So rather than necro another thread I figured I'd start one here. This was related to a 2017 thread where someone was looking for a 22 fret, 24.75" scale 7/8 Strat, that did not have the neck pickup position moved. As per usual fashion, everyone blasted the idea and asked why he didn't just get the 24" 22 fret neck, which seems kind of silly considering he was asking specifically about a 24.75" scale with only 22 frets...
Why doesn't Warmoth do more options for their configurations? IE, Why not have a 24" version of the VIP, Regal, any guitar body they make? If all that needs to be done is the bridge pickup route and bridge routes need to moved up to compensate the intonation, that seems like a pretty quick design edit for a CNC job that's already ready to go.
I realize this could open the flood gates for options, but isn't that the point? And if the customers are willing to pay an extra fee to have a CNC edit done so they get exactly what they want, what's the loss for Warmoth? I'd rather pay Warmoth $200 extra to have the bridge routes and pickup position done exactly by the computer rather than pay someone $200 to do it by hand and eye.
Surely they have someone there for programming the CNC designs, or if they don't they could send these out in batches. I just can't see how moving bridge route slots, pickup position routes, control knob/toggle switch route locations, any of that, would take more than 15 minutes for a competent CNC programmer to do.
That's more $$$$ for Warmoth and less headache for everyone else.
