@Steve To me they 7 out of 8 necks I purchased were "very level", but it depends what your definition of "Very level" is. Warmoth do not level the frets from the factory. Generally they do an extremely good of engineering the neck and consistent fret installation. If you want the guitar to play like a high-end USA guitar, then you need to take it to a tech or shop with a Plek machine to reach the best possible standard.
Same here. I’ve had mine for quite a few years. Of the 5 guitars I have (Gibson Les Paul Standard, USA Hamer Daytona, USU Hamer Monaco Elite, USA BC Rich Bich Supreme 10 string, and the Warmoth Les Paul), the Warmoth neck is the most comfortable neck of all of them. It’s an unfinished rosewood neck with an ebony board, standard thin contour, compound radius, 25-1/2” scale.
Thanks Aaron and Warmoth! After several years of enjoying various ideas for a project build, I just ordered a custom replacement neck for my Fender MIM Nashville Telecaster build. Wenge shaft, Indian rosewood (dark) fingerboard, reverse right-hand headstock, 22-frets, wide 1-3/4" nut width, boatneck profile and 11" radius!!! It should be a massive beast of Tele TONE for fingerpicking and slide styles, primarily. "It goes to 11!" Thank you to Warmoth for having a true custom order option for guitars! This will be a very unique neck for a specific feel and intended purpose. If it ends up as sweet as I believe it will, other future build projects shall also have Warmoth custom parts!
You guys should do a video on the difference in the thickness of all of the neck profiles you offer. I've got 1 fatback and 3 boatnecks and they feel great. However I bought one standard thin profile neck and it was surprisingly thinner than the image on the site suggests. A lot of forums online tend to say the same thing also, you guys should probably give people a better view on that in a video or something.
Did a Custom Jaguar build with a MIJ Alder body a few years back. I researched necks and decided on Warmoth. I got a flame maple neck with a Brazilian rosewood fret board. I had a vintage tint put on it and had gold frets to go with the TS finish and gold hardware. The neck was perfect in every way. No sharp ends, perfectly level, absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Man that is so cool. I seriously hope Warmoth never becomes yet another mass production factory. You guys are the only people I want guitars from anymore after the cheap trash I’ve bought from some of those other “reputable” brands.
Fascinating video! When I play my Warmoth standard thin Strat neck tonight I will have an extra-special appreciation for it and how it was made. Rock on Warmoth!
Here's a verbatim comment I just sent Warmoth I put a Warmoth neck on a heavily reworked tele several years ago now. It's my favorite electric....and tonight I was running around youtube and saw some demo about you so I just wanted to unsolicited say...that it's the most terrific neck....never had the slightest problems or even slight readjustments with it.....I put a lot of thought into it and you did a perfect job....It is exactly what i was looking for. I always get compliments from players who try it....In the old days you had to adjust to whatever mass produced thing you were trying....but now...you can make your own Stradivari....with some help from you guys of course....plays like a good dream.......Thanks! ***************************** I wouldn't slightly hesitate for Warmoth to help me with any project...the results were so really perfect......They patiently spent the time communicating with me to get it right....3-way calls to Fender at one point...to get the techs exactly right....exact fret dimensions etc. because, in my "perfectionism" after 50 years...I knew just what I needed.....and they did it...in spades! I could not be happier with an instrument that remains my favorite...cliche.....but it's like playing a part of my body it's so correct..... bla bla and etc. But, totally not induced or solicited, or being a rep of their company in any way......The customer service and quality of work are so totally satisfying....that any "nay-sayer" must have communicated poorly....After years of using their work constantly.....I'm as pleased as the first day I put it on.....amazing set of options...and first class materials and workmanship.... If you have an instrument that you can /should modify, (ie. something just bugs you) of course a collector has different motives.....you can try a reasonable competitor, who likely has options that will be compromised in some way from your bottom-line hopes....In my experience you just can NOT beat Warmoth for really getting into it with you to insure you will get exactly the result all your experience demands at this point in your playing... Again, this is totally unsolicited.....Their customer service REALLY listens...and if you KNOW what you need.....you are gonna get it! I had a perfect experience....they even managed to deliver in half the projected time for my super-specific demanding agenda of technical details....After YEARS I remain impressed.... "Do yourself a favor".....if you have been wondering and worrying about some change....... relax...you'll be in good hands....literally....for something that needs to fit like a good shoe....I highly recommend this great group of people.....T
i've got to tell you the last neck i got from Warmoth was absolutely killer. the first one i got was superb, but this second one is just about the best i've ever played or seen, and the chambered bodies are my absolute favourite as well, gg Warmoth.
