Warmoth nuts and LSR vs. Graphite tuning stability and tone

Re: Warmoth nuts and LSR vs. Graphite tuning stability and tone

The frets may or may not need levelled. I've owned three Warmoth necks, two were good to go right out of the box, but one needed a level to be even remotely playable with low action. A couple of forum members could do the work for you if you don't mind shipping it. And if you don't mind paying a little extra for perfection, ship it to the nearest repair shop that owns a Plek machine. Remember that compound radius necks are a bit trickier to level than straight radius necks. Or at least, that's been my experience. I'm sure it would be no problem for a top-notch luthier, but the Plek machine will always give you a better result than even the best luthier could do by hand.

"FretFire,
I was going to get the LSR routed from Warmoth so I assume it would be pretty dead on. The neck also has a compound 10-16" radius. After you got yours routed by USACG, could you tell me what the installation consisted of? Was it hard to get straight and correct? Any tips?

Thanks!"

Nonsense.

Pay me as much as you'd pay for a Plek machine to do the job and i'll give you a better result than any machine...
