- Warmoth's 7/8 line let's you build a boutique-quality S or T-style guitar that's slightly smaller than normal. They are super comfortable to play, and use all your favorite standard-sized pickups and hardware. Top routed bodies require a Warmoth 7/8 S or T-Style pickguard. Learn more here: www.warmoth.com...
Favorite guitar! Warmoth...please let us buyers build a 7/8ths guitar with a standard strat headstock.
And 22 frets
You can use a Mustang or Jaguar neck with these bodies. Or you can use one of these necks on Mustang or Jaguar bodies. They don’t advertise it, but they’re compatible. Lot of people have done it and there are plenty of those builds.
My two favorite guitars are my two 7/8 scale Warmoth guitars - one is an S style and the other is a T style. I fitted both of mine with 24" Jaguar necks because I love that scale. It just feels way more comfortable in my hands. The smaller body is more comfortable to me as well. And they produce lighter instruments generally which is great for long sessions and gigs. I am hooked on the 7/8 Warmoth bodies. My next guitar will be another 7/8 body but with the 24.75" scale warhead neck.
so you can fit any fender neck there including a normal 25..5" ?
@@mougabo Warmoth states that only their 7/8 warhead necks will intonate properly with their 7/8 bodies, but it turns out the 24" scale Jaguar and Mustang necks will also achieve proper intonation on their 7/8 bodies. 25.5 scale necks will not and are not compatible with those bodies.
@@macrossgeorgeTo use a 24” neck, does any adjustment need to be made to the bridge position? Would I need to order the body without the bridge holes and drill them myself? I’m seriously considering the 7/8 with a 24” neck. My smaller hands would really appreciate it.
@@alavery1065 No, not at all. 24" Jaguar and Mustang necks intonate perfectly on the Warmoth 7/8 bodies. They do not advertise this and they say that you must use their 7/8 warhead neck. I have successfully used Jaguar necks on three different warmoth 7/8 bodies with no alterations. I recently bought a 7/8 warhead neck to try on one of them and the intonation remained nearly exact when I changed necks. Only very slight saddle adjustments were made because I am a bit of a perfectionist. The 7/8 body with the 24" Jaguar neck is amazing for people with small hands. I love mine.
@@macrossgeorge That’s awesome! Thanks for confirming. I’m getting ready to order. :-)
Every time I see the 7/8ths guitar I wish they were 25.0". The black guitar is killer - Sounds awesome!
If you really dig that black guitar, make sure you are paying attention to the Warmoth website next week. ;)
And I always wish they were 24". At least there's good choices in 25" like PRS, you can get single or double-cut, and some nice carved, figured tops... Or not. Plenty of choices in 24.75". There's bupkis in 24" except for offset Fenders. Which are all the same body essentially & only solid colors.
@@warmoth that's a conspicuous non-reply to the 25" scale
@@rangerdoc1029would it shock you if I told you the Jaguar/Mustang 24” necks work perfectly on these bodies? They do.
Larry Carlton, if I remember, had two Valley Arts sigs and they were 7/8. One had and EMG 85 SA/SA set if I recall and the other may have had P90s. I saw him play these live and I remember an interview with Carlton in Guitar Player around '88 or so. I've gotta say, I prefer the Warmoth headstock. I was never crazy about the Valley Arts headstock. I tried some of their axes at Mesa Sunset Sound around '87 and was very impressed with the quality. They also had Tom Andersons which were wonderful instruments. They had the Schechter fat slug coil buckers and singles. Great craftsmanship.
A couple of observations: I have both the T-Style and S-Style 7/8ths. They are both of fantastic quality and beautiful. My S-Style with a 7/8 Warhead standard thin neck fits like a glove, and is simply the best guitar I have ever owned in 35+ years and dozens of high-end guitars. It has completely displaced both my Les Paul and my Am Standard Strat as my go-to instrument for everything. Even when placed side-by-side with a regular Strat, it is hard to tell any size difference. But it is very obvious when playing, and in the best of ways too! The T-Style is extremely nose heavy with the 7/8 Warhead neck. The more compact location of the front and back strap mounts compared to a standard tele body means there simply isn't enough lever force to counterbalance the neck, even with the lightest tuners. My home brew solution was to extend the front strap mount with a very long screw hidden inside a light stainless steel tube to extend the strap button out further towards the neck. While not as aesthetically pleasing as I'd like, it works and makes the guitar comfortably playable. I may at some point buy a Mustang neck for the T-Style and use lightweight tuners, and hopefully that will solve the nose dive issue.
