The Warmoth/suhr standard, 22 fret strat square contour neck is “fine” in terms of it not giving you a bruised up palm. I still find it “not ideal” but I wouldn’t turn down either as a gift. I dunno if I’d like one with 24 frets. These options are all a billion times better than a Les Paul

I was considering a PRS 24, and found them to be subtly infuriating. The heel joint itself is fine but the lower horn scoop thing doesn’t actually provide better access - when you slam your hand down there you want your pinky on the 24th fret, and it lands on the 23rd.

Sorry, let me clarify again. Your work is wonderful. I am picky and just kind of don't consider that style of neck joint sufficient, after trying a whole bunch of them. Is it way better than the blocky type? Certainly, but in a world where Ibanez AANJ or fender whatever they call it today has...

I think it's not just that being fender compatible is a core part of their business, I think it's also that making fender compatible parts is a core part of their staying in business. The moment they stray into *wink wink, nudge nudge* "We don't exactly make complete custom guitars with fender...

Yeah, I figured for brand reputation reasons that'd be the case. What's Warmoth's stance on once I get this right, if I made a "how to do this yourself OMG ALL WARRANTIES EXPLODE" tutorial? I suppose templates/plans is a no-no for a bunch of legal reasons, but a "Hey I did this" kind of thing...

So I am working on this. I got a soloist body on sale as my beater body (I will then do this on a strat I own, then order a nice soloist body). I know sharpy is a dumb marking choice... I am using the fender contour neck plate as a template (on the front since it is parallel to the body) and I...

Specs wise these are not my exact cup of tea, but impeccable workmanship and I really dig the contoured heel design *cough, please make a standard option, cough*

Oh. I had no idea of the previous history there. Good call.

Ah. Link!

Ok. After they sell out, can you leave the product pages up for their specs and such?

*refreshes website like a lab mouse trying to get cocaine*

I plan on doing this with a soloist soon, going the fender ultra heel route. I got a "scrap body" that I am going to test on, before I plan out how I am going to do this on a super nice body. I'll take photos after I do it.

Ivoroid, but abalone is better!

New site loaded for me. Fast, responsive. Custom builder for everything is great. I hope it drives up demand for some of the weird models for you guys. My only "complaint", and its a minor one at that, is that the site doesn't let me choose non-standard but reasonable options, like washed blue...

I'd buy a top routed soloist w/pickguard so freaking fast
