    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.

    Warmoth 22 fret or 24 fret Body Compatibility?

    To clarify further: the RG560 body I used had a neck pocket area pretty much identical to the one in the picture I've attached. You can see the extra space between the neck pocket and the neck pickup, which is very similar to what you get when you select the 24-fret Reposition option on a...

    Warmoth 22 fret or 24 fret Body Compatibility?

    I successfully used one of our 24-fret Warhead necks on--what I believe--was a late '80s RG560 body. Its original neck had the long fretboard overhang, but the neck pocket seemed to be 2-1/4" wide, so there was a tiny gap on either side of the neck. Despite that, it worked perfectly fine, was...

    Gotoh 12-string bridge compatibility with other bridge "routes"

    Correct. Not only are the string holes are staggered, the space between even the closest string holes and the 3 rear mounting holes is larger than 6-string Strat flatmounts. Compare: https://warmoth.com/media/wysiwyg/bridge-rout-vintage-strat-flatmount.jpg...

    Schaller 3D-6/475 fixed roller bridge question

    If you buy a 475 from Warmoth, it should include the spacer. I don't think it's 100% necessary for most flat-top/Strat-like bodies but every build is unique. I always assumed it was there for use with tune-o-matics or top-mount Floyds, but I haven't installed one personally. If you buy a 475...

    Aaron! New video series idea…

    Let's just send Davie504 some bass parts. He has a massive 13 million subscribers, somehow almost exclusively playing bass. (I'm only half joking about sending him some parts, I kinda think we should consider it)

    Help me figure out how to make my options work

    The only 24.75"-scale neck with 24 frets that I'm aware of is the 7/8 Warhead. Now, I have heard tales of other headstocks being used for 7/8 necks, and I've also heard tales of various bodies being routed for 7/8 bridge and pickup locations. . . But the possibility of any such Abstract Wizardry...

    Difference between the “Pearloid” & “White Pearl” Pickguard

    The White Pearl material is closer to a bright white, but the pearloid top layer does cause a slight color shift: Pearloid Solid is significantly darker:

    Tuner ream for Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners?

    I used the Gotoh/Grover ream with a set "magnum lock trad" Gotoh tuners I bought from StewMac and they fit perfectly.
