It is a little more complicated than Legos (although not much!)

I am curious why Warmoth is dismissing his issues.
OP probably shot off an email to Warmoth the evening before he posted here and it's not like he's the king of follow-through based on this thread.
To their credit, Warmoth is seriously backed up and even posted a video about their unprecedented workload right now, so the OP should expect a slower response than usual. Even in non-pandemic times, it's perfectly normal to have to wait a few days to hear back from some companies.

He hasn't come back. Maybe he was angry and decided to post this thread in a bunch of places to get people to question Warmoth's quality. None of us can know for sure until he comes back.Administrator of the SDUGF

It was probably something dumb like the truss rod was cranked all they way down... Although in the pictures the neck did appear to be sitting high in the pocket. I suspect we will never know.
I guess we’ll never know.
It got me wondering whether it was a Squier Bullet body as it was a hardtail, but I don’t think anyone would put a Warmoth neck on a Bullet body.

Originally posted by Kavooch View PostRecently received a body and neck. It's taken about 2 months for me to receive all the parts for this build. After finishing the body myself and installing all the parts, the neck fitment is way too high. I can't adjust the saddles high enough for the strings to clear the frets. It's basically unplayable. I took a bunch of pictures and have sent them to Warmoth comparing their product with my American Fender stratocasters and it's blatantly obvious that something isn't right. Regardless, it seems as if Warmoth is dismissing my issues. Any thoughts?

the images show the neck sitting about the height above the proper height equal to the thickness of the neck plate
it could have been his first build and the solution may have been embarrassingEHD
