Edge radius info absolutely NEEDS to be listed on the website !!

[Klark]

Anyone else been screwed by the edge radius info not being listed on the website ??  I once needed two bodies that look identical, so I ordered a solid body and then later a chambered body.  Well since the info is NOT listed on the website on ANY page, I ended up with the solid body that has a broad very curved edge, and a chambered body that has the sharper edge.  Seriously?  Why is this info not mentioned ??  Warmoth chooses to give us detailed info on the pickup rout depth and the wiring channel of the Vintage Series Replacement bodies. but not one mention concerning which edge radius you'd be getting.

It is my understanding that Fender changed the edge radius so often that it's impossible to classify them by year.  50's were mostly the broad, 60's were mostly sharp, 70's were mostly broad, and I believe they've been on the sharper edge radius since the 80's.  So who knows.

It is also my understanding that you can order a standard solid replacement body with either radius, but the vintage bodies only come in ONE radius ??  Why?  Shouldn't it be an option??  And if you can only have the one, which ONE is it ??

Lastly, I have also learned that you cannot order a laminate top or chambered body with the broad edge radius.  This is understandable as the broader radius bit would have to cross-cut through the glue layer.

Whatever the case, and whatever the available options, they need to be listed and viewable!!!

Please get the edge radius's and edge radius options listed on the website !!!

1) This belongs in the "suggestions" section, not "general discussion"
2) using lots of exclamation points and capital letters and coming across like a loud-mouthed self-righteous jerk isn't the way to make suggestions. Warmoth's a great company that is nice enough to have a forum where you're allowed to voice your opinion and they are pretty consistent about hearing and responding to that feedback. Let's not give them a reason to stop listening to what we have to say.

Jeez, man, I said please.  Oh, and since you didn't notice, this is the internet, not your Sunday Mass, so I will make suggestions however I see fit.  Have a nice day.

Uh, that's a bass, so take a more accurate look around before you just assume.  Radius info is not on a single guitar page.

It's not a bad idea to list the radius on bodies. The reason it is not listed very many places right now is because it simply doesn't come up that much.

sorry - NOT seeing any place where you specified this pertained specifically to thin stringed geetars. I do see you did say ANY page ... and I merely showed you that it is there if you look. I am not the one guilty of assumption here  :toothy12:


but like Gregg said - not a bad idea to have it listed so our thin stringed bretheren can know what they're getting

all the best,

Okay, I'll be devil's advocate: if you needed two identical bodies, why did you get two with completely different construction?  :evil4:

 

[AGWAN]

on the topic of edge radius... is it at all possible to get the soloist without one?

something more akin to the sharp edges of an RG?

 

[pabloman]

Why didn't you ask about it before you ordered? If it's such a big deal don't ya think you should have done some research?

While you are correct that you are viewing this forum on the internet, it is actually a private forum that Warmoth lets us use.  We all abide by certain rules of conduct and civility as laid out by our host.  Your tone is upsetting to me and I suspect others as well.  Why don't you chill out a bit and maybe you can find the answers you are looking for if you ask nicely.  If thats too much for you, I suspect you'll be done here quickly enough.

Warmoth does not own this forum. It is independent from Warmoth.

The guy did not break any forum rules.  I just love how people think they have the right to dictate what kind of font or punctuation that a poster uses.

It may not have a dedicated payroll, but the mods are W employees.  W most likely owns the webspace.  They do test their body builder here.  They advertise the UW forum on the main site.  They have a suggestion box that is commented on by W employees.  IMO, calling it unofficial allows pics to be posted of finished Fender compatible guitars made with Warmoth parts, something W is not supposed to do.

Sorry to hijack and not comment on the edge radius, but that wasn't going anywhere anyway.

O RLY?

Believe it or not I actually thought of that.  A lot have the headstocks cropped, they do have the disclaimer that they are customer guitars.  It's not W's pics.

 

[clearerphish]

I do know that W is not supposed to assemble guitars for customers, and they clearly don't do that. I would assume the forum is unofficial because it is a discussion forum and W can't control the content as strictly as they can on the W site. However I just browsed the gallery and every strat has the headstock cut off unless the person used a warmoth headstock or gibson style. Weird. Even the pic I submitted of my strat has the headstock chopped off. Wonder if it's more because the headstocks say "Warmoth"
