Big news regarding Warmoth Soloist bodies...

Could also give 24 fret access like on the early RG/JEM models. Those necks bolted on just like a strat, and the lower horn was deep cut to allow easy access to the full 24 fret overhang. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and see how many of my wishes are granted.

Yes, the heel could be sculpted like the newer strats without sacrificing much in terms of compatibility, just need to move one screw hole. And avoid the modern construction neck if that makes you nervous.

Believe me: I push for exactly this every chance I get, to the point that I have become annoying to everyone around me.

But it has not happened yet.

Speaking of being annoying and pushy

It's on the schedule for some time in Q2. The standard offering will have the square heel to be compatible with all other necks we offer. The sculpted heel will be reserved for limited runs only.

Not a great pic, but shows that a strat heel fits into an Ibanez RG with the old square heel, and the final few frets on an overhang that extends right up to the neck pickup are easily accessed.
