Anyone know these necks compare with warmoth?



Actually I've seen good & bad work from them, they're actually less consistent than Warmoth and charge more to boot!

Check-out their prices, $95 upcharge for SS frets compared to Warmoth's $20 upcharge and they are upfront about their necks needing additional fretwork on the buyers end...

:rolleyes:

Warmoth occassionally needs touch-up, but USACG necks are good to go out of the box!

Just found out mighty might is gonna offer stainless steel frets on their necks for $20. Obviously they don't have the huge variety of options like warmoth but if they do have quality necks its great they are offering ss frets. Should be available within a few months.

i want to add that if you get a maple neck with ss frets and get the neck finished, you'll have to take the finish off the frets.

i bought a birdseye maple tele neck from warmoth with ss frets. i had them put a vintage gloss finish on it. it was a bear to trim the finish off the frets. it sounded terrible till i did it.

if i would've known they completely finish frets and all with the gloss, i would've went with a rosewood neck.

no problems on rosewood necks. thats the way to go. i love my ss frets

Same here. Luckily I had clear satin finish applied, so it wasn't that bad.


This is a sweet looking rosewood board, though:
