Multi Scale?

[EddieDavis]

Is that something Warmoth already does or would offer as an option in the future?

They don't now and haven't in the past. No telling what they'll do in the future, but I wouldn't expect something like that to show up any time soon. Market for that kind of neck has to be vanishingly small.

Vanishingly small for dudes playing more mainstream classic rock,  but modern, highly technical music seeems to be bringing the ergonomically adventurous builders out of the woodwork,  so to speak. Kiesel in particular have invested in several multiscale models and they appear to be moving some units.

I saw somewhere that the most popular model by Chapman Guitars by far, now that they've introduced new ones, are the V. 
But I get the impression that Warmoth sell very few of these - and they have three models of the V!
So just because Kiesel sell a lot of multiscale guitars doesn't necessarily mean that Warmoth will.

Some of the giveaway's from Warmoth some time back involved some market research questions. And weren't some of those questions targeted to multiscale necks? Maybe Warmoth have done some research and will be releasing such a neck sometime soon. Or perhaps their research have told them that there just isn't that many people interested in them.

Who knows? (Well, Aaron does, of course ... )

If I wanted to get a multiscale guitar...I wouldn't want to go to Warmoth.

Even when there's a non-trivial market for a part, you still have to consider what your share of it can be. There may be several hundred of them sold per year, but every additional supplier splits that pie up into smaller pieces.