@Steve no they were fine, i've done three warmoth necks now and they were all very level out of the box , however after a dressing and polish they were ridiculously good , all three had stainless steel 6100 frets , those frets are tough to ding even for the heaviest player they last ages. i played the first neck for a year and a bit out of the box without touching it and it was extremely level to the point i didn't even think of doing anything , then when i finally dressed and polished it with a dremel i kicked myself for not doing it sooner it's just that i didn't realise the neck could actually be better that the excellent it already was.
Great video! I'm impressed by the amount of work that is done by CNC machines, and how that makes for really good necks. It seems that Warmoth also does hand sanding where necessary. And as a result the necks are built to VERY high standards! Excellent!
I’ve had four Warmoth necks over the years. The only Warmoth neck I ever had any trouble with was a mahogany LP neck. Couldn’t keep neck screws from coming loose in that thing, ended up having to drill and dowel some maple plugs in it. Sadly, that neck died when my doggy knocked the guitar over and the neck shattered like glass. However, the maple 24 3/4” conversion neck that replaced it is nearly perfect, and it has some gorgeous birdseye figuring I didn’t even ask for. Love it!
I tried a neck by a different manufacturer once, because it was rather inexpensive. Standard thin, Pao Ferro on maple, 1.75" Floyd nut milled, 22 SS 6100 frets, RHR banana headstock, dual action truss rod. What I got had misaligned holes for the tuners I had contacted customer service but was met with a lot of non response and some pretty rude language. Since I was stuck with it I tried to make the best of it. One tuner was rotated about 12 degrees to accommodate the misaligned hole. The truss rod wouldn't adjust, as if it wasn't anchored at the heel end. They've gone under since (gee I wonder why). Warmoth has proven to me time and time again that their necks are legendary for the quality and countless options made available. I'll never cheap out again.
I loved seeing your products at the NAMM Show. I ended up ordering a Black Korina V body and a Wenge paddle neck to build a King Tut guitar, imagining if he had a guitar what it would look like. It turned out amazing, sold for $2,550, then on the secondary market for $5,250. Its in the Warmoth 2008 gallery. "King Tut Flying V." To honor King Tuts traveling exhibit and Gibsons Golden Anniversary 50th of the Flying V. Excellent experience, I hope to order more from you.
I have two warmth necks and they are the best necks. I’ve had one since the late 90’s I think and I hardly ever have to adjust the truss rod. The fret spacing is spot on with both of them, giving the best intonation possible. And when you first get the neck on your guitar, you will notice a clarity in the notes you’ve never heard before. It’s hard to buy a stock guitar now that in know, knowing the quality I can get from Warmoth, both with the necks and the bodies, at a better price.
Things have changed a bit from when I worked there. I would very much like a quick tour sometime to see how the operation is now. I am sure you have the same high standards that the Warmoth family has always had.
im about to choose my first Warmoth neck. this is the first time in my life where im at a point that i feel like i can justify spending the money for something like this. im really excited, but very overwhelmed. so many options to choose from that i dont know where to start!
Thanks for the video. You guys and ladies do an awesome job! If I had one suggestion as a fellow business owner, I would recommend not charging extra (or less) for the different neck radius and back profiles. Unless there is a hidden factor I'm not seeing that raises production cost. I think it would make your products more competitive and appealing. Regardless, I'll be ordering another neck soon!
@@warmoth That is great to hear! How about thumbs? I kid, I kid. I hear nothing but good things about your shop and products. I will be buying one of your necks when I get to my tele build. I can build a body, but not a neck. Cheers!
I have wanted to buy one for over a month. Very tough to decide what to pair with a swamp ash body. So many beautiful necks to choose from, no I am not paid by Warmoth.
Hi Arron, I love the quality of your necks, I am having problems with neck dive do to using light body’s, is there any way you could weigh your necks like the body’s ?, so I could figure out if it is to heavy for the body and then buy a different lighter neck to match the body weight ?
Look, Jake has handled my emails with a small waiting and a great kindness, in the usual Warmoth fashion. I'm basically only waiting for some fantastic figured walnut to show up, and I'll wait for as long as it's necessary :P
I wonder why they charge extra for a different fretboard radius other than 10-16" when they just use a CNC to do it. I'm a machinist and know you just enter in a different program and presto. Any radius you want.
Perhaps the tooling is more expensive, or it is used less so for them to just get tooling for something not so common incurs more expense? Or it puts more stress on the tool/spindle, so it's compensation for additional equipment wear & tear? Maybe they don't have an automatic tool changer, so when they're doing a run of parts, it takes more time to set up for that oddball size? Not sure just some ideas.
