In another forum, a user recommends to just glue the string ferrules with wood glue (superglue could damage the wood by time). So I glued the string ferrules with the quick-drying wood glue "Pattex Express" and will report whether the sleeves hold in the long term.

Hi there, today I discovered that the predrilled holes for string ferrules of my roasted swamp ash Warmoth Stratocaster replacement body are too wide (diameter 8.03 mm) for original Fender string ferrules (diameter 7.95 mm). By the other unroasted swam ash Warmoth Stratocaster body I got, the...

Thank you, you're right. I was trying to order with a new chambered body...

Hi, in the past I bought a Warmoth custom build Stratocaster replacement body with 1-piece swamp ash core wood and wondered why I had to select an additional lam top if I choose the same wood for the lam top as the core wood? And I wondered even more when the body arrived. Because I couldn't...

Hi there, for a Warmoth partscaster with superwide neck and vintage wide bridge I'm searching humbucker sized low output (PAF like) pickups for blues playing: Neck pickup for 2-1/16" (52,4 mm) string spacing. Bridge pickup for 2-7/32" (56,4 mm) string spacing. My first search wasn't very...

Indeed, thank you for this solution! I may come back to it, if the issue isn't solved.

I've reconsidered that with staggered Hipshot tuners you don't have any problems with the high e string. Graph Tech also states that their staggered ratio tuners don't require string trees. But my high e string sounds dull. Therefore I tried to carefully sand the e string notch with 2000 grid...

I don't want to recut the tusq, because I choosed the super wide neck for the wide string spacing. A wider bend butterfly string tree might be an option, but they are known for friction. That isn't ideal, because it's for a Stratocaster with tremolo and I use it alot. Could the smallest e-bass...

Hello, i got a Warmoth super wide neck with staggered Graph Tech Ratio tuners on the head stock, but stil need a string tree for the B and e strings, because the e string vibrates in the nut. The string spacing at the nut of the super wide neck is 8.3 mm. I wanted to install Graph Tech string...

Thank you Stratamania, that was very helpfull. I wasn't sure if the wood of the headstock would be able to hold the Graph Tech tuner pins in place, which are only 1/16" in diameter and short as 1/8". The holes have to be drilled on two different necks with indian rosewood and a roasted maple...

Hi there, did anyone installed Graph Tech locking Tuners on a Warmoth Stratocaster replacement neck and can give some advice how to install them? I bought these 6-in-Line Graph Tech Ratio locking tuners...

Thank you Mayfly and Stratamania, you made my day!  :occasion14: Because I ordered one of these necks (without Floyd Rose mounting bolts) I feared that my neck would also come with these bolts, which I wouldn't have liked.

Hi there, on May 2020 in a Youtube video Aaron from Warmoth talks about and shows Warmoth modern construction tiltback necks. Between minute 0:55 - 1:05 on the backside of the neck underneath the headstock, the ends of two little dark round pieces can be seen, which look like allen screws...

I choosed vintage 2 7/32" string spacing. Because I prefer it wide as possible. But was a bit afraid the E and e string might be too close to the edge of the fretboard, until I found the specs of the superwide neck at the 22. fret and the image of the neck heel overhang Stratamania posted in the...

Hello superwide neck users, what string spacing do you have at the bridge and how is your experience with it? Would you choose that string spacing again, or choose another today? Not long ago Stratamania wrote, that the superwide neck expands to 60.53 mm at the 22nd fret and posted a picture...
