Members rakester Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 to be delivered? Just wondering in your experience how quick they are in making them and shipping them out thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members k4df4l Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'd email them and see what they say their lead time is...I've only ever ordered in-stock items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badbrain Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 My last neck took 5-6 weeks to build. And when I got the neck it was wrong. Nothing too big, mostly cosmetic stuff, and Warmoth made up for the error. But still, when you are paying $250 for a neck, and then wait 5-6 weeks, you expect it to be right. The worst part was, they admitted the error was theirs, but if I wanted a new neck (to my specs) it would be another 5-6 weeks. In the end I kept the neck, because despite not being cosmetically what I wanted, it was a great feeling and playing neck. I would buy from Warmoth again, but probably out of their showcase, so I know exactly what I getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I ordered a neck from the 'neck builder' on their site on 3/11.It shipped on 3/16 and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, 3/23. This was not an in stock neck but it is unfinished. The finish adds time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rakester Posted March 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Cool I'll shoot them an email, it's a very basic build I'm having done also with no finish on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badbrain Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I forgot to add that I ordered my neck during the holiday last last year, so that probably added to the wait, but I'm pretty sure when custom ordering a neck they quote you at least 4 weeks build time. That's without finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StevePage Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I ordered one of their in stock necks, had them fret it, put a nut on and not finish it. Took just over a week to arrive, would of been quicker but there was alot of bad weather at the time so things got delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schoolie1 Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I ordered a custom Jazzmaster neck from them on 2/22...and I'm still waiting. The confirmation email said the wait was 5-6 weeks for unfinished items. {censored}, if I had it to do over, I would have ordered an express neck from Musikraft. It's only 40-50 bucks more and they don't ream you for features like custom radius, nut width, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BamaKramer Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 took about 3 weeks for them to finish it, and exactly 4 for it to arrive at my door. (that is if it arrives on time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finish adds time. Update: Mine just arrived. 12 days from order to delivery.When I ordered they said it would ship in 7 to 10 days so they were a little ahead of schedule. The neck looks and feels great. Now I have to get to work finishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orange Jackson Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 Update: Mine just arrived. Now I have to get to work finishing it. What type of finish are you doing Pete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 What type of finish are you doing Pete? I have a bottle of Tru-Oil and a can of catalyzed lacquer. I was undecided on which to use until today.I'm going with the lacquer just because I'm too impatient to wait on the Tru-Oil. The lacquer I have dries fast.First I'm painting the headstock. It's gonna be Candy Red to match the body of the guitar it's going on.It's getting a metallic silver base right now (first coat is drying) and the it gets transparent red after that.