I have an S-style ⅞ build coming that going to look almost like the one Aaron has right there...holoflake finish but with the Wizard neck, 6100 SS jumbos, direct mount HH, roasted flamed maple, reverse headstock, and a tonepros birdge that's recessed into the body. My carvin dc400 has the tonepros like that. It's great for really low action and also reduces the break angle. Theres a video of Joe Walsh talking about how his carvin is built like that. He says "he couldn't even get Gibson to build it that way." When i saw warmoth builds like that i was pleasantly surprised. Its also good for longevity. The usual tonepros build methods can bend/warp over time...
Your review has made me feel really good about my order. Did you build yours completely yourself? Im having a REALLY good luthier build mine. I know most aspiring luthier's are probably pretty decent, but this guy's has done and does work for some big names. He made Walt Becker(of Stelle Dan's) book of musical gear a bit thicker. Dan owned 17 of his guitars. He has some special fretwork he does that he came up with. I was going to leave the roasted maple unfinished, but he convinced me to go with a "Birchwood tru-oil" normally for gun stocks. Apparently its used a lot on guitar necks and body. It seems like its similar to tung oil in feel, but a bit more of a protective coat that makes the flame pop as well. Sry about the long message, but god damn im wantn my warmoth already! Its been 10 weeks and 5 days.
You can put small weights in the body .electronics cavity. Or do as Kiesel does with the hyperdrive have a country weigh drilled into body. .just thoughts
@@kiezersosay49it’s been a year how do you like it?
@@zyxwfish dude I Fn absolutely love it. I spent a bit too much on it imo, but it feels every bit like an instrument that expensive. I got super lucky on an Ibanez rg5320 prestige(in cosmic shadow) 6 months ago and the playability/QC is right there with it.
I was so impressed with how it turned out. I really had and exact idea of what I wanted from playability down to every minute detail. It didn't need one modification past everything I initially bought. Having a rout for the TOM bridge if Fn KEY to super slick easy bending playability. It's like top wrapping, but better. It's better for build longevity as well. There's an old Carvin video on here where Joe Walsh talks about how important that rout is and how Gibson WOULD NOT do it for him.
I dont know if I mentioned it in the other post, but I got another warmoth in a trade that's also super spec'd out and with a different neck/25.5" scale. They both play so different, but so damn good. Better than any fender I've played, but I'm snob for SS frets and I'm not afraid to admit it.
Valley Arts was how I first heard about Warmoth.
I immediately thought this sounded like a Gibson through a high gain amp circuit.
It's the string tension! That's amazing.
Fun fact, the baritone conversion neck fits a 7/8 scale Sratocaster body and intonates properly since the bridge position is in the proper position
I made one long ago using a Warmoth 7/8 swamp ash strat body and a Moses Graphite neck custom made per my specs (custom 4x2 headstock, normal size strat type neck blank but with 24 frets using 24.75" scale (just like described in the video). It is still one of my favorite guitars 35 years later. One other cool thing is that your 5th fret harmonics work for all PUs. They are dead for a normal strat neck PU because the PU is right where the 24th fret should be (therefore, a point of no vibration for the harmonic standing wave). By shifting that PU back a bit, the sound comes through loud and clear. The 4x2 headstock design is more than just cosmetic. It is functional. You get enough break angle over the nut for your E and B strings that there is no need for string trees (and despite the fact that many guitars use string trees for the G and D strings too, I've NEVER seen a guitar that needed it to have a great open string sound from those strings).
Have two Warmoths 7/8 from that period, truly amazing guitars! Giged with them for 25 years...
Standard parts except pick guard ... need special 7/8 pick guard. If you have a trem, worth looking for smaller/weaker springs. My 7/8th warmoth has been my main guitar for 20 years. Love it. Other advantages ... 5th fret harmonic is usually inaudible on a strat/tele neck pickup (because the pickup is right at the "virtual 24th" fret) but it is audible on a 7/8 set up for any pickup.
You guys really do great work!! Always been impressed by your quality and sheer number of options.
The Turtle logo is a throw back to the 70s.
Maybe time to update
Oh, for sure. It screams 70's, and that's how we like it.
