Hi All,
This is my first post here on the board after lurking for a bit, and getting interested about guitar building and luthier work. I have a few concerns I'll detail below.
1) Has anyone done a neckthru Warmoth build by cutting a channel down the middle of the body to fit a neckthru body neck blank? If so, please tell (or link) me your experiences. I'm thinking about trying this after I've successfully completed a bolt-on build.
2) I've been doing my own Floyd Rose setups and truss rod adjustments for years. However, when it comes to fret levelling and crowning etc, I'd have someone else do that. I've read mixed reactions to factory necks delivered. what should I expect with current neck builds?
3) I plan to leave it bare unfinished until after I have it put together and playing nice, then disassemble to either stain or dye. Does anyone else do it this way? To make sure the guitar/bass will work proper before finishing? Anything to look out for after finishing and reassembling?
Thanks in advance for any first time build advice. I've seen a lot of nice work here.
