When are those needed? My warmoth project has undergone a full setup and I still think its not right. The Fret level is perfect, everything is dead straight. Fretboard is even (checked it with a stewmac ruler). Nut is perfect, not too low, not too high. The problem : it sounds dead on some...

Hi everyone, thanks again for all the suport (Major update) Had a second tech check the work from the first luthier and also check the fingerboard straightness with the stewmac tool made especially for that. Everything is PERFECTLY straight, so the first luthier did his job right and the...

Yeah Id like to get some imput. I live in Montreal, QC. Thks for the suggestions, I will get the neck under examination by someone who knows something about guitars

hey skuttlefunk, thanks for the interest Well its seems you can actually see it just by looking at the side, its pretty obvious to me. But one of those notched straightedge would be a great way to tell if thats EXactly the case! Thanks for the idea. Im gonna try to find someone in the area who...

I think exactly like you Godrex, and its a shame. This situation piss me off. And we just received some amazingly good ibanez at the guitar store where I work that sells for 400$ and they kill. Well, at least there is no defect on them. That piss me off even more. Someone is interested in a...

(sorry for the english) Hi guys, just want to share this story with you. I just assembled my "Warmoth" guitar...pretty much a bunch of parts and a warmoth neck. After giving the guitar some rest and a proper set up, I sent the guitar to a luthier near my place for a proper set-up and a fret...

Mine needed work right away, maybe I was just unlucky who knows. Bad seated frets, frets too high (little high spot on fret board). Nothing that a good setup could correct or make it decent even with an high action. Also it is about 100% sure that if you take a precut nut, its gonna be too high...

Hmm. Im like the biggest Futurama fan around, I dont care If kids listen to it, im 24 and cant survive 2-3 days without cartoons  :icon_thumright:. OMG this must be the nicest artwork ever put on a guitar. Send that to Jackson or Esp custom shop, you might get a full-time job as a guitar artist...

Hi, I got 2 guitar with scalloped neck.. and just got my first warmoth guitar with SS6100, so I guess I can give you an input there  :icon_thumright:. Im a BIG fan of scalloped neck. However, im lucky to be one who doesn't press hard on my string. So usually, fretwear on my guitars (regardless...

:laughing11: True, im amazed to see that 1) this post is still alive 2) nobody died yet As for now, the guitar is going well, totally amazed with the warmoth neck. Worked on the nut a bit with home tools, fairly decent now, could be better. But I can't afford any custom work right now.

Just to give you an update... someone just polished the frets and moved the truss rod a bit, things seems to get better :oD. I guess since its a newly put together instrument..it needs time to settle down. Those ss6100 SHINE now! I'm almost afraid to slip on them and break my back on the floor...

A big thanks to you about this info!! I will make sure the tech lookout for an unsuspected bad-seated fret! Happy to get this info just in time before the guy come take it  :icon_thumright:

Woah, wouldnt expect something like that. I can say surely that the neck totally kills, but it is not in a real playing condition yet (i.e some notes sounds dead). It's nothing related to truss rod adjustement or basic setup. I work In a guitar store and I have direct access to the people who...

Omg. 5900, 5800? lol.... Anyway good thing about the 6000, might order a scallop neck with them.

Hey ! not a bad idea , I do like the telecaser bridge pickup! Guess I could just route the body to accept it. More likely, I will just put a humbucker at the bridge,  I got a spare SD lil59 and lil JB .