@@warmoth you should offer a MOP turtle to engrave on the headstock.
im always feeling like an standart size guitar fits kinda big, and heavy, and even an standart neck to like to big and to big frets to my small hands, but all this downsized stuff is like dream for me :3, what lovely company you are guys, i fell really glad to know about u, now im finally getting a guitar made to my body, only fender japan with their junior collection (where i get my downsized jazzmaster) fender México with the fender lead series (where i get my lead iii) and you guys are helping with that issue to some of us XP
That Black Tele is so extrordinare
Like it? It could be yours: www.warmoth.com/Sweepstakes.aspx?mobile=no
I've got 3 7/8 Warmoths. They are awesome.
I guess that means you really have 2.63 Warmoths.
So your saying there is no limit nice!
Good Lord what a beautiful guitar.
I have a guitar I built from a Warmoth 7/8 strat body and a Moses Graphite neck that used their normal 25.5 22 fret neck mold, but cut fret slots using the 24.75" scale. I like the lower string tension, and 24 frets. And added bonus - you can hear your 5th fret harmonics in all PU positions (unlike a normal strat where the "node" of that sound is right over the neck PU, so it is silent). I did have difficulty with the normal trem springs. It would be nice if they made special springs for this configuration. Of course, for a hard tail, it wouldn't matter.
Really digging the 7/8 th size bodies,very tempting 👍❤️🔥🎉
Love these bodies. I have a 7/8 custom strat from Valley Arts from that era he talks about. It's such an amazing instrument. I need to build a 7/8 tele with their parts!
That's a mean looking and sounding guitar!
I would love for the Regal in a 7/8 body,with a top it would be awesome 👍🎸
Awesome ! so now I can have 24 frets in a 24 3/4 scale neck and 7/8 body!???
Yes, if you use the Warmoth Warhead neck with the smaller body.
@@RoadkillPinata Cool thx!
Love to watch your videos. I have used a lot of your stuff, and I have never been disappointed.
So comfortable!
Beautiful guitar, sound and plays awesome, love the neck and telecaster body shapes
What a spectacular idea! Can't wait to order one!
So you want more business. Warmoth need to extend the headstock range for 24.75 scale neck. Not just limit it to Warheads headstock. At least extend it to the pointy Jackson style headstock. And we can buy a neck replacement for our Jackson/Charvel body.
Or better yet make a fender/baritone scale conversion for a gibson scale as well
I just bought a Gibson scale neck with a strat headstock from them
@@jameshalbert181you just can’t get it with the 24 frets.
@@zyxwfish random
@@jameshalbert181 the 7/8 ones that is
Looks and sounds amazing!
Had to go look up the specs on my Mini Strat.
7/8 vs 3/4 size!
1st off...BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!! Awesome, just awesome! Now...DUDE, when you mentioned Valley Arts it reminded me of when I started working at my second combo music store that had, of all things, Valley Arts!!! Unfortunately the store had already severed ties with Valley Arts because in south central Louisiana they weren't really embraced for the GREAT guitars that they were. I also seem to remember some confusion with the Samick takeover, etc. But they were really great guitars, thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Now, back to the guitar in the video...I LOVE IT! I also would like to know everything in the chain for the distorted guitar sound...that is epic! Of course Seymour Duncan pickups are hard to beat...if they can even BE beat. But I REALLY liked the distorted sound...A LOT!
Thanks for the video and demo...makes me look forward to winning it all that much more! ;-)
Thanks Micky. The chain is pretty simple. Guitar > EVH 5150 pedal > Fender Hot Rod Deluxe > SM57 > Focusrite Pre > Reaper. That's it!
Hello again! Well, I just couldn't stand it any longer, your sound was so nice that I broke down and just purchased a EVH 5150 pedal! Now, I know this is asking A LOT because quite a bit of time has gone by, but is there ANY chance at all that you remember your settings on the 5150? I'd really like to go right there and tweak from that spot. Thanks again!
I wish you did 25" for the neck scale though :| And Valley Arts was so awesome!
I wish they did 24"
I have a valley arts!!! Amazing!
I have a 7/8th Strat built by Sam Sanchez using Warmouth parts over 25 years ago, maybe pushing 30 now. Cherry sunburst finish on a flame maple body, ebony fretboard. It's still my favorite axe, though I think the EMG pickups sound a little dated and may need to be replaced soon :-D
EMG's are great, get the RPC and EXG controllers and the PI2 switch so you can dial in lots of different sounds
Watching this again....I wish you guys had the option to put your logo on the headstock. I'd love that, rather than just a blank headstock.
They come with a warmoth decal!
Real cool information. Thx
WONDERFUL!!!!! I ONLY play 24.75" :) ...oh, and ONLY thin necks:) I LOVE the 90s Charvel and Jackson Fusions and have a nice collection.
