Hi Guys

Does anyone know if Warmoth does a custom headstock on
their "Total Vintage" neck construction?
I did call them on last Friday but didn't get a clear answer.
(the guy said he had to ask...)
I want a "vintage-correct" tele headstock on a "Total Vintage" neck.

Not sure what Warmoth used as the template for their Tele headstock.
It's very close... but not quite accurate. I want the tele headstock to
look like this:

Warmoth's headstocks are very slightly different. It's not obvious, but there are differences. Same deal as the Warmoth standard Strat and Tele bodies, and how there are now 'Vintage' bodies on offer as well. Comparing my Warmoth necks (I won't pretend to speak for every neck they've ever made) to the ones of other manufacturers, Warmoth's parts are closer to ESP's than Fender's (in many ways, not just the headstock silhouette).

Also the Fender Tele headstock has changed very slightly, too. Mostly in thickness and the neck/head transition, though, rather than the front outline. Though, most of those changes happened within the first few years of the Tele's life.
 
Thanks for the info, guys.

I'm sending a drawing of a teleheadstock to Warmoth this week.
Hope they approve it.
As for the thickness, not sure Warmoth would do a thinner headstock.
That would be nice! But USACG did one for me last year.
