So far I am really happy with it. Open chords are so much easier now. Honestly, I think I would like the superwide standard thin as well but I have never played one. Sorry, I am not much of a photographer.

So I purchased the superwide fatback and finally installed it. It is perfect for my large hands. I can now play an open C and A chord without muting strings. The fat back fits my hand perfectly, especially playing open chords.

FOLLOW UP: I could not get the Warmoth neck holes to line up perfectly with my 1992 Squier strat body. I was done messing with the neck pocket and I did not want to risk damaging my Warmoth neck. So, I put my old neck back on and bought a new fender pickguard. BTW only 3 of 11 holes lined up...

25.5" scale length with both necks. The old neck was more rounded so the corners of the new neck prevented it from fitting all the way back into the pocket. I trimmed some wood from both back corners but not the center. The new neck hits the same spot on the center of the back of the pocket...

I was successful removing a little wood in the far back of pocket so the neck now fits. So now I am off to the big box store to buy a dremel blade to cut the pickguard. Honestly, I don't care that much about the asthetics of the squier body and pickguard. I hope to one day put the warmoth...

The pocket is 11/16" deep. And the pocket is more curved than my warmoth neck so the holes do not line up. It is a 1992 fender squire made in Korea. I am wondering it is worth trying to work on the pocket or just go buy a different used squier strat.

So I just got my Warmoth strat neck and want to install on my squier strat. It appears that I will need to trim the pickguard because of the fretboard overhang resulting from the 22 fret design. My original neck has 21 frets. Is this usually necessary? What is the best way to trim the pickguard?

Thanks for the insights.

Corian vs. graphtech? Standard vs. Earvana? I am about to pull the trigger on a Warmoth strat neck. Any recommendations on the nut? I am baffled by too many choices. My first thought was to order a standard corian but then I thought I would ask the collective...

I just started learning to play the guitar. I am currently playing a stratocaster. I have very large hands - 2XL gloves are on the small side. I would like to replace my neck with a warmoth superwide. My initial thought was a fatback neck profile. Has anybody done this and is willing to...