I have worked in the optical field (retail and lab) for years and I often fantasize that I'm building guitars instead of prescription eyeglasses. It has been said that you should do what makes you happy in life. And I think it would be a lot of fun to work in a guitar "lab," where your energy literally goes into what we musicians love the most. Where is your company located and do companies like yours hire without guitar building experience?
You just know when a neck feels right and is working with you, and when one is not and just feels like its nagging at you. The only thing I would add is a rolled edge option, and I mean one that is designed in not just filed one on.
I think I'm going to get a soft v s-style neck. Pretty decent. Made in USA top quality for the price of an import. You just gotta assemble it yourself. Or, there's the option to have someone else, like a luthier do it.
If you need a neck, but it from Warmoth. I’ve never received one that I was unhappy with. Birdseye maple is even better in person than it looks on the site.
The problem is, all our necks and bodies are built around the USA vintage/original Fender 2-3/16" neck pocket spec. It is not possible to build a "native" 24 fret neck while still adhering to that Fender standard. If we did a "native" 24 fret neck, we would have to design a new body to be paired with it. We've done it before, like on our 7/8 S and T-Styles. Maybe we'll do it someday on a normal scale neck too...but there is nothing in the works at the moment.
@@warmoth I've got an idea for you guys. Should be easy. Take the whole baritone guitar thing 28 5/8 inch scale and make it a bass. All you would have to do is put 4 tuning pegs on the headstock and route the bridge for a bass bridge. My Ibanez mikro is 28 5/8 inch scale and it's an amazing bass. Sure would be nice if warmoth made a 24 fret version just using the baritone template. Or can you guys do this now at an extra cost?
Who/why is the big headstock designed as such,slightly off ,but like a 70's F neck?Great company,I have a Warmouth Tele with said neck,it's fantastic....
hi Warmoth, excellent video here though do you have a vid' outlining your process's for Strat' body cuts and shapes? very interested as I'm finishing your brand classic strat body and am very pleased so far and am curious on milling/machining process for the strat' bodies... thanks very much
Thanks for the great info Aaron. I only wish I would have watched more of your videos before I placed my order. One question: Does Warmoth offer a "channel-bound" neck as a custom option?
I was doing something while watching these videos and when Liz was doing the neck inlays I was thinking, "Gee, Aaron has very feminine hands?" "What's up with that???" LOL!
I plan on getting a Warmouth Strat neck (roasted maple), and am curious how much work, if any, is required to level/crown/polish the frets? Is that always a *given* regardless of the manufacturer? On the website, the necks in stock look stunning!
I need a neck for my small hands, really don't know how to ordered it, I got a San dimas charvel that the neck is to big for me, I would like to replace it with one that fits me good, Thanks
@warmothguitarproducts do you think you'll be able to put inlays in like birds or others things? Possibly fully custom inlays within certain parameters
We have all kinds of inlay patterns we can do, that aren't offered on the website. TONS. We plan to offer then from time to time as limited runs. We don't have any plans to do birds though. No plans to offer custom inlays either....too much work involved, and customers would not be willing to pay the cost.
@@warmoth thanks for getting back to me. I'll definitely be watching to see what comes out. I also definitely think that Warmoth should keep letting make custom guitars once a month to showcase what can be done. Keep making the awesome videos
Overall pretty cool, but i cringed at the moment i saw those hands go over the jointer blade. No push block or anything.yikes. thats how my shopteacher lost his finger. The board broke while jointing and his finger found the blade.
Just bought a strat neck today from Warmoth. I bought a Warmoth body a few months ago and made a huge mistake by buying a Mighty Mite neck because it was a $200 cheaper. That neck is a waste of money and time, it might be good if you are looking for a mediocre neck to build a junker guitar or maybe for a kid first starting out. These Warmoth necks and bodies are built the exact same way at Fender, so quality will be no issue. Do it right the first time, buy Warmoth.
Ha! Yep...I wrote and recorded that about three years ago. Now we use it on everything. The name is War Butterfly. I have the full song available on mp3, with a better mix, if anyone's interested.
Each Warmoth neck I received shows excellent attention to detail, and I've never been disappointed. Thanks to all the guys and gals who do great work!
Same here. Love their products.
Same here man, the birdseye maple i ordered was phenomenal!

I wonder why they charge extra for a different fretboard radius other than 10-16" when they just use a CNC to do it. I'm a machinist and know you just enter in a different program and presto. Any radius you want.
They also charge extra to NOT drill neck screw holes.
@@uberaxeguitars5463 thats weak.
@@butteredbiskit3497 Weak but true, $15 to not drill the holes.
You also get charged extra for a finished body. Yet other companies make an unfinished instrument a sort of specialty item.

@Warmoth Guitar Products - Very interesting video, do any Warmoth necks feature rolled fingerboard edges?
The edge of our fretboards is finished similarly to what other manufacturers call "lightly rolled". We do not do what some call "heavy rolled edges".
I was doing something while watching these videos and when Liz was doing the neck inlays I was thinking, "Gee, Aaron has very feminine hands?" "What's up with that???" LOL!
Moisturizer and cuticle care....that's my secret! ;)
I plan on getting a Warmouth Strat neck (roasted maple), and am curious how much work, if any, is required to level/crown/polish the frets?
Is that always a *given* regardless of the manufacturer?
On the website, the necks in stock look stunning!
Would you be able to do a right hand reverse snakehead neck?
Well. I guess building my own richlite neck is out of the question.
Just looking at the SuperWide but will it fit my Squier Mini ? The smaller body doesn't mean the neck is small.
I wanted a mustang/jaguar neck with a vintage 7 1/4 radius but you guys don’t offer it. Had to find a used fender neck and was disappointed.
Hey what hardware is on the sunburst tele at around 0:12 at the end of the intro music?
Pretty awesome, isn't it? :) It is made by Gotoh. We carried it for a limited run of Tele replacement bodies we did, but don't carry it any longer.
@@warmoth Can you guys offer scalloped fret boards too???
Is it possible to install the Jaguar neck on the Stratocaster body?
can you do a solid vs chambered vs hollow test (ideally in swamp ash) please?
I've already done this, which is close: czcams.com/video/I6U6EV7jSyc/video.html
@Warmoth Guitar Products Yes I know, but I have no idea how the hollowbody would fit in there. Do it with a VIP?
What did she have, a boy or girl??? Awesome vid!!!
What? Aaron not at his home studio? 🤯
Cool cool cool
I don't see how running the neck against a drill bit puts the radius on the neck.
I need a neck for my small hands, really don't know how to ordered it, I got a San dimas charvel that the neck is to big for me, I would like to replace it with one that fits me good, Thanks
I wonder what happens if the neck is rejected
what is the Neck shape in warmoth that is equivalent to the new Charvels DK24 necks?
How could someone go about getting upside down crosses as the inlays? The ole St. Peter.
Order a left-handed neck! Hahaha!
@warmothguitarproducts do you think you'll be able to put inlays in like birds or others things? Possibly fully custom inlays within certain parameters
We have all kinds of inlay patterns we can do, that aren't offered on the website. TONS. We plan to offer then from time to time as limited runs. We don't have any plans to do birds though. No plans to offer custom inlays either....too much work involved, and customers would not be willing to pay the cost.
@@warmoth thanks for getting back to me. I'll definitely be watching to see what comes out. I also definitely think that Warmoth should keep letting make custom guitars once a month to showcase what can be done. Keep making the awesome videos
Looks Like Aaron draws his moustache on with a brown sharpie :)
Zzzing...you got me! ;)
How about Leo's other basses? My StingRay could use a new one.
Any plans to add a D profile neck?
Yes! We have one that we plan to release ASAP. Covid-19 had pushed everything back, but as soon as we can we will unleash it on the world.
Overall pretty cool, but i cringed at the moment i saw those hands go over the jointer blade. No push block or anything.yikes. thats how my shopteacher lost his finger. The board broke while jointing and his finger found the blade.
Yeah I saw that and cringed.
wil warmoth ever make 7 string guitar neks
Just bought a strat neck today from Warmoth. I bought a Warmoth body a few months ago and made a huge mistake by buying a Mighty Mite neck because it was a $200 cheaper. That neck is a waste of money and time, it might be good if you are looking for a mediocre neck to build a junker guitar or maybe for a kid first starting out. These Warmoth necks and bodies are built the exact same way at Fender, so quality will be no issue. Do it right the first time, buy Warmoth.
Is it possible to order a vintage modern quartersawn roasted neck?
Please open a factory in France guys !!! 😁😁😁😁😁
is there a option to paint the neck or headstock?
Yes, if you call in.
Any chance there will be more options for compound radius in the future?
Yep.....a really good chance. ;)
@@warmoth can't wait!
Give me a job and I will quit my current one this looks like fun
Do you guys only make fender replacement necks or can you do a ltd/esp since the holes to the body are diffrent
Almost everything we make conforms to the Fender neck heel spec. We don't do anything that fits LTD/ESP guitars.
Warmoth Guitar Products dang 😢, thank you for getting back to me
No mention of roasted necks make this an incomplete video!
Anyone who has been on hold calling Warmoth knows that tune
Ha! Yep...I wrote and recorded that about three years ago. Now we use it on everything. The name is War Butterfly. I have the full song available on mp3, with a better mix, if anyone's interested.
I wish warmoth would offer nitro finishes.

I'm buying a Warmoth Snakehead.
