Warmoth Neck Identification Help

[ryacques]

Hello all,

I bought a guitar off CL and the gentlemen said he got it re-sale and it was like 20 bucks. I knew the fretboard felt like Ebony so I took it apart and found the below.

Can anyone ID this?

Cheers,

Looks like Ebony over Maple. It's stamped "Warmoth Radius", which means it has a 10" to 16" compound radius fretboard. Fret size is usually wandwritten on the heel as a 4 digit number you can match up on their website. The heel adjust for the truss rod means it's either a "Modern" or "Vintage" construction, with the Modern having a side-adjust as well. There are no model or serial numbers, but you may find a stamped number that basically means nothing. It's an internal production control number.

To add to the above I think it is more likely a modern construction as there is no skunk stripe at the back of the neck. So it should have the side adjust as mentioned.

Keep in mind that old modern necks did not have side adjust, but still had no stripe.  Cant recall if they were heel adjust thoigh

I have a modern neck that I purchased mid-90s that looks very similar.  Heel adjust only, with the squared off fretboard overhang.

Hey, did you email The Big W? I 'magine they might have records or could decode the algorithm so you can get down with YOUr rhythm. Their necks are straight farm-to-nug.
