Thanks for the great advice!! :blob7:

Hello, I am finishing my first Warmoth project and I was wondering where to get really rad cases?  The guitar is a tele body with funky art on it so I thought something with cool coloured insides would look great.  Perhaps the Fender tweed come in array of colours? Cheers, :blob7:

Well this is great help because anytime I hear the words "thin" and "neck" into the same sentence I automatically assume the nasty flat necks that by no means fit my hand.  But Warmoths are traditional based off fender right? so there "standard" should hopefully not be too extreme in my hands. ...

Well I still can't figure out this contour biz...... :icon_scratch: For the first time I am considering the standard thin profile......but for the record I really dislike thin necks (I think).  I play a Fender SRV (already tried the SRV contour which is nothing like the Fender SRV) and my other...

"How many Warmoth Pro necks has he worked with? These thing do NOT move/warp at all. I live in the worst possible climate, extremes of heat/cold and humidity/dryness in an "architect's house" full of windows. My oldest Warmoth neck is going on three years old and it, nor any of the other 21...

I have a Vintage Mondern Strat Neck, with skunk-stripe......1 piece neck.   Regular truss adjustment....... So if the final process for contouring the neck is done my hand, can I request the 59 Roundback to lose a little extra pounds.  Has anyone ever tried asking for that?? :blob7:

Well the guy that is routing and essentially finishing the guitar for me swears against 1-piece maple necks.....and I trust his opinion.  And I have been told by other luthiers that if you have the choice between one piece maple or two piece go with the two.  And considering the amount of money...

To everyone that read this: SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION I didn't want to say what Warmoth actually messed up my order with.....but now that everyone is so concerned.  I ordered a two-piece, quarter-sawn maple strat, and the guy on the phone said he could make it a two-piece (lamented fingerboard). ...

I received my Warmoth SRV neck and I measured the contouring with a very precise digital measuring tool.  And it came to 0.810 at the first fret and 0.920 at the 12 fret.  The website says the measurements are 0.835 and 0.970.  I am returning the neck because they messed up my order but now I am...

Thanks for the good news and yes thats what I meant. Cheers, Suds    :blob7:

Sounds good to me thanks for the help...... :blob7:

Does Warmoth make a two piece maple neck?  I am having a real hard time figuring this one out.  Help will be appreciated. Suds  :blob7:

Does anyone know if the Fender SRV is asymmetrical?  Because when I play my mine I cannot tell.  Even when I examine very closely.  Does anyone know for sure?  :help:  Or does anyone know of a method of measurement? Thanks :blob7:

Interesting point............ :blob7:

Well I have a Fender SRV Strat and I love the neck contour so as long as its close I think I will like it.  My other consideration was the 59 Roundback which I have never heard of before Warmoth and music stores they don't know what I'm talking about and any info on that would be great education...
