(Coming from the other thread): Handedness option is missing as a filter and strangely there don't seem to be any lefties listed. The day before the change there were 8 lefty strat bodies and 1 soloist (possibly others). None are showing now.

Sorting options have kind of degraded and I don't see any of the lefties in the in stock section. Seems like something is off.

Me? No way. :) I'm just trying to explain the geometry. I'd suggest the neck has to really be built this way from the beginning. To accommodate this, using the formula above, it's probably pretty easy for someone who is building a neck from scratch (who already *can* build a neck from scratch)...

Yeah the way the scale conversion on normal bodies with a 24 3/4" scale neck (or any conversion, for that matter) is done is by altering the placement of the fingerboard on the neck. If you think about it, there are one variable and two fixed widths: Fixed: The distance from the nut to the 12th...

Also use Hipshots with the UMP system. I have locking, non locking, open back, closed back, staggered, non-staggered. All work wonderfully. I also like that you can get non-metal buttons in different varieties from both Hipshot and other makers.

I have a few guitars with Warmoth bodies and Musikraft necks. I don't know what I'd consider them, but I certainly post here :)

I'd go parchment but I kind of wonder what tortoise would look like.

Figured I'd ask around first before placing yet another build order.

Ah thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Hey all, google has only been slightly helpful in this. Does anyone have any pics of their build in candy turquoise finish? Trying to decide on my next build. The small number of pics I've seen have been cool, but I can't really differentiate between it and lake placid blue metallic.

Too lazy to take the plate off. This is a rear-routed tele.

I know it's not exactly what you want to hear, but in the past I have had good luck using this trem stop https://floydrose.com/collections/trem-stops/products/frtl?variant=29837632850. Works very well and you could actually install two of them if you were so inclined. I'd imagine it's more...

Michael Nielsen did a video of a Warmoth build where he did exactly this (by accident); it wound up pushing the fret up somehow.

I was replying to the OP who is concerned about having to restring his guitar, which he would not have to do.

Just FYI, I'm not a fan of the neck adjust at heel for the reasons you're mentioning... however, you don't have to restring it to adjust the rod. You really just have to slack the strings to remove the neck enough to adjust it.
