Weight necks in showcase

[Bruno]

Option "sort by weight" is applied to the necks too?
Trying I see that the order changes but since there is no indication of weight (never) I don't kwon...





p.s.:
(My target? 7.5lbs for a complete solid guitar  :icon_thumright

As far as I know, Warmoth has never provided weights for their necks.  In the past I remember reading about people inquiring about this, but for whatever reason its just not something that Warmoth does.

that's a sin...

Heavy woods are wenge and rosewood in my experience, I'd guess ebony and bubinga too.
"pro" truss rods add about 3 ounces maybe 4. Most necks are really light, it's the tuners that make the difference. The bass necks are like a baseball bat, though (double rod + reinforcement). Get a vintage modern construction and light tuners and you'll be fine.

I have a Warmoth "Pro" standard thin Ebony over Pau Ferro neck that's surprisingly heavy. I don't have any way of measuring it accurately, but it's enough that I noticed it right out of the box.

For interest  :icon_scratch: I just weighed 2 Necks I have here, without tuners on.

#1) Warmoth Vintage Strat neck, Pau Ferrro with Ebony fretboard, Graph tech Nut, SS6115 frets, 1 & 11/16'' nut width, 10 - 16'' compound radius, standard thin. NO finish.

Weighed in at the 'Devil's weight  :evil4: 666 grams = 23.492 ounces = 1.468 pounds

#2) Warmoth Pro Strat neck, Quartersawn Goncalo Alves, Pau Ferro fretboard, Graph Tech Nut, SS6115 frets, 1 & 11/16'' nut width, 10-16''compound radius, standard thin, NO finish.

Weighed in at 685 grams = 24.162 ounces = 1.510 pounds.

Sperzel Tuners Chrome (6 in line) weight is 203 grams = 7.160 Ounces =  0.447 pound

Got another with Sperzel tuners on it & all painted Black on the back & headstock, all maple ... shall return with that weight.  :icon_biggrin:

I voiced this request several years back (you can search for the thread and see the responses from W)

short of the story - the weights are 'similar enough' that it's not going to happen anytime soon. but ... you can always call or email W and have a neck (or more) weighed for you

all the best,
