I ordered my Warmoth Strat, (Custom Build), at the beginning of November 2012 and received it just after Christmas. First gig I did with it was New Years Eve and I've used it every weekend since. I'm still having minor tuning problems with it, and retune a heck of a lot more (8-10 times per gig), than I did with my Fenders. They just usually needed a tune up at the start, and at the break of every gig. Strange thing is, the Warmoth usually goes slightly sharp. I've cut the nut slots with Stewart McDonald files, and have Graphtech Tusq string trees so it can't be those. The truss rod is adjusted to Fender specs, as are the pickup heights and action. My Warmoth is a hardtail with Gotoh SG38 tuners. I'm wondering is it just a matter of the wood, which prior to November last year were just planks, settling into their new shapes as a guitar neck and body?
