Nice new tele neck.. but

[2oldman]

Received neck couple days ago.  I had to kludge it in the body a bit as it wasn't "sitting up straight" enough to be playable.  Not a biggie.  However, the B string nut channel wasn't cut.  So I guess I'll be ordering a set of files from Amazon and do that myself.

All in all, nice job!

Interesting!  This is the second nut on the forum that was dodgy.  Maybe a QC thing...

I was unlucky enough to have a badly cut nut on my first Warmoth. All the slots were shifted ever so slightly to the right and caused the high E string to be very close to the edge. The string also didn't align well with the bridge pickup pole piece. Have you tried contacting support?

Maybe a new squirrel in the nut shop.  :icon_jokercolor:

Support contacted.  Returning for repairs.

After careful consideration, a job best left to pros.  That's a mighty small slot.

Still wouldn't be a bad idea to get some nut files as fine tuning the slots will most likely be necessary on any new nut.

Yes. Even when they're cut properly, they're still typically a bit shallow to allow for width/depth adjustment to accommodate string size and playability concerns.

I have never had a nut installed by Warmoth on any of my necks after my first build.
I figure why mess around with that when I still need to have my tech fine tune the nut :dontknow:
Besides that, I really like a good old fashion bone nut the best...

After my first Warmoth order I just started ordering necks without a nut since I figured they would best be dialed in for the individual guitar in the end anyway. But it sounds like a quality control issue with the shop on this particular function. Aaron are you out there?

Aaron's in marketing - the guys on the shop floor are trained to not listen to him. 

Best to contact customer service over this.
