Thinking about buying a Warmoth neck or body? Watch this video

[@NicholasGreenwood]

I love Warmoth! I've built two instruments, a Strat and a P-bass, and I'm currently working on a third. Great quality, huge range of options, and their stuff typically comes in earlier than quoted. Also, EVERY single time I've ever called Warmoth to ask a question, the person who picked up the phone answered my question directly. There is no, "Let me transfer you to the necks department" or "Let me get your number and I'll have our paint guy call you back". Very knowledgeable and friendly.

[@humblegeorge]

Every thing I ever got from them was outstanding and the end result light years better than ANY strat I ever played.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

I agree %100, this guitar has been incredibly stable. Fender doesnt offer what i want through normal means without going to a custom shop neck which is much more expensive than a warmoth custom build. I have a MIM strat with a flat sawn neck and i have to adjust the truss rod every month or so

[@ik2476]

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Warmoth.

[@SimonT54]

Great video! Thank you! The background music has me hot and bothered !!

[@daneph]

I’ve used many bodies and necks from warmoth and my only complaint is their turnaround time the products are top notch

[@mvp019]

Your strat looks great.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

thanks, im very happy with how it turned out

[@MyLifEcademy-sr4hy]

During Covid I picked up a swamp ash Warmoth body and am now getting ready to build it out...

[@JordanAdameMusic]

Nice, let me know how it works out for you.

[@seanmurphy5988]

I enjoy building guitars I use warmoth custom necks they are very high quality and there customer service is first rate. I have bought necks from other suppliers including fender but was not very happy with the quality of there products warmoth is second to none there are my go to on all my guitar builds

[@eddiestephens5213]

I’m a huge fan. In fact practically all my guitars and basses have some warmoth parts. I also have some from precision guitar kits in Canada and they are just as good

[@danmustardguitar9916]

I have built several guitars with Warmoth parts. The best guitar that I own is a Warmoth neck and Warmoth body. The fit of the parts is perfect and I finished the guitar myself. I chose a conversion scale neck (24.75) with a 1 11/16 nut width and a '59 Roundback profile, paired with a chambered ash body. I have tried this in both HSH and SSS configurations, and it worked well for both. I settled on the SSS version, which retains everything that I love about Strats but with a slightly warmer sound. The short scale makes fretting and bending much easier. Warmoth states that their necks ship without final fret work, but I have never had any issues. I generally have not even had to polish the frets. Exceptional quality.

[@freeman436]

Thanks for taking the time buddy

[@bobpond6381]

Great video! Mentioning the frets due to your climate is spot on. I’ve built 6 Warmoth basses and one Strat and the quality is just great.

[@weslester5150]

Very cool. I just ordered a cbs neck as well.

[@peterbishop9771]

For years, my dream build was going to be done with Warmoth parts. The covid pandemic provided the "right time". I put together a guitar that incorporated all the different aspects of what I looked for in an electric guitar. Strat headstock, Tele neck shape(boat), mahogany body with a quilted maple top. She comes in at 8 pounds and is a real joy to play. ALL WARMOTH.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

That's great, yeah Warmoth really has the best options when it comes to specing out a guitar. Almost anything is possible. Their original design bodies are pretty cool too, I'd like to build something weird next time.

[@peterbishop9771]

@@JordanAdameMusic I think my next build will be a P90 loaded Tele.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

@@peterbishop9771 I think my next build, I want to do an offset style body with a strat bridge and trem system, strat neck but with 2 humbuckers or maybe even a filtertron in the neck position.

[@BSPotter]

I've built a couple guitars with Warmoth body and necks. They are outstanding.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

I agree. im much happier with my build than i would have been had i just got a fender, and a custom shop fender with everything i spec'd out would have been almost 3 grand

[@gskh]

Warmoth = great product!

[@Voltor07]

I have four basses from Warmoth. All are amazing. My favorite bass has a roasted maple neck, fretless ebony fingerboard, and swamp ash Diamondback body. My second favorite is my 30" shortscale bass with fretless Wenge fingerboard on roasted maple and swamp ash Z body. I also have a swamp ash P-bass with maple/rosewood, and a Telecaster thinline body with roasted maple/purpleheart.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

that sounds awesome, did you get carbon fiber stiffening rods in any of your necks?

