Re: The Famn Damily

Ha! Well; if I had retained them all for sure. This is more of a running historical thread for me. I have a self imposed limit of 7 electrics maximum. When a new one comes in, generally, a less loved one goes out.

I actually have about 21 guitars myself but I'm trying to downsize to maybe 10 or 12 which seems manageable. I've become a guitar hoarder over the past years of my life.;)

Re: The Famn Damily

Hey, nothing wrong with having whatever number of guitars you're comfortable with my friend. 7 just happened to be the number I arbitrarily chose - an acoustic, a couple Pauls, a couple Teles and a couple Strats. I've gone over that number by one with an Iceman but its simply different and a cool guitar in it's own right so I don't count the acoustic...see how well I rationalized that? ;)
 
Re: The Famn Damily

The Warlock Lightning Sky was a pretty nice player with the ‘91 Gunslinger Maple Board Neck on it. Dan Lawrence Graphic was absolutely beautiful.

Re: The Famn Damily

That USACG looks amazing. What's your experience with them compared to Warmoth?

Thank you! As to USACG vs. Warmoth; I've had two USACG Necks and I dare say the are of better quality/overall final product than the Warmoth. Don't get me wrong, Warmoth is awesome and I have a couple that I have held onto, but the USACG Necks I have had were both phenomenal.

That's interesting. In what aspect? Like fret finish, sanding, woods, etc.

And how long did it take from initial order to delivery?

Re: The Famn Damily

They both just felt better; satin finishes, frets ends and crowns were nice, back shapes were less "generic" and much more comfortable. That said you can more or less spec whatever you want with both companies. I've never compared two necks that were duplicates but one from each company so I'm going off the 2 from USACG and probably 20 from Warmoth that I have actually had my hands on.
