Ordered a strat body in Alder Tobacco burst and Quartersawn maple neck. Just came in the other day and I gotta tell you I am not all that stoked....
The body finish looks great BUT - there is a small knot on the face below the bridge. I know its natural, but there shouldn't be knots on the face at the very least.
More importantly, The neck does NOT fit in the body pocket. My guitar tech will have to sand out the body pocket for it to fit. Again, I know the fit should be tight - but the neck won't even seat properly. Shouldn't the neck just flat out fit in?
My guitar tech was like, wow it seems as if they (warmoth) is not as good as they use to be - did you order these parts (nexk and body) together? I replied "YES".
I don't know, I am hoping it all works out - I just expected a little better from them - I have orders necks from them before with great results.
I guess I could have complained and returned - but if the guitar works out - I can deal with a dime size knot - the burst is very well done and subtle though.
sorry for b@tchen
