Okay Nacho Well that is a pity, since you have first hand experience on this matter, we will defer to you. The Baretta special you're referring to is the recent Indonesia made one correct?

Hey Mr. Dough You want a Kramer Baretta style body? Buy a Kramer Baretta special, the cheap one from indonesia> It was like $200 is now like $230. I bought one of these from brand new, online a few years ago, and it is the best guitar I own. Now it doesn't have a Superwide Warmoth neck like...

Could be worse, could be a "...dead salmon frozen in a waterfall..."

Hey I'm late to the party, but my preferred neck the "Superwide" is definitely the "Big Mac" of the guitar neck world.

Hey there Wchoy I've got some other mind blowing news for you. When you're tuning down to "Eb" you actually tuning up to "D#" ! The cool key of "F#" actually is the same as "Gb". On a more serious note, before I bought my first Warmoth neck, I cut and pasted huge chunks out of the Warmoth...

Well that is very distressing. I recently ordered and received in late December 2024 a custom neck. It seems fine to me although I haven't put it on a guitar yet, so fingers crossed. I remember a long time ago, talking to a guy who owned a mail order business (that's when it was called "mail...

Hi "....My best playing neck is a Kramer Beretta and the frets feel small to me. I shy away from stainless. " According to the Kramer forum the new Baretta Special comes with "Dunlop 6150 frets" which are .102 wide & .042in tall. The Kramer forum says this is too low for shredding and I...

Well the Egyptian Eye is very cool, but I'm not sure. I could see your bandmates using it against you. As in the next time you miss a chord change, or a verse/ chorus change, the're liable to say "What, you didn't SEE that coming?" "Mystical EYE not working today?" "Need to change the battery...

+1 on getting a junk neck to try on. I've never done this but looking at the video, it seems like you have to develop a feel when pulling the frets out. A feel like is this fret going to rip out the wood or not. How do you dvelop this feel? By making mistakes. Also why are you doing this? Is to...

Yes I do. I'm not proud of it, and I really keep it to myself, but yeah it's a thing. Part of my reticence comes from this devasting, but entirely accurate, signature/ slogan on somebody else's post, on some other forum. "You start off playing guitars to get girls & end up talking with...

HI Stultzies You said "...more money..." I'm prepared to pay whatever exorbitant ransom that Warmoth wants for an "L" shaped Earvana type nut. My other options / schemes including moving to Puyallup, and standing out side the Warmoth factory demanding they make these nuts available in (as I...

Who here buys necks from the showcase as opposed to a fully custom neck and why? To me I don't understand why the showcase even exists. Why would you pass up on the chance for a fully custom neck? Now the showcase does exist, it contains hundreds of necks, and clearly is a sucess, but to me...

Now that is interesting So where you thinking as you were playing that the low string was tuned to "E" and thus you were off by a whole tone on any note you played on the low string?

0.60mm is 0.023622in in decimal format. In inch decimal 1/32in is 0.03125in so the discrepancy between the two pieces is slightly more than than 1/32 of an inch. 1/16 of an inch is .0625 decimal inches Generally 1/16 is considered precise work in the woodworking field. Wood is also simply not...

Hi Aaron Thanks for responding, So it's true! There is a corporate conspiracy aginst "L" shaped nuts ! "...as history hasn't shown enough demand to warrant the expense." "..enough demand..." Well I am demanding it now. Demanding it in a loud, strident, and annoyingly high pitched voice. Isn't...