I put a mutt together, Japanese HH body with a USA neck and I love it.
My favorite Jackson for sure
Great stuff!
Anyone interested in an 80's Valley Arts guitar should go pick up a Don Grosh, as he was running the VA shop in those days. Hes a great dude and his guitars are killer.
I just love 7/8 guitars because I'm 5'6 lmao
preach bro
Nailed it lol
All I want to know is what is that BEAUTIFUL natural..block inlaw bass up in the left of the screen.. Wow...
Warmoth Mooncaster Short Scale Bass. The parts to build one are available now at a Warmoth website near your. :)
Fun fact. I had a strat made by Valley Arts in '87 and that one actually has the Warmoth logo branded at the heel.
Oooh....I would love to see that! That's a rare bird.
@@warmoth I refinished it a bunch of times. Also the neck, I'm afraid - but just once, though - but for fun, I put a Warmoth decal on it, I had from another project.
Next time I change strings on it, I'll take a picture of the Valley Arts shaped headstock and the back 'heel'.
SOLD
The only thing missing on your neck is a very good looking Warmoth logo!
Btw, once a month, I look at you 7/8 Tele stock, and want to do some kind of a burst by myself. And add some black hardware, like you did on this one. But CDN dollars are quite low these days, and I close my basket after my dream built 7/8 Tele... Another thing: I put on my old MiJ Fender Tele the same set of pickups (killer sound), and will remove them to put them on that dream 7/8 Tele, if I can afford one in the future...!
I think I finally found a electric guitar I really want! Only problem now is saving the money for it😩
And are they 1/8th the price of a full scale guitar? 🤣👍🏼
That tele type guitar sounds mean! Really 🔥
Will the fender 24in scale necks fit the neck pocket of the 7/8 bodies properly? Will those particular necks intonate properly? i.e. is it a pain in the ass to use a 24in scale neck on the 7/8 body or should I just go with the warhead neck?
I so wish you could just throw one of these necks on a standard body. I really love the look of the 7/8 but not a fan of either a T or S style body.
Not a fan of the 7/8 W headstock. Will the 7/8 T & S style bodies accept one of the T style "conversion" necks?
Nope. 7/8 bodies only fit 7/8 necks. Nothing else will fit or intonate correctly.
@@warmoth no worries. Thanks for the response and great videos! 🤘
hope warmoth could release a 7/8 "tele headstock" neck, to fit this lovely body.
Can't. Warmoth is only allowed to use Fender-licensed headstock shapes on **replacement necks**. This neck does not fit any Fender product, so no dice.
@@warmoth Understood, thank you for your reply.
I really wish you guys would offer scalloping for these necks, currently contemplating if I should DIY scallop on a 500 dollar neck... (bad idea)
That fiddle looks very much like a old Peavy Cropper Classic!
Man, great damn video.
Can I parir a 7/8 s style body with a normal scale neck? (could that be a custom option?)
Does this mean that a 24-fret 7/8 neck doesn't require a 24 fret neck pickup reposition that a 25.5" scale does?
Correct.
I have a question ! Is it possible to get the neck pickup in the sweet spot (where 21 and 22 frets stratocasters have their neck Pickup placed) even with 24 frets ? It would be a perfect dream if so !
Will a Warmoth Mustang neck work on a 7/8 body?
Is there an option to put a 22 fret neck on 7/8body ?
No but they make a Gibson scale replacement neck for normal fender bodies which is 22 frets.
This is what i looking for.. 7/8 scale body.. and gibson scale neck..
Do you have 22 fret for this scale?
Tthanks warmoth..❤🙏
Would you consider doing a video of your v styled guitars?
My only complaint is that there is no option for a sculpted heel/neck.
I mean sure I could do it myself, but I’d be afraid to hit the truss rod adjuster?
Does this mean that the distance from the bridge to the neck pickup is the same in the 22 fret guitar? Usually, to get 24 frets, other manufacturers push the pickup back and it looses warmth.
Sweet! Is it possible to build a guitar with a 7/8 body and a full sized 25.5" scale neck? Will it intonate? I love the look of smaller bodies with the longer and bigger necks...
Stay healthy in these crazy times!
7/8 neck and bodies only work with each other. A normal 25.5" neck won't fit or intonate.
Warmoth Guitar Products Thanks for the answer guys! Stay healthy :)
I wish you did a 5/8 or a 3/4. Even this is too large for my son.
Hello Aaron! On the 7/8 strat can you get the standard three pot strat configuration on the pickguard?
