Anyone have hands on experience with both Fender and Warmoth?
A Warmoth neck is getting the nod for my build....question is, which profile?
A 1-11/6" nut is a must, not sure if I want Maple or Rosewood, and I've narrowed down the styles to either their Total Vintage or Vintage Modern series.
I'm mainly a rhythm player, some licks, not a whole lot of leads and that means barre chords for me. I'm not really sure if I need compound 10-16 radius....I don't usually get that far up the neck except for chording. I have a Fender '69 RI Thinline and love the neck....very slick and comfy.
Interestingly though, my guitar teacher has a Custom Shop Nocaster with a pretty thick neck and yesterday he let me play it during our lesson. It took a little getting used to from my Thinline, but overall it seemed comfortable.
How do these profiles compare:
Fender 7.5" U shape vs. Warmoth Total Vintage 7.5" thin contour
Fender Nocaster vs. Warmoth Vintage Modern 10"-16" Fatback?
I'm leaning towards the 7.5" Total Vintage only because I love the fingerboard on my present Thinline, but I need some direction on the profile compared with it's Fender counterpart.
As always, thanks in advance.
