Warmoth Conversion Neck on Squire Jim Root Tele

[chime13]

Hello All,
Just wanted to share some impressions of my new Warmoth neck.

Conversion 24 3/4” scale on a Squire Jim Root Tele body with Seymour Duncan “Whole Lotta Humbuckers”, a Fender Superswitch. Hipshot locking tuners. Using .009-.046 Strings

Note: I was unaware that the Gotoh Truss adjustment add-on is directly beneath one of the 4 neck screw holes because of Fender’s contoured heel. I ended up using 3 bolts to hold the neck. Also had to shim the neck in order for it to be perfect. (Original neck did not need shim)

Also: noticed some slight imperfection on the center of the fretboard but it’s only visual

I love this neck! Quality and playability are a 10/10

Hello, Welcome to the Forum.
Looks great! You could relocate the fourth neck screw and have DangerousR6 make you a custom neck plate to match. Just a suggest................. :icon_thumright:

Thanks @PhilHill- I did consider doing just that, but it seems to be doing fine with 3 screws.Eventually I'll get around to it - hahaha
Kind regards!
