Hahaha! Thanks for watching! Actually that's my HVAC blower! LOL. Laundry room is one floor above. Great observation I was noticing this in another recent video of mine as well.
Nice work Brian! I have a question. On Warmoth's website they say that their Jaguar necks only fit their Jaguar bodies because it has a "Strat neck pocket shape". Do their necks nonetheless fit Fender's own Jaguar bodies?
Thank you so much! Honestly I don't want to say with 100% certainty. When I assembled this project I had no problems whatsoever, but keep in mind that was 3 years ago. Everything bolted on correctly and the fitment was perfect. I would highly recommend calling or emailing their customer service and ask them to clarify what that statement means. The necks are listed as a "Replacement" neck on the website, so I would assume they would fit any Fender Jag body! But...again, I don't want to say for sure and accidentally steer you wrong. It's a big purchase..so you want to get the info straight from them. Good luck.
Honestly the fretwork that is included with the Warmoth necks will get the job done in a pinch. Ultimately it's probably going to need a fair amount of polishing. I didn't experience any sharp frets ends, and I didn't need to level this one. They do a really good job overall, but I would say the fret work is about 90% complete when it arrives.
I’ve always wondered what the normal pre CBS strat style headstock would look like on one of these. I wonder if anyone makes a short scale fender neck with that style headstock
@@CoffeeDrinker71 I did some looking, and warmoth actually makes a 22’ scale neck with the small strat style headstock! On another note, do you know if this neck was finished or not? I know the roasted maple doesn’t need finishing, but I’m not sure about the rosewood
@@royalblue2229 Interesting! No, there was no finish applied to this neck. The only thing that you should really do for the rosewood fretboard is to wipe it down with a fretboard oil/conditioner occasionally.
Hey man. I have two Jaguars I wanted to upgrade with roasted necks from Warmoth. . Could you provided specific specks about your neck please. I pretty much want to do the same thing with some minor alterations but it would be good to know what you have there because it worked out perfectly. -- Thank you.

@@donparkison4617 My pleasure. Great question. I’m always a fan of compound radius fretboards mainly due to my love for Jackson/Charvel guitars for many years so it’s comfortable for me. I’ve also got another Warmoth neck with compound radius on a Strat and it feels like home for me. Having said that, this Jaguar is now with my son in another state so I haven’t played it since it was built. I thought it played and felt great, but I can understand how a compound radius wouldn’t seem too common for a Jaguar....but it was very comfortable.
Hey man! Good question! I am a simple rube myself. LOL. The product is actually called "Screw Wax" and it's sold in hardware stores. It's basically the same as a beeswax lubricant to help ease the screw while being threaded into the neck...or other areas of the body (like trem screws, etc). Thanks for watching.
@@letthereberockpodcast526 It definitely makes the threading process a lot smoother, especially on a neck with new pilot holes that has never had a screw driven into it. I've seen some guys use old bars of soap too...but this is the correct stuff: www.amazon.com/FastCap-T23392-Screw-Wax/dp/B0040NIC08/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=screw+wax&qid=1568142242&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Hi Brian. Nice video, and your clothes in your washingmachine is ready for drying ;-) 6:00

Waiting for my neck to arrive!!!
Hopefully you'll be as pleased with your Warmoth neck as I was. Good luck with your project!

Looks good brother, I know Brad will love it! Now you guys can jam together :0)
Thanks brother!
It looks and sounds beautiful! I can't wait to start jamming on it!
where can I find these metalplates for the tuners? Nice video mate
Thanks!! Those are included in Hipshot's "UMP" system...or universal mounting plate. When you buy a set of their tuners, they are included.
I’m interested in upgrading a player jag with a warmoth. Do you need to do your own fretwork on installed frets like leveling or sanding sharp frets ?

Cool vid. Why no string trees?
Blood Sister thanks for watching. The staggered Hipshot tuners eliminates the need for string trees.

@@donparkison4617 Thanks! Good luck on your project!
At the risk of sounding like a rube, when you were bolting the neck onto the body, what was that you dipped the screws into?
