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.

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

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...

Then probably a Vegatrem if you really wanted to use those body styles if you want a modern trem would be the way to go.

Or you can also use a FIshman rechargeable battery trem backplate.

It is a possibility, though if so the wire can be cut before the short and if needed new wires joined for any needed additional length.
