Warmoth 7/8 Guitar Bodies and Necks 

Yes, if you use the Warmoth Warhead neck with the smaller body.

@@RoadkillPinata Cool thx!

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.

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

preach bro

Nailed it lol

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. :-)

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.

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.

Like it? It could be yours: www.warmoth.com/Sweepstakes.aspx?mobile=no

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.

No but they make a Gibson scale replacement neck for normal fender bodies which is 22 frets.

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! 🤘

I guess that means you really have 2.63 Warmoths.

So your saying there is no limit nice!

I wish they did 24"

They come with a warmoth decal!

EMG's are great, get the RPC and EXG controllers and the PI2 switch so you can dial in lots of different sounds

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

Correct.

7/8 bodies only work w/ 7/8 necks. A 25.5 scale neck won't intonate properly.

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. 😂

It's coming soon....stay tuned!

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!

Nope, not at this time.

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!

That's the riff from an Aaron Cheney original called "Storyteller". You can check more of my songs out at aarontunes.com.

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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iHiJAOPYJH0.html

@Leon thecat partially true. There IS a difference between guitar sounds based upon what the guitar is made from. That's just fact. And how it's shaped. Ever play a Les Paul then compare to a Strat? No? cmon, everyone knows this. NOW, the guys and gals who have actually PLAYED these guitars and the different woods and used them PERSONALLY, know there is a difference in sound. Okay, NOW.... will buying a replica of Ed's Frankenstein guitar make someone sound like Ed? Only TONE-WISE. The note choices and ability depends almost entirely upon the person. For me, I want to be able to choose from a lot of options. Because I can hear and feel the difference.

@Leon thecat You admit that the guitars have DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPONENTS which contribute to the fact that they actually do SOUND different from each other. Thanks for admitting that truth! Now, go buy about $3000 of various parts and pickups and experiment. You will find that putting the SAME pickup into a DIFFERENT guitar will give you a different sound if the two guitars have much different body woods. But you'd already know that if you had REAL WORLD experience, which you obviously don't.

@Leon thecat I put a Gibson PAF in two diff guitars and got RADICALLY different sound. One was amazingly hollow and just gnarly. Put it into another guitar, nothing, Go figure.

@Leon thecat no, it was a genuine Gibson PAF ($150 from Gibson). Regardless, the tone was much different in two diff guitars.

It's an actual song....it is the opening riff from an original song of mine called "Storyteller"....copyright 2017 Glowing Moustache Music. :) Incidentally, the riff at 0:14 is another of my original songs, called "Last Stop to Eternity", and the riff at 4:22 is an original country song call "A Lotta Bull". I have written SO MANY original songs over the last 30 years! I should start playing them all in the videos.

certainly dokken inspired ;)

That's it, you nailed it. No tonal difference. Just smaller and lighter, with a built-in 24-3/4" scale length.

Warmoth Mooncaster Short Scale Bass. The parts to build one are available now at a Warmoth website near your. :)

Nope.

No. 7/8 bodies only work with 7/8 necks.

Correct. We offer 7/8 pickguards for the 7/8 bodies.

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

The Warmoth Mustang 24" neck works fine. There are several blogs and even a few RU-vid videos discussing and showing that combination.

Nope. Warmoth's 7/8 bodies and necks only work with each other.
