WiFiGuy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi and thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this thread. After totally messing up the neck pocket route on my first attempt at a from-scratch body build, I decided to go with a finished Warmoth body and I just received it a couple of days ago. Here's my question(s): Does anyone know where to find post inserts that will fit in holes drilled for a .382" (9.70 mm) diameter insert? I can find the skinnier American Standard strat ones and the fatter Floyd Rose versions, but can't seem to find the inserts for Wilkinson / Gotoh anywhere. Is there a "rule of the thumb" with regard to how deep the insert should be installed in the hole? Should the insert itself be installed flush to the body of the guitar or is slightly recessed OK? I have a pair of American Std. inserts that I've placed into the holes and though they don't fit snuggly, they sit slightly below the body. I know I'll have more questions as I start putting the guitar together, and I know from previoius experience that this is a great place to go to get info, so thanks to anyone who replies.

WiFiGuy Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 So far no luck in finding the inserts, but here is reply that I got from: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=53 "I searched around for a while, came up empty handed. Usually you get the inserts included when you buy the trem. Floyds and Start inserts are so common you'll have no problem finding them, but I have no idea where to get the inserts you need. I even tried to find a way for you to contact Wilkinson directly, but they have no site, no E-mail that I can find. So, good luck dude, I can't find anything." Here's a quick tip re the UG forum. Use Firefox as your browser but first install the "adblock" add-on. It will stop UG's annoying pop up ads.

Diffidentia Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 La Traviata? la Boheme? Il trovatore? Turandot? Carmen? Pagliacci? which Opera? Ha! I had that one coming, didn't I? The Opera browser, download it at opera.com, is probably the fastest and least bloated of the 4-5 most used browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
