Quick update with a Warmoth soloist salvage/mod/neck build.
I had this buried in my scrap pile where I forgot about it for about five years until it was uncovered yesterday. It was my brothers guitar he tried to finish, it didn't work, and to make a long story short it ended up in the trash with the neck pocket cut off, which is where I rescued it thinking that one day I will finish it and give it back. He had no idea that I took it out of the trash, so I think it will make a nice surprise.
The body was a soloist made for a 22 fret guitar neck and had that uncomfortable squared neck heel.
My plan is to convert it to comply with a 24 fret neck, so the neck pickup pocket is going to have to be moved a little closer to the bridge. Also, I am going to modify the neck heel/pocket to something similar to the Blue Strat above.
First, I am going to plug the pockets, cut out the shape of the neck heel, re-route the pickup and neck pocket and finally build a new neck.
