Blue Flame

Warmoth necks with angled headstocks are always made from two pieces of wood joined like that.

Very clean mod btw!

Wow, you dare ! Nice job !

But the thing I still don't understand is the color differences one can see near the headstock : are these 2 different pieces of wood ??? Looks like the flames don't match...

Yeah that's where the scarf joint is. All Warmoth tiltback necks are made out of two pieces of wood (not counting the fretboard) because of the change in angle. The shaft is one piece and then the headstock piece is glued to that. You can see the shape of the joint in the last picture.

Oh ok ! I didn't know that. Thanks !

Pretty ballsy mod. It's for the best, though. Thin necks are easy to wrestle into submission.

Yeah I only did it out of neccesity. The '59 profile is just too thick for me, especially up high on the neck, it was no fun compared to my thin so out came the rasp!
