I'm new to the hold DYI guitar thing and I'm thinking of getting a Warmoth electric guitar body and neck, but I have several concerns that I need to make clear for me to make a decision.
Necks. How does a Warmoth Standard Thin neck compare to current Fender Modern C necks found on American Standard Stratocasters? Any minor differences in the profile shape? Thicker or thinner - and by how much?
How does Warmoth Wizard neck compare to actual current Super Wizard found on current Ibanez Prestige guitar? From the pictures I would think Warmoth Wizard is rounder and thicker - is that really so?
Maybe someone could tell me how it compares to ESP M-II bolt-on or neck-through-body neck in terms of profile shape and thickness?
I'm kind of on the fence between the Standard Thin and the Wizard. Current Ibanez Wizards as found on mid-high end RGs (Premium/Prestige) is too thin and too flat on the back with too big a shoulder for me. Fender American Standard Stratocaser feels much better in my hand even if I wish it was slightly thinner.
I'm going to try some more of the Fender American Standard Strat to see if I'm really cool with it, but then I'm worried: if the Fender neck is alright with me, will Warmoth Standard Thin be too?
And if I decide I want a thinner neck, according to the pictures, Warmoth Wizard seems to be quite round (less shoulder than I imagine a Premium/Prestige RG Ibanez has). But maybe I'm wrong?
I'm also thinking about getting a body from Warmoth and a neck from USACG. What do you guys think about it? What would you say are the pros of getting a neck from Warmoth as opposed to the one from USACG? I am particularly drawn to the option of a titanium rod that USACG offers and their flexibility of neck thickness.
