Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. My 6150's came out a little pointy and I see in another's picture that his are the same. I'm sure the intonation is superior with a little peak but it not like the reference graphics under fret options.

Obviously I got the 6115 shape more than the 6150 shape & that's the whole point of my post my guy

I can see in your photos yours are shaped like my Warmoth neck. This is a big help because it confirms the Warmoth frets come to a more narrow peak and my MIM Fender frets are more rounded. Good to know. Thanks!

It seems like they accidentally gave me 6115 peaked frets. Just wondering if your 6150 look like my first photo. The 6105 would be more narrow hmmmm

I ordered a Warmoth neck with SS6150 frets and enjoy it but the frets didn't feel anything like my MIM Strat necks that I have. So this morning I measured the width of the frets and and they were pretty much the same. So then I took an up cloase profile picture of the fret and saw that the...

Beautiful

Yer right, it is just plastic.

Thanks for the recommendations. I went to GuitarCenter really to see what pickups they had that might fit but ended up getting into an extended conversation witht he tech. I at least want to do the solderling and learn how to do that. I can contact Warmoth and ask for some pickup ideas. :unsure:

I play classic rock, pop, 80s new wave stuff...the best pickups I have heard for soloing were burst buckers on a Flying V but no idea how they sound for chordy stuff....I just learned today about F(fender) spacing for traditional humbuckers.

I just went to Guitar Center. The tech guy there recommened Dimarzio as the best bet to fit. The musiclily & artec pickups I have do no fit. He also said filing might fray the plastic and look sloppy. So many details to learn. :-)

Okay. Thanks.

Who knows about the sizes of cheap humbuckers. Perhaps I can file down the pickguard.

Even if you chose the covered pickguard option(the one with squared corners) for a custom Warmoth pickguard will the pickup still seem like a super tight fit? Too tight? This is what I chose and my cheap covered humbucker (which I am returning for other reasons) did not seem to fit but I didnt...
