    Ordered 59 roundback with SS6115, TUSQ nut too low?

    Yes, graphtech pre-cut nuts that are supposedly for fender necks are not usable for warmoth necks with bigger frets. Mine is 6150 and I had one I couldn't use it either. I ended up getting a few bone nut blanks and cut to spec, first one came out okay but the second one came out perfect. It's...

    Chips in the Warmoth Finish

    I am all for more options. But The advantage of a thin finish is that it ages gracefully. In my experience with thick finishes you won't have any dings or scratches and then one time bam! large chip on the paint. So after a few years of use, instead of tiny scratches and dings you would only...

    Tele question

    A lot of it is the pickup. There is a steel base plate under tele bridge pickup that changes the tone dramatically. I mounted the pickup directly to the body, hot rail humbucker tele pickup.

    Is this neck seated properly [photos included]? Plus hardtail soloist question.

    Measured on the side of the heel, it is exactly 24.5mm from the bottom of the heel to the top edge of the fretboard on the side. However, from the bottom of the neck to the bottom edge of the fretboard overhang is 20.5mm. The fretboard overhang is about only 4mm but I measured on the side, from...

    Is this neck seated properly [photos included]? Plus hardtail soloist question.

    After 5 months, I finally completed putting together(hopefully) my soloist from a Warmoth neck and body. The guitar is absolute perfection, never played anything like it. The fretwork is absolute perfection  :guitarplayer2:. Only thing is that I am not completely sure if I have seated the neck...
