As I wrote I was thinking about a straight 12" radius fretboard. In case I could consider 11". I'm not sure if 10" is still comfortable for me.

I have found conflicting information about the R3 locking nut, and I'm interested in it and in a new neck that I could use to build a headless guitar. The Floyd Rose website https://floydrose.com/products/original-locking-nut?variant=30510945234 states that R3 locking nut is for 12" neck radius...

Thank you very much, Updown! It was very kind of you, and helpful.

Hello I'm interested in the 2tek bridge for a new Telecaster I'd like to build, but I'm worried about its weight, because I'd like a light guitar. And I'm even more worried because I can't find any information about its weight anywhere... A typical modern Tele bridge, including the pickup...

Hello I'm interested in the inexpensive staggered locking tuners (Gotoh style) from Guitar Fetish. Do you have any experience with them? Which is the correct drilling option in the Warmoth list (maybe Sperzel 25/64" because it's closer to 10 mm, even if slightly smaller)? Are they difficult to...

Hello do you know if I can find the information about the actual size of each pickup routing offered by Warmoth? And do you know at least what is the size difference (if any!) between the standard humbucker and the wood mounted version? Thanks!

I'd like to know if the choice of the neck wood has a lot of impact on the neck weight. My plan is about a light guitar (the bodies I'm looking at the showcase are about 3 lbs) and with a good balance. I'd like the bloodwood neck (+ PauFerro fretboard) but I'm afraid that its weight can be...

I like the Velocity body and also the 7/8 Tele. I thought that the Velocity were rather big (and I don't like it), but looking at the (light) weight of the available bodies I was confused. Since I can't find any information about the size of each body (or is there somewhere?) I tried to compare...

Hello Jason Just a different information after my experience with an ebony fretboard: I love its feeling, and it's great even when I sweat a lot... But consider that rosewood neck + ebony fretboard is probably a harmonic killer. If you like harmonics, you should consider a slithly "brighter"...

Thanks Tony for your feedback. Well, my plan is a 7/8 mahogany Tele solid body, with a bloodwood neck/pauferro fretboard, fixed bridge. I'd like to use this guitar for a wide range of music, from pop to hard rock. Not interested in any real copy of tone (not to mention my technique!) even if I...

Hello For a project I'm planning, I'd love to use the GFS Retrotron pickups, because... I love their look, and the price too. Music style: pop, country, rock, hard rock, some fusion. No metal. In the beginning I thought to use the Dimarzio Paf 36th Anniversay bridge and the Humbucker from Hell...

I'm planning a 7/8 Tele body with its specific Warhead neck (24"-3/4 scale). Do you know if the 24 frets neck (of this type) has the frets extended over the neck lenght? That is: do I need to ask the relocation of the neck pickup for the extended frets? And what about the access to the higher...

Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions! You were very kind. About the pickups: my idea is the Liverpool bridge and the mini-Nashville neck. I know they are not Filtertron tone type. I'd like a kind of tone closer to P90/single coil/Paf (and no hum). I think they can be a good...

Just a little suggestion: when you assemble the pickup if you see that you can't align perfectly the strings, focus on the higher strings. The bottom strings are less important, because of their bigger movement/sound they are less sensitive to the precision  of the alignment

A pink guitar is running through my mind. And a Tele body is my favorite design. I tried to assemble something with... Photoshop. Do you think it's really that bad? After trying many pickguards specially (shapes and colors), I think I have found my sweet lady. Some details: the original Warmoth...
