Tough crowd! No one wants a chambered 5-string? The website says chambered in the description for several 5-string bass bodies but it's not in the drop down for construction. I emailed them and they said the mistake is in the descriptions, sadly.

Sounds like you want a good ol' Kahler. 😋 Warmoth does a kahler rout but in my own failed experience their guitars just don't accommodate it. You need a THICK shim to get proper saddle height and even then just barely. The wackiest stuff I've seen is Sophia. Wacky in a good way. Kahler and ABM...

Bump Would love to see Warmoth get in the headless game. Since owning an Ibanez headless bass I'm spoiled. It's an objectively and empirically superior design from a tuning stability standpoint. Plus lightens the load AND improves balance.

You might consider having Warmoth do a Floyd Rose shelf so you can use either locking nut or Graphtech's Unlock nut. If you already have the neck and it's not that, a regular nut will be fine. You'll just have to tweak the tuning more frequently. It won't ruin songs though.

Black Sound-loks gone. Gonna hold onto the chrome ones for now. Been pondering a Warmoth 7-string...

Trim-loks gone. Sound-loks still available.

All are reversible so they can accommodate any headstock config. All bushings and washers included. 6 Sperzel Trim-loks in black, excellent condition except a small finish chip on one of the back knobs in the middle (last pic) 6 Sperzel open back Sound-loks in black, excellent condition 7...

+1 for nickel. Just google guitar nickel tuners. Allparts has nickel Gotohs. Hipshot does nickel hardware too.

Motherbucker is such a great name.

Any brave souls take one on? My questions: is the headstock tiltback? is the string pull over the nut straight? how was shaping your own headstock? pics welcome! Only reason I'm considering it is because their normal 7-string doesn't have straight pull over the nut and I want to use a trem...

Upper fret access needs to be paramount. The current 7/8 S comes up short. A 7/8 Dinky is in order. Interestingly Jackson used to make a Gibson scale super strat they called Fusion that similarly had suboptimal upper fret access. You can find pics. They tried to mediate it with a bevel--which...

That's sleek. But how did you pair the mustang neck with the 7/8 strat body? Did they custom rout the bridge and pickup for the 24" scale?

Their specs are typically 12-16" compound radius. But their Floyd-equipped guitars come with the R3 nut which is 10". Out of curiosity I tried a 12" radius locking nut (1000 series R3) and it did NOT work. The low and high strings were too high, middle strings too low. I also tried the R4 nut...
