Rick has created a post on his website about my Neck.  The post includes some history about how it all came about and new and improved photos of me and the guitar. http://www.ricktoone.com/2010/03/warmoth-trapezoidal-neck-profile.html

Thanks for the compliment.  Im really happy with how well this turned out Warmoth really do make a great product. Its really the flat surfaces on the back of the neck that make it so comfortable.  Like i said above having your thumb on a flat surface makes gripping the neck a lot easier, so the...

The first instrument Rick made with the Trapezoidal Profile was in fact a bass guitar.  In my original post about the profile (Linked above) theres a youtube video of a guy talking about and playing the bass in question.  He's also created a variation of it for 5 string basses which is even more...

Thank you knucklehead i appreciate it.

I've uploaded some images on image shack but dont know how to link it so you can see the actual image on this site.

Hello everyone, i have just recently finished putting together my first Warmoth strat and it looks and plays great! Im really pleased with the way this guitar has turned out and sent Warmoth an email a couple of weeks ago thanking them for making such a great product.   Some of you may remember...

I used to break a fair few strings at the saddles on my fender highway 1.  I replaced them with graphtechs and i havnt broken a string there since.  They also sound warmer and i perceived a slight increase in sustain.

Id say go for it and see how it sounds.  This could make for a good experiment into the effect different woods have on a guitars tone.  It not gonna sound any good if you don't put decent pickups in it anyway.  Hardware is a bit more debatable.

Ive spoken to Brian Eckles from Warmoth via email about this and this is what he had to say: "We evaluated it, it is nothing really special, made out of very lightweight material, the saddles have a potential to fall out of turned upside down when unstrung, it shows no advantage over other...

You generally only see zero frets on really cheap guitars because they're easy to make.  You also seem them on really expensive guitars because there are apparently some advantages to using one over a conventional nut, dont remember any off hand though.  I imagine a zero fret made of a really...

imagine flame shaped holes with a red and orange sunburst around them. 

That image is from the full contact website.

I think its an interesting idea.  Alot of people here will tell you that the neck of a guitar plays a bigger part in the tone of the instrument then the body does, so chambering one could have quite a dramatic effect.  Perhaps strengthening the neck with carbon fibre or maybe even some kind of...

You can buy the saddles on their own for fender style bridges if youre not a fan of the logo.  Im planning on buying a set myself.  The mechanism for setting the action looks alot easier to use and the extra mass in the saddle looks like it may have some affect on the tone of the instrument. ...

That lp is badass.  I want one now.
