Warmoth neck = dead e string

To be fair, though, it's kinda like someone going to a Harley-Davidson forum and saying:
"I just got a Dyna Glide, and it stalled out on me when I shifted to third. My mechanic says Harleys are junk. I've never had this problem with my 'Busa, what do you guys think?"

(note: I know jack-crap about bikes, but my point is it shows poor form on the OP's part.)

The difference is,with Harley's it'd be justified. The Gibson of motorcycles.

I agree, Harleys do suck, but no one seems to care, now a Busa, that is a motorcycle from a company that has engineers, not stylist.

Might as well let this thread die. After the first couple of insulting posts I stopped reading. Even if somebody on this forum posts good advice I will not see it.

I will say that I am amazed that people seem to think that my criticism of a piece of would somehow makes me legitimate target of their demeaning personal attacks.  Classy bunch around here I see. I actually thought you guys would help.

There were numerous posts with excellent advice.
Good luck trolling elsewhere.

If you're going to stop reading after the first couple posts, you're not going to learn much. As Autobat said, there were a number of helpful posts here. To be fair, you have to admit that what you described would be an unusual situation even for a Gibson, let alone something as high-quality as a Warmoth, so you give the impression that you're not looking for help so much as infiltrating an "enemy" camp and spreading fertilizer.

So, to reiterate some of the better advice here - take it to a legitimate guitar tech, not a "Certified Fender Guy", whatever the hell that is. It's not an attack on you, it's just a general observation that you don't seem to be able to see or adjust for setup problems. There's no shame in that. Lotsa players can't do it. It involves mechanics, electronics, tool usage, and knowledge of physics and geometry that not everybody has. Then, even if you do have all that, there are sometimes special tools and certainly experience comes into play. Even the pros keep techs around at great expense to themselves because maintaining an electric guitar is not always a trivial task, especially fresh out of the box.

Gang, I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread.  It has already run its course.
