No problem - appreciate the input. :) After doing some more testing, 49 mm at the nut is a little big at the nut end of the pocket, so it probably should be 48 mm.  I just realised that this is the actual nut width of the SuperWide.  Anyway, more evidence that my SuperWide neck doesn't quite...

Oh, actually, equating 2+3/16" with 56 mm is 4 tenths of a mm off, not 4 hundredths: 56 mm - (2 + 3/16) inch -> mm 7/16 (exactly 0.4375) (That's Frink syntax.) I made another test pocket yesterday and I have to increase the heel width to 56.2 mm (from 55.56 mm) and the virtual nut width to 49...

Good thoughts, and as you say, 56 mm is certainly not 2+3/16" - I wonder which dimension they actually use on the factory floor.  If they are making them to a 56 mm spec, 56.2 mm wouldn't be too far off the mark.  However, if they really are supposed to be 2 3/16", that's 0.6 mm off!  It's worth...

Hi all, I have a Warmoth body and SuperWide neck, and was wondering about interchangeability with other guitars. The heel seems to measure larger than spec: 56.16 mm (2.211") at the heel of the neck itself, and 56.2 mm (2.213") across the neck pocket in the body.  This is considerably larger...

Maybe it's heresy but I've had pretty good results using a Dremel with a cut-off wheel for cutting and shaping stainless steel fret wire.  Just work gradually and use both hands resting on a surface to give good stability and control.  And safety glasses, obviously!

Thanks! That's improved it considerably. I could feel some roughness in the channel, and used a variety of cheap diamond files (small but probably not quite as fine as they should be) to smooth it down. I should have mentioned that this is the 456 piezo model. After the initial filing I noticed...

I'm putting together an all-Warmoth VIP with Schaller 456 bridge, and I've noticed a strange dull/buzzy sound on the B string, almost a bit like a sitar.  It affects the string the whole way up, even on the final fret, and only that string, so I don't believe it's a problem with action/neck...