FKN SWEET!!!
could i do a build with a 7/8 S body and a long scale neck?
Is the Warmoth 7/8 line interchangeable with Jaguar necks & bodies? Can you put a Jaguar neck on a 7/8 Strat body without any problems?
How much lighter is the T-Style body?
It varies. On the average they will be lighter than the full size counterpart, of course. If you look through the Warmoth In-Stock showcase, the weight of each body is listed in the specs: www.warmoth.com/Pages/ClassicShowcase.aspx?Type=101&Path=78Series&Body=2&?mobile=no
I’ve been looking to build a Gretsch-style Red Special lately. If I buy a 7/8 neck from you guys, would I be able to rout a body blank with the standard strat (or tele) neck pocket?
Can you put a 25.5” neck on a 7/8 body or will they only intonate with the 7/8 (24.75”) neck?
7/8 bodies only work w/ 7/8 necks. A 25.5 scale neck won't intonate properly.
Nice riffage, dude.
And would you offer routed (pus and bridge or even just bridges) body blanks with 7/8 dimensions ? In the same idea would you sell blank headstocks (possibly with an angle) ? Thanks ?
Will a 7/8s S style body work with the conversion 24 3/4" Strat neck? I'm wanting to build another Charvel / Strat guitar with smaller body if possible and gibson scale with 2 humbuckers and gotoh floyd. I don't know also if warmoth will drill and route the body for a Gotoh bridge. It's much cheaper and made in Japan and even Suhr uses them instead of German floyds they are so good. I've had Gotoh floyds and they are outstanding and like 120 bucks. Like half a real floyd with better arm insertion and abilities, etc, imho.
Great vids. Thanks for these..
I built a Jackson Fusion has 24 3/4 USA bound ebony w/sharkfin neck and a Japanese dinky HH body
I put in Jazz/Distortion combo and Original Floyd Rose all in
Hi folks and Warmoth. Have been searching for long, and still wasn't able to get exact answer, may you please help? The question: will standard Fender replacement neck (25.5") or Fender conversion neck intonate in S-type 7/8 Warmoth body? What I am looking for is 7/8 S-or-T Warmoth body with tiltback 24 3/4 warmoth conversion neck. Will that work? Please help. Thanks.
So, You supplied Valley Arts with the part's and they just put'em together? All these year's I thought they were the guitar GOD.
Sort of. We supplied parts for certain models, yes. But they didn't just "put 'em together", so to speak. They added a lot of value in assembly, fret work, and set up.
@@warmoth I gotta tell you , buddy of mine picked-up this Green, Strat looking, H.H. that said Valley Arts Custom Shop on it (didn't have a clue) with EMG pickup's. So I loaded-up my Marshall JCM 800 (2204) and headed over to check it out. Plugged-up and the Magic started! What we were hearing was amazing, it just played like Butter as well. He said "I gotta buy your amp"! I said "I gotta buy that Green Valley thing" but Nope. Just wondered if you guy's supplied that work-of-art, Thank's
Aaron, what song were you playing at 6:03 - 6:27?
That's the riff from an Aaron Cheney original called "Storyteller". You can check more of my songs out at aarontunes.com.
I know that using a standard size body won't intonate with the neck, but would the same be true if I wanted to use a 25.5" scale neck with this body? (Me and 24.75" scale necks just don't get along.)
That would not work. These bodies and necks are designed to work with each other only.
Warmoth Guitar Products ahh well, it was worth asking. My quest for a dinky style tele continues. 😂
Awesome video! I've always wanted to hear how much the scale actually changed the tone, all other things being equal. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, though, is if the tone would sound even darker on a 24.75" scale guitar if a brighter body wood (like alder or ash) was used. Just wondering if the tone in this video got only a smidge darker because the mahogany is already pretty dark, and maybe the law of diminishing returns kicks in with a brighter wood.
I am surprised nobody answered you 2 yeara ago...but...The wood has no effect on the electric guitars tone. This has been scientifically tested and verified using oscilloscope and all kinds of audio analysis. It can effect sustain. Pickups aren't microphones and will never pickup any influence from wood. They simply react to the vibration of the string over a magnetic field. Tone wood only exists in the acoustic guitar realm. Hope that saves you some money in your future purchases...if it's got fancy body wood and a non transparent paint job...you've waisted your money.
@@DanielColborne Have you watched their body wood video comparing the different tonewoods? They sounded different to my ears, but I'm no oscilloscope.
