Neck and Body of Warmoth build

[HALENisking]

Apologies for the less than stellar pics... but I'm just too darn excited not to post these.
Neck is roasted maple. Feels increcible, doesn't need a finish, and smells glorious :13:

board is Macassar Ebony, body is mahogany with one piece zebrawood top. Not a veneer either, it's about an inch thick at the pickup routes. I'll try to get betters pics up soon

The whole thing is absolutely stunning! The natural wood grains look amazing together!

Thanks man! Even though I planned it that way, I can't help but feel I lucked out with just how good it all looks together :smokin:

Re: Neck and Body of Warmoth build

that fretboard looks CRAZY!
the lack of grain on the right side triggers my OCD though

Re: Neck and Body of Warmoth build

Just a question to all using Warmoth necks - did you find them a perfect fit for your hands or you need to do some custom profiling job (e.g., sanding down) before using them?

I have 3 necks from them and finds that the shoulder (area along the neck close to the fretboard) radius is a bit sharp, especially for their thin-C profile. I have to sand them down until I get a smoother radius before I can use them else the tendons on my thumb will be quite painful after 5 mins of use....:smack:

The 59 profile from them is perfect for me right out of the box

I've found mine feel almost perfect, but I like to have the edges rolled a fair bit, so that is the only thing I do to them other than paint/finish.
