I'm planning on ordering a warmoth body(wgd) and neck(wm) pretty soon, I was hoping the board could answer a couple of my questions.
1.When it says that the wm necks are angled, are they refering to a headstock angle, or a neck angle (for tune-o-matics)?
2.Does the wilkinson come from warmoth with the screws and (for lack of a better word) hooky thing for the springs?
3.Do the frets on warmoth necks come dressed?
thanks and :party07: just because it looks awesome
 
1. Headstock 13 degrees angled for those particular styles.
2. I'd assume so, but I haven't had a Wilky
3. Nope, they're playable, but it's up to you if you want them doodled up more than how they're finished.
 
1. Asked and answered

2. The Wilkinson vibrato bridges come with all the hardware you need - bridge, saddles, arm, screws, mounting posts, springs, claw, etc. I just bought one from them a month ago.

3. The fret job they do is very good. The last one I got I didn't have to do anything to it. But, you can't assume that's what you'll get. All you can do is build the guitar and see if it needs attention. Worst case is you'll have to pay for a minor dressing and setup, but that's not usually terribly expensive. When you figure you'll probably have between $800-$1,400 into the thing, another $25 to $50 to make it perfect is nothing.

1.  Warmoth does angled pockets to accommodate some bridge setups.  They do angled headstocks as well, mostly to give the look of a Gibson (or other headstock) but they also have angled Fender types as well.
2.  I think so
3.  On a maple neck, that Warmoth finishes, you'll have to clean the finish off the frets.  On necks with raw fretboards, the frets are some of the best in the industry, as is.  You might find the occasional high fret, never a low one.  Most of the time.. vast vast majority of the time, no dressing needed at all.
