In the past I've ordered a few necks;
Floyd shelves was low, so I could shim them to taste.
Fret ends had plenty of space, and I never had to specify in a box "I want square ends". I never needed that.
But now the last order had three necks, with ridicolously angled fret ends... And too high floyd shelves.
Okay, I sent back for Warmoth to fix the shelves (they didn't make a perfect job with it, I still had to fix some stuff myself) and after putting it togvether... I CANNOT PLAY IT! The string keeps slipping out ALL THE TIME.
I hate this guitar.
And the other two necks I ordered are absolutely useless too, because of that stupid fret angle.
And there's other issues too;
The finish on the body is very orange peely, unlike my previous Warmoth body which had perfect smooth finish.
The mounting stud holes for the OFR bushings was kinda too big, so the bushing isn't seated properly in the body...
YES I ordered German OFR bushings, but the holes are still a bit too big, it feels like...
My old Warmoth neck, vs the new one; (and NO, I never specified "square fret ends", so how in the world could I expect the fret ends to change like this from one order to the next? Esepcially since THREE necks in the last few years was perfect, and now this? It's a surprise, and NOT a good one)
This is the last time I order from Warmoth, I'm terribly dissapointed with everything.
I've been amazed by previous orders, but this has been a nightmare from start to end. :dontknow:
