In a nutshell, i wish there was more open unbiased discussion on warmoth necks before I bought it. With modeling was more obvius as more friction and fingerboard thump noise was added. That combinaning with low jumb fret stoped the guitar fron singing and easy of slides and made the piezo more clickey. As I'm a proud user of firmware 1.71, the acoustic gained more omph for struming and finger comping but lost sustain as the roasting (as advised on their web) makes the wood much lighter. The literature around this concept didn't work for me, sorryī) I chose roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Now here is where I did a mistake and warmoth had NO fault hence am sharing my experience here:Ī) I ordered their famous compound radius. The neck + refretting = buying another intrument if the buyer is unhappy. Getting what you want isn't hard.Ī) their jumbo is not the same size as strat, and way lower than JTV. You'd be replacing them eventually anyway.Īnd for those who are considering one, Warmoth offers 4 or 5 different sizes of fretwire, for which the precise dimensions are all supplied. Preference is a funny thing, and you like what you like.but the entire neck isn't a throw-away just because you didn't like the size of the frets. However if the music you play is metal, punk or junk with heaps of distrotion. In case you dont like what you ordered be prepared to loose hundreds I did that mistake and now the original is back and i will sell the warmoth.yep is hard to sell this necks. Do not get the compound radius if you like your runs. Because if you go bananas with the literature ,You will loose sustain and the models and electry will sound very thumpy/click as your fingers will have a much closer contact on the finger board as their jumbo frets are way smaller. If you are unhappy with the E string sliping of, then only change that. In another words, when building your neck keep what you like the same and ONLY chancge what you don't. Make sure you order warmoth tallest fret because their jumbo does not match the height of the variax. Okay if you currently like the sustain, the freets, and the easy of runs (due to the flat radius) on your original 69 jtv. Ok my advise to the new neck club if considering warmoth neck replacementīut before any fans of warmoth vents their anger at me, this is was my own experience. Would a Warmoth Strat neck slot straight into a JTV 69 without any modification.? I'm not affiliated with them in any way, I just own several, and really like them. You can get something really nice for $250-$300.no need to go crazy. The more "plain Jane" ones start around $175, on up to $600+ for the fancier stuff. At any given time there are at least 100 or more in stock already done, or they'll start one from scratch, though that'll cost a little more. Numerous woods are available from the mundane to the exotic, nut width, radius, profile, fret wire (I suggest going stainless, you'll never need a grind and polish again), finish, fret markers, route size for the 's all your choice. You'll spend a little more, but everything is up to you. If you really want options, look at Warmoth. The company "CEG Hardtails" that the OP mentioned seems to have access to some of the more "premium" stuff from Mighty Mite, prettier cuts of wood, and they dress and polish the frets, so it bumps the price a bit from what I've seen on their site. If you order straight front Stew Mac, they're around $125 or so, last time I looked.give or take a little depending on where you go with a maple or rosewood board. A bunch of guys on here have gone that route, with good results. There's nothing wrong with the Mighty Mite necks. Have done some minor research on necks but suggestions would be appreciated. Just curious of what fair costs would be involved to do what was done in this post original post. Might be cool to have both rosewood and maple neck options on a JTV. Thinking that once I receive the US JTV I may change the neck on my Korean 69s. On the other hand, I have been steered toward the Might-Mite by more than one source. Wish you were here for me before I ordered a US Custom 69.