@@zacharybachand7023 I'm no scientist...and I don't own the equipment to do the tests myself...but if that video was done in the same manner as PRS did their video on it (tapping the different woods next to a microphone and hearing that they sound different) it has no actual effect. I'm still a sucker for fancy wood though.
So how much smaller is a 7/8s body than the standard s style body
Thx for a very informative video as always. But I have one question. I wonder if I'm going to have intonation problems if I place a 24" Jaguar neck instead and will it effect the tone much?
I'm thinking the other way around- putting one on a Jaguar body so the strings aren't so floppy.
@@trevordeke I mailed warmoth about if the Jauguar neck will fit and they said it will 100% intonate. I don't know the other way around but you can send a email to them. sales@warmoth.com is their email adress. They answered me after 3 hours
@@MrHandsomeStudios The reason I am hesitant is that the Warhead headstock doesn't have any back tilt to increase the string tension like a Les Paul.
@parallax3d Nice!
Has anyone noticed that 7/8 guitars sound brighter than their full-sized counterparts? I’m trying to make a decision between the two, any insight would be helpful!
I have played a bunch and I haven't noticed it.
Warmoth Guitar Products Thank you, if there are no tonal differences I know which one I’m going with
Would love angled headstock as option on that 7/8 neck! And carved tops too.
+1 on the tilt headstock.
+2 on a tilt headstock!
I want these, but superwide, for my dad. His fingers are sausages, easily frets two strings with a fingertip, hard to play cleanly on normals. Now that his hands are arthritic, he wishes there was a short scale he could actually play.
What is the name of the body finish? I like the whole thing, but I particularly like the finish. You don’t see a black with the flake effect in it very often.
Holo Flake. It's a regular menu item.
Is a 7/8 S-style body similar to a Charvel Dinky/DK body?
What color is the tele played? Black sparkle? Is that color available? The whole guitar looks awesome. Can you please write out the specs on it?
That color is our new Holo Flake finish, which is now available on any Warmoth guitar or bass body. We did a whole video on Holo Flake here: ruclips.net/video/0KC5CGaxdqU/видео.html&t= Also, if you dig that guitar, *make sure* you are paying attention to the Warmoth website, starting on 6-26-18! ;)
Holo flake is soooooo beautiful, oh my god why I'm so poor right now? ''emotional breakdown''
Can you get a Warmouth 7/8 hardtail strat type body and neck, rear routed, with a tunomatic style bridge, and a reverse headstock with staggered peg pole pieces to get rid of the string trees?
With a Les Paul volume tone configuation and the PU selector on the lower horn?
Nope.
Why not a 7/8 s or t body with a 24” scale neck? Squier makes it but ok low quality guitars and Fender ones are out of production.. need one! Thx
The Warmoth Mustang 24" neck works fine. There are several blogs and even a few RUclips videos discussing and showing that combination.
Is it easier to play in 7/8 with these bodies and necks?
@Warmoth Guitar Products - Can you also use a Warmoth Gibson Conversion 24 3/4 Tele neck on the 7/8 Warmoth Tele body?
Nope.
Not enough Van Halen !!!
Hehehe
What’s the diff between a 7/8 body to full size? Lighter weight. Feels smaller when playing sitting. Tonally? Am I missing anything?
That's it, you nailed it. No tonal difference. Just smaller and lighter, with a built-in 24-3/4" scale length.
Please make a 25" version. Please please please please!
Can I have the smaller body with a regular 25.5 neck?
Nope. 7/8 bodies only work with 7/8 necks.
So presumably standard strat pickguards wont fit the 7/8 body?
Correct. We offer 7/8 pickguards for the 7/8 bodies.
John Lennon played a short-scale Rickenbacker (only 20.75”) on the early Beatles stuff, and when they played on The Ed Sullivan Show. It didn’t matter to all those screaming girls, and the legions of young viewers who took up guitar.
They look so cute
So is this basically a Gibson scale with extra frets?
Yup. And the bodies are slightly smaller than normal.
does the neck fit into other body shape? for instance, a soloist body with 24 frets, does it require a pick up relocation with this 7/8 neck?
Warmoth Guitar Products sweet!
playeryin good question, I'm curious as well
No, this neck will not intonate properly on 25-1/2" scale bodies. If you want to change your 25-1/2" scale body to 24-3/4", we have a different neck for that, called a "Gibson-scale Conversion Neck". Here is a video on how they work: ruclips.net/video/iHiJAOPYJH0/видео.html
