ruinerr Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I intend to undertake my first guitar project by ordering parts off warmoth and modifying them to how i want them. Have a few questions - Are the warmoth parts of good quality? - The neck heel seems really fat to me is it bad and hinders playing? - The intended guitar will be a 7string, does the body need to be bigger or its just routing for the neck pocket and trem? - Finishing, what sort of tools are needed? Ta for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Rosenberger Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Warmoth makes 7 string parts. The quality is excellent. USACG is good quality too but I don't know how long the wait is. Warmoth stocks most of their popular styles so you won't have to wait as long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Librero Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 isn't the neck heel standard-sized? you can always go for the contoured heel option. finishing is extensively discussed in another part of the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Warmoth products are superb - I'm currently building my second guitar using Warmoth parts and I've been very impressed. Not cheap, mind you (especially when you live in the UK and can add £30 customs and tax onto the price of a neck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdjr74 Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I personally like working with warmoth parts. Their bodies and necks are well made but they do get a little pricy. I've built 3 guitars with warmoth bodies and necks and every one came out great. The heel on the last one was big so I contoured it like a AANJ and it works great.
