Warmoth G5 body

[Richardnbm]

I'm having a custom neck built and I'm told this body does dot support a 35" scale but the Gecko body does. I think Warmoth should put out a warning.

Why not? Are they too short? Is there no way a bridge can go back enough?

You were told by whom? Ask Warmoth.

Says so right on the website. G5 is 34" scale, Gecko is 35".

Gecko bodies and necks are proprietary. They only work with each other and aren't meant to be interchangeable with any other parts.

The G5 uses Fender's Deluxe 5 neck pocket specs, and it's meant to be use with Fender D5 necks.

The G5 body is shorter than the Geko. The Geck body can support 34 or 35 inch scale but the G5 can only do 34 inch scale. I Did'nt know until my Luthier contacted me about it.

To short.

I'm told short scales have excellent bass tone.
