The fret slot is not cut all the way across, but is a slot done by CNC. Then the fret needs part of the tang taken away at the edges to fit into the slot. Otherwise known as blind slots. It acheives a similar result to what you might have with a bound neck, but without the binding.

You would not use a radius block on the back of the neck as you would not be trying to create a radius. You could use a flat sanding block to keep your sanding equal and level along the length of the neck. You would use it tangentially. See also post of @Tretgeraet above. If you have never...

This is in the incorrect sub forum, it should be in general discussion. I have requested for it to be moved.

The profile does not need to be reshaped only smoothed down a bit. You just need some sandpaper, patience and maybe a block. You probably won't need anything coarser than 220 grit.

Probably it has had just a little less sanding. If you want it to feel closer to the others, a simple solution would be some sandpaper to get it to where you want it and then redo the tru-oil.

Have you considered a Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker set. Wired up with that harness, it could make you go hey, hey mama and make you groove.

I am not quite getting the bit about checking the fit of the neck to the body. It would be reasonable to check that it fits and that would be expected under the warranty. https://warmoth.com/warranty Have you screwed the neck to the body or just checked the fit?

This should be in General Guitar discussion. Builds in progress are for when you have parts that are being put together.

The difference in price is likely due to the bullets being more straightforward to manufacture compared to the others.

See body constructions - https://warmoth.com/guitar-chambered-bodies A single piece of wood is taken to create the body shape, and the hollow parts are hollowed out and most of the centre left intact to accomodate, bridge, pickup routs, neck joint etc. A lam top is then glued on. It has no...

The Warmoth contoured heel is mainly designed as it is for wider compatibility including with their Modern construction necks with the side adjust. But as you are not constrained by that the only thing to be kept in mind if you are going to have a body modded similar to the ultra is that when...

That is also a good bridge, but potentially will not give you a similar level of tuning stability. The reason I mention the vegatrem is that a bar is secured by four screws into the vintage spaced holes and then the tremolo pivots within that stable bar rather than on screws. It all depends of...
