There's a new neck in town. Introducing the "Hombre", Warmoth's new tiltback 3+3 neck design with classic looks and styling. It's the hottest neck this side of the Rio Grande, and one lucky winner is going to get one for free! To enter, go here: http://woobox.com/e994hy. Then mosey on over to the Warmoth website and check them out. Good luck, hombre!

Gonna be some Hambre Hombres round these parts. (Apologies to anyone who actually speaks spanish. Pretty sure that's conjubutchered incorrectly)

Good thing I'm immune - if 3x3 electric guitars were such a good idea, God would've told Leo to build it that way when he brought down the electric guitar design from the mountain on tablets of stone.
 
It's a good-looking neck. The Regal was a little busy at the top. This one is clean.

Leo's designs are based on what was quick and cheap to manufacture, and, to a lesser extent, his fundamental misunderstanding of how guitars and basses are used.

Thumb rests below the strings? Bolt-ones, straight headstocks, mounting everything in pickguards? Alder and ash? Maple? All down to cost, time, and misunderstanding of function.

Good for you if you like his designs that much, but to suggest they are some act of divine genius is quite, quite insane. :icon_thumright:

edit: typo!

You forgot:

Strat's volume knob WAY too close to the bridge.  :evil4:

God didn't care if Leo did his own thing, he was busy making sure Orville did it right!

Pinky swells

Anyway, nice headstock.

I reject your pinky swells in favor of being able to mute the high strings effectively.  :icon_biggrin: :occasion14:

And I would like to add that Bigsby invented the six in line headstock, not Leo.

Not sure that I like the new design that much more than the Regal, just glad they didn't abandon the symmetrical 3x3 altogether.
 
It was a joke guys. It's been hashed out plenty of times here. I won't say anymore in this thread to avoid further hijack of a Warmoth product announcement.
 
"Our take on a classic configuration."  Sounds like the lawyers got involved.

Nice job on the Vid!!!
 
I too would like to chime in and say great video.  :icon_thumright:

I hope to see even more videos from Warmoth in the future.
