Question about VR fret access

[ShapelessCrab]

How is the fret access on a warmoth VR body for shredding? I'm considering going with Warmoth but if the access is terrible I might pass. I'm used to Gibson flying Vs. Also would the contoured heel make a difference for this body shape? Anyone have pics of the difference? Any info is welcome. Thanks!

Same as a Jackson Rhoads, which is what it is modeled after.

Just as good then? Jacksons are usually neck through contruction I believe.

Fingerboard access will be the same, "feel" on the back will obviously be different, similar to a bolt on Jackson RR, which you can find in music stores all over.

Ah okay. Thank you! I'm gonna go look for one to play before I decide in that case. Cheers!

This is advisable as most of all of Warmoth's offerings are emulations of items already available in the marketplace. IE, if you want to feel what the Wolfgang neck profile feels like, go play an EVH.  If you want to feel the '59, go feel a Gibson Les Paul, etc...

And if you want a sense of Warmoth's "boatneck" profile try to find a Nash strat in a shop with their "boatneck" since Nash does two neck profiles, a medium C and a boatneck. Nash has stated in an interview all his guitars have 6105 frets, fyi.

The 59 neck I have does not feel like my Les Paul. But my Les Paul may be a slimmer neck closer to a 60.
