So In the near future, I finally think I am going to get my first Warmoth neck.. I thought about getting one for a long time but I went with Carvin for my last 3 builds.. this time though, since Carvin doesnt do fender headstocks, figured I may try Warmoth if this is the project im doing.
With Carvin's though, you get a completely finished neck out of the box, perfect frets with no need for adjustment (other than the obvious attaching body/setup) - and thats what I want. I have no experience with fret work, and want to keep things simple.
Now reading a few threads in the past on various forums, people say when you order a Warmoth neck, they generally need some finishing work right out of the box, like fret polishing or leveling, nut work, truss rod adjustments.. etc.. Is this true or just myth??
Not really looking to do any work other than fitting it to the Tele body, shimming it and stringing it up, setting intonation.. Do I need to do anything extra with a new warmoth neck?
(I understand if something went wrong thru shipping that would throw things off.. but from my 3 Carvin necks going from California to Eastern Canada and everythings been perfect (except one neck that warped over the year, but when it arrived it was fine) - I dunno how much more of a drastic shipping change can be..)
