warmoth neck on model body?

[Dreamland_Rebel]

will a warmoth neck fit on a model series body?

i have a model 3 i'm thinking about replacing the neck on.

Re: warmoth neck on model body?

it will fit, but you'll more than likely have a bit of a gap on either side of the neck pocket. warmoth necks have a 2 3/16" heel, and charvel/jackson (with the exception of stratheads)usually have a 2 1/4" heel.

Which is a great big difference of 1/16" [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

I got 2 Model 2s with Warmoth Strat necks, and they fit just fine [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Even the Baritone Conversion neck fits just fine on a Model 375 body [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

yes, it's not much of a difference, but that's an area that you want as tight as you can get it.

Use duct tape to fill the gap. Or wood glue.

or boogers.

Re: warmoth neck on model body?

Oh yeah, me too cause the body I'll use on this project is a Charvel model 2. And I want to know if it can be routed for a reccesed Floyd using the Fender type neck.

Re: warmoth neck on model body?

JT6-era Charvel Model models were made for a non-recessed trem, which means the neck pocket angle is not set for a recessed trem.
Warmoth necks follow Fender's specs of surface-mounted trems only unless you custom order it with the correct heel angle.

No pics just yet - still working on them [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
One's black, neck hummer route added by previous owner, birdseye/birdseye neck, black hardware on head, chrome on body, Dimarzio SD3 bridge/Lawrence L250 in the neck (or whatever that rail thing was that came on Mustaine Pro KVs). The neck also has Stainless Steel frets.

The other is white (faded to cream) with a waterslide decal Flying Tiger graphic (in two parts) with the neck coming out of its mouth. "Plain" maple/maple neck, chrome all over (ran out of black [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) and only one hum. I'm adding a piezo trandsucer to the Floyd, but I gotta find a way to stuff the preamp into the control cavity [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It'll be switched with a push/pull knob [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I already got the transducer on the Floyd, just gotta shim the saddles to keep them from mashing the ceramic. I'll also be adding another piezo to the bottom low E side as it gets a great "wood tone" in the right spot - just gotta make a brace to hold it on [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
