I got a quick response from Warmoth, though it's a bit foggy: "R3 and R4 are very close in sizing and mainly are a different string spacing. You MIGHT have to mess with the mounting holes, as sometimes those are not exact, but most of the time, they’re pretty close matches." We know about string...

Thanks, but my new neck already has the R4 prep shelf. (I do have a similar setup on another partscaster I made with a Birdseye Maple Warmoth). I still haven't heard back yet, but I think technically there is a slight difference in the height when mounting. From another forum: "R3 nut the...

Hoping to dig this thread out of the dirt as I have a similar question: what if,say,theoretically... Someone ordered a Screaming Deal neck and accidentally 'fat-fingered' String Nut R4 Floyd Prep Shelf Only instead of R3? I think I get what you mean when "...This means the nut shelf has to be...

Digging this out of the ancient dirt as I also have this question. I just got my: String Nut R4 Floyd Prep Shelf Only neck and might end up trying an R3 nut, sending Warmoth a follow up email & will report. Maybe a vid for Aaron in this?

Yes! that's the problem I'm dealing with... potentially 5 different route standards referring to the different mounts.  I think the Gotoh bridge reference is in part due to the Wilkinson install fail video Aaron did which required a weird mix of Gotoh and Wilkinson routes / stud installs...

Thanks Jeremiah, I think you got me closer, but also further down the rabbit hole.  I did check that Gotoh site before posting, but didn't pay much attention to it since they don't make my model.  After checking your link I noticed the spec 'string spacing' and thought a-ha.  The frustration...

The layouts are something that I wish had been made a standard (6 screw std A, 2 post std B, etc) Bridge makers can spec 'this unit conforms to std B' routers can set to std B, everything conforms to a set standard with specific tolerances.  Virtually impossible to implement, but seems a...

Thanks for the link, I did check it before posting and did just double check it, but could find no information about the Wilkinson WVS 50 II K. Here @ unofficialwarmoth member Kyler tried the plain 50 in 2011, but no follow-up on whether it worked.  In 2015 Valhagen apparently used this 50IIK in...

Long time viewer, first time poster.  I will be building a guitar and have had many of the parts for quite some time (Warmoth neck I purchased in '93!)  All I need is a body. I am looking at a Soloist Mahogany but am very concerned about stud spacing for the tremolo.  I have a Wilkinson WVS 50...
