| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: Athens, Greece | | | A quick question for Fender-style Warmoth owners:
Does adjusting the truss rod require removing the neck, or is the rout that I see at the base of the neck deep enough to allow adjustment with the neck still attached (as is the case with Laklands and Sadowskys)?
I'm interested mostly in 22 fret 5ers, if it makes any difference.

Warmoth cream alder body and maple/indian rosewood nitro neck. Sadowsky SC pickups, Fender vintage bridge, fender reverse tuners, Fender pots, Angela Cap (0,47 uF al/paper in oil), vintage fender pickguard, etc...
It actually is my wifeīs christmas present! And I couldnīt be much more happier!!!! Imagine Eddie Van Halen putting up his first Frankestein guitar........thatīs me!!! (My luthier did the hard job.....  ).
Itīs a surprisingly great instrument....true!! But Iīm planing on making some upgrades.......Bartolini Jīs and Hipshot bridge........it depends on how it works in the studio!
The finish on both body and neck is impressive!!! Warmoth deserves all the best! High quality stuff, no doubt!!!
These guys make for sure high quality parts.....I only wish I had more money to spend!!!!
It sure has a place between my Sadowskys and Fender! (and just the way I wanted it!!!!).
I guess this makes my Warmoth number 1! |

Maple/ebony lined fretless neck
Ultralight tuners (need to get a set of black ones)
Gotoh bridge
Seymour Duncan Stacked Jazz pickups
Audere classic 4-band preamp 
Nice bass, and my playing is getting better!

Gecko body in mahogany, neck is 100% birdseye maple but the headstock is a custom shape. Also has a squared-off Fender style neck pocket instead of the angled pocket
The body has G&L L2500 electronics-2 MFD pickups plus pre, 3 knobs and 3 switches.
Black string tree and tuners, gold knobs and straplocks and a gold bridge with black saddles.
