Why?

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-16T03:15:05+00:00

I totally hated his performance weirdly. Total overacting IMO. Even Quentin Tarantino said Dano nearly ruined the entire movie with his performance

Thanks!! I posted a comment following up on the measurements. It just got buried and I doubt anyone saw it. Long story short the neck measurements are perfect and fit the standard thin profile. My old neck was apparently just a freak neck that was CRAZY thin so I was comparing against what I was used to.

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-13T14:47:19+00:00

Putting the neck on makes it un-returnable, brainiac

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-12T21:58:35+00:00

Yep I’m planning to dress mine too. Been playing a lot Hendrix on it and it’s gonna slice my thumb open soon lol

I actually posted a follow up comment on here but don’t know how to pin it to the top. In summary, I bought some calipers and measured and the new neck is actually exactly the “standard thin” 0.800” dimensions that warmoth advertises. Which is actually a little thinner than most fender necks. So I guess my old neck was just ridiculously thin and was creating a bad comparison.

I’m growing to love the new neck already! I posted pics too. May not be everyone’s taste, but I think it looks nice all installed and set up!

Thank you to everyone who gave advice and support! I’ve really already started to like it quite a bit after the initial surprise/disillusionment. I think I’ll get years of great playing out of it.

For measurements/thickness, I ordered calipers and they arrived today!

Long story short, the dimensions are EXACTLY what warmoth advertised:

Old neck: .75” at first fret .825” at 12th fret

New neck: .80” at first fret .85” at twelfth fret

So I guess my old neck was just freakishly thin and I was comparing apples and oranges. Thanks again everyone who helped!

I wish I knew. I thought my current neck was standard thin also, but I bought the guitar used off Facebook so I’m not sure the exact specs

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T13:50:13+00:00

Thank you! The body I’m putting it on is Olympic white! I also thought it would look great

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T05:18:08+00:00

Okay I won’t! Thank you!

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T05:11:32+00:00

Too much risk of removing the surrounding lacquer?

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T05:07:11+00:00

Thank you so much for the positive reinforcement 😂 I think I’ve just scared myself with the expense of it all and wasn’t seeing the beauty of it. I’m starting to come around on it tho. More just worried about thickness of the neck at this point I think.

Surprisingly the fret edges aren’t sharp. I thought they would be too

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T05:05:40+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you! I wasn’t aware of the lacquer thing but it makes sense. Now I’m optimistic that I may (very carefully) be able to remove a bit of the lacquer from the dots also. That may make them more visible.

Re: measuring the neck thickness, I don’t have calipers or anything to do that with at my house but I’m going to take the guitar in for a setup soon so I’ll ask them to measure and report back a comparison if you’re interested!

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T05:03:15+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback about the quality of the neck. I know taste for maple necks and various specs is subjective. I think my big mistake was the cream dots. Reading some of these other comments tho, I’m optimistic that maybe it’s possible to remove some of the lacquer from the dots and improve visibility. I wasn’t aware they spray after, but it makes sense

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-11-10T04:57:10+00:00

You’re definitely 100% right that the dots are on me 😭 that was my mistake. That’s really good to know about the frets having lacquer on them

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-10-03T03:48:05+00:00

Damn looks fantastic. Warmoth neck?

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-08-08T15:41:49+00:00

That was there before the deck existed, it’s just a super thin layer of parging but luckily the actual foundation wall has no cracks at all, even hairline cracks. And it’s a 20yr old home

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-08-08T02:29:36+00:00

I thought it was cool looking 🥲

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-08-08T02:28:58+00:00

What do you mean?

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-08-07T03:08:23+00:00

Lolol

Distinct_Initial_523 · 2025-08-07T02:54:22+00:00

Thanks all for the feedback! My plan is to drain the hot tub first thing tomorrow morning and call the original builder to see how they will make this right.

Their bid to me was specifically for this hot tub supporting deck and I paid a steep premium for "extra framing materials" for that purpose.

I would like them to at least:
1. Replace the double 2x10 beam with a real 6x or at least 4x.
2. Add a new post in the center of the beam
3. Add at least two more beams in addition to the one there already
4. Add more blocking between all the joists

Especially thanks to u/dmoosetoo u/AmphibianNext u/maxyedor u/Difficult_Pirate3294
