Warmouth has a new improved truss rod adjustment!

[Firebird V]

I got mine a few weeks ago with this feature. It is really cool and functional. I love it.

They offer alot of neck back shapes. I wonder which shape comes close to say a Model series Charvel? I have considered a Wizard II shape. I like the way the Wizard II feels.

I had mine done with the Wolfgang profile. It feels great. Just like a Wolfgang. Very accurate. I had it done with a reverse strathead. maple fretboard... 6150 frets and no inlay at all. I put it on a Wayne body I got from Chuckracer. It is awesome. I have alot of guitars and I keep grabbin for this one right now. Great feel. They did a great job on the frets and the neck was damn straight too. Needed very little adjustment. I put a graphite nut on it and Schaller locking cold tuners. It has a wilkonsons on it too. The neck is fantastic.

I've got a Warmoth neck with the truss adjuster on the side of the heel. It's a Gotoh system I believe (can't find the instructions for it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] )
Anyhoo, it's still got the main screw on the end of the heel, but that's a lock. You unlock it, then turn the allen screw on the side to adjust the truss rod. It says not to adjust it with tension on the neck, but that's probably just so you don't strip the right-angled thread barrel inside the heel (as opposed to actual wood damage).

Yeah, the last strat head neck I ordered from Warmoth had this feature.. At first I was a little pissed, because I had ordered a AAA Birdseye/AAA Birdseye neck and when I got it with that hole on the side of it for the adjustor.... I wasn't too impressed with that, being that the neck itself was beautiful. It just seemed to me to detract from the look of the neck.. but I've grown to accept it and it's really a good idea. It was just a shock to see it when I got the neck, I didn't know what it was for...

I thought to myself.. "What the **** is this!!"

I second Sully's opinion. The standard thin profile feels alot like the '87 Jackson strat I had... In short, a perfect neck profile. I've got a maple/maple CBS strathead with the heel truss rod adjustment. It's not really too much of a bother. If you do decide to get a Warmoth neck, make sure to spend the extra $30 or so and get the stainless frets. You won't be dissappointed.

yep, go for the stainless steel frets! I have a birdseye/birdseye strathead warmoth neck with the stainless on one of my '95 charvel USA strats - it rocks.
