Help please

Ok here's is the deal, my Model ones neck is over. Broken truss rod [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I need a replacement, I was thinking a Warmoth strat head all maple of course.

I want a flat mounted floyd rose put on the model one. I want NO pull backs at all, just dives. The repair guy said it may not be possible to order a neck that would fit the Model one and it might be next to impossible to make the floyd flat mount with such a neck.

Any ideas of suggestions?
Thanks

PS I posted this in the tech forum too just figured 2 shots are better than one!! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't see why it would be a problem. Normal "strat" necks should fit just fine. As for the trem, you may just want to block it from inside the cavity so that you can only pull back.

The neck pocket on a Model 1 is narrower than the neck pocket of a standard Strat. I have a USA Custom Guitars neck on my Model 1, but I had to specify the size of the heel when I ordered. If you talk to Tommy at USA he can tell you exactly what measurements he needs. The USA headstock isn't exactly a Strat headstock, but with a little sanding it can be.

Sorry, but I'm no help when it comes to the Floyd.

Here is my Model 1 with a Warmoth maple/maple Strat neck. There is a tiny gap on each side of the neck pocket but it is so small it's not worth mentioning (The Charvel neck is 2 1/4" and the Fender size is 2 3/16"). This is my favorite player, the action and feel is awesome.



You should be able to put a top mount OFR on it. You will just need to shim the neck to get the correct angle. I've done it on several guitars.

I would leave the Model 1 body as it is and get another guitar with a Floyd...

Just my humble opinion, actual mileage may vary [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Help please

Hey txcharvel, was your Warmoth neck custom made for you or was it already pre made? I noticed that the end of the fret board after th 22 fret is straight while the one's on the Warmoth site are rounded.