[@marks2254]

Great looking guitar, well done!

[@TeleCaster66]

My Boat neck came well fretted and is just a great neck.

[@ge1saman]

I have a Warmoth Strat neck, maple fretboard, on a Warmoth strat body. The neck is one of my favorites. Nothing fancy, pretty basic C neck

[@sonoman9095]

It looks amazing! I'm planning to buy a new body and neck. What is your neck radius and frets size? I have a strat MIM hss standard with a 9.5" radius that feels stiff. I leveled its frets, and took it to a luthier for a complete setup and the problem is still there.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

What do you mean by stiff? What gauge strings are you using?

[@JordanAdameMusic]

By stiff you mean when you bend? Like it feels scratchy doesn't bend smoothly? If so you likely need the frets finished, after leveling and crowning they need to be polished

[@sonoman9095]

@@JordanAdameMusic Thanks for your help. A luthier did all the work to the frets (leveling, crowning, and the finish), but for an extrain reason the guitar it still feels stiff (problems for bending). The string I use are 0.09 Ernie Ball. I tried other guitars with the same radious and strings, and are a really soft. Another luthier, told me that is a problem with the radious and the size frets. The guitar has medium jumbo frets.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

Ok, so yes there's a difference in feel with radius and how smooth your bends will feel. But to what extent, is completely personal to the person playing the guitar. I've heard that vintage radius ( 7 1/4 inch) can feel weird but if you have an MIM strat I doubt it's that radius unless it's some sort of reissue or something weird. When you leveled the frets how did you do it? Did you use a radius block with the correct radius? Most of the modern fenders are a compound radius which takes a fair amount of skill and experience to do a proper level on. I'm not really sure what issue you're having without actually seeing the guitar. Can you send me your serial number from the back of the headstock. I can look up the specs and see what it should have. I personally deal with a luthier that has 40 years of experience and there's a lot that goes into having a good playing guitar.

[@robsheppard5353]

I love the color! What is this stain called?

[@jmromero6381]

I have a Charvel that sucked. Put a Warmoth neck on it, and it's a favorite.

[@user-mr7hr9qi6z]

Looks great does it stay in tune? I wondering about this and putting a floyd on it

[@JordanAdameMusic]

it stays in tune very well, im using a graphtech nut and saddles and no string trees with staggered tuners, and even with the bridge floating it stays in tune very well and the neck has been insanely stable.

[@cloudburst1215]

Thank you for the video! Could you please let us know the total cost you had to spend to have the frets and guitar setup? Did you have nickel frets or stainless?

[@JordanAdameMusic]

I went with nickel frets. For a level, crown and polish it was like 75 bucks from the tech I go to.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

All you need is 2 things haha. 1... Some knowledge on guitar modeling. You know, the basics. Soldering. Sanding. Finishes etc etc... Get the parts you need and mold them to your liking : ) 2... Warmoth lol. Got like 5 bodies and like 7 necks from them. Better than fender necks for the most part I'd argue.

[@JordanAdameMusic]

I agree, for a custom shop neck specd how you want it you're gonna pay double if not more. I used to really care about fender on the headstock but warmoth changed that for me. Things have changed alot. Squiers used to be crap, while they still have crap models I've got 2 classic vibe teles and they're great. At the price point it's kinda crazy. I'm very happy with mine though

[@ADAMSTAROT]

I love the beauty of that body after they finished it, it looks like glass, sexy n sleek!

[@kharizaderis]

are they willing to apply their decal to the headstock with a finish on it?

[@JordanAdameMusic]

they can if its not a fender spec neck, but if its a fender replacement neck they are not legally able to, there was a huge lawsuit against them by fender.

[@philliphanford2792]

Did you bolt the neck on yourself? Can I simply bolt the body and neck together with the predrilled holes, put the lags in straight... or is more complicated?

[@JordanAdameMusic]

Bolts right up, fits perfectly
