I bought a Licensed Warmoth Strat neck of birds eye maple. Is this neck as good as it gets especially for the money? Find out in this close up review.
What you will learn:
How good is the quality?
Were the specifications correct?
Do the frets need work?
Is the wood properly dried?
Am I able to make choices of fret types?
Can I buy an unfinished neck?
Are there many wood choices?
Is there any guarantee?
What if something goes wrong?
Over the years I have made about six or seven guitars for myself. Often Fender types (because they are easier to create successfully) and I have used genuine Fender parts either brand new, or from stripped Fender guitars, or alternatives that are Fender licensed from companies like Warmoth who are based in Seattle.
At first I was like most guys, a bit careful about buying from such a distance (I live in the UK) but I need not have been. The first neck I bought did have something to be desired regarding the fret ends and I had much work to correct those ends that were honestly not very well finished. But those sort of things are a thing of the past thankfully.
Since those times I have had excellent service from Warmoth (beginning in around 2010) and I have never had to send back a single item for any reason. I tend to buy the better components, but surprisingly Warmoth make things like guitar necks literally from about £100 (or $160) which is exceptional for the quality that you get.
This particular neck featured here cost $340, but I do also have to pay for shipping and for the UK's 20% tax thanks to being a member country of the EU... but not for long :).
Check out this purchase of a Warmoth birds eye maple neck and see just how good it really is.
I bought this neck and the video is completely unsponsored by anyone - these really are my own views based on buying the equipment personally.
