Would 2 x Gotoh BB-02 Battery boxes fit a double route?

    We do normally sell the Gotoh BB-04W, but are currently out of stock. I'm hopeful we'll have them in about a month or so (no guarantees).

    Pickup Pole Spacing

    This is not accurate. It's not tremolo vs non-tremolo, it's wide string saddle spacing vs narrow. Warmoth's vintage-spaced Strat flat mount bridge, for example, would be better served with a trembucker or F-spaced humbucker because it's very wide; the string spacing at the saddles being ~56mm...

    Luminlay Side Dots

    Standard white/black side dots are 2mm diameter while the Luminlay is 3mm outer + 2mm inner diameter. And Moon Glow is 3mm, for completionists.

    Limited run of Flamed....Spalted.....Acrylic Infused....Strat® replacement bodies!

    Pretty sure the acrylic/color process on the tops was done by a third-party, so I don't think we'll have much info for you there, I'm afraid. That said, acrylic guitars have been around for decades, have they not? Sometimes under the name 'Lucite'?

    Neck decoding help

    VIP48 would have been the original Showcase ID code. Doesn't really relate to any specs other than that it's a VIP body. 4.13 means 4 lbs 13 oz if it's older than, like, 2-3 years ago? I think? At some point I believe we changed it to be straight-up 4.13 lbs, which is why you'll see bodies with...

    Any way to ballpark a year on this Warmoth neck?

    In that case, especially with the slotted nut, I'd concur that it's unlikely to be any more recent than the early '00s.

    Any way to ballpark a year on this Warmoth neck?

    Hard to say without more pics, and even then, it could still be just an approximation. Is it a tiltback? Is it left-handed? Is it a gibson/baritone conversion neck? Is the bottom adjustment nut hex or a Phillips? There are several reasons it may or may not have a side-adjust and would have a...

    Will other brands of roller pot mounting plates fit a Warmoth Jazzmaster?

    The Jazzmaster roller mounting bracket Warmoth sells is Fender part 005-4454-049, however, we re-drill the holes here on-site to accommodate more conventionally available 1/4" pots.

    New video: Luminlay side dots now a standard option!

    The Luminlay side dots are about the same size as the oversized Moon Glow ones, so no, I don't believe they can be done on scalloped necks. There's just not enough room.

    Warmoth 22 fret or 24 fret Body Compatibility?

    The amount a space under the 24-fret extension of the Warhead neck was hilarious. The internet would have you believe that guitar had zero tone.
