Warmoth seven string feedback

darren · 04-05-2007, 03:17 PM

Hey, guys

Warmoth now has an "unofficial" message board. I've started a thread over there to initiate discussion with them about the possibility of them offering seven string products we would actually buy.

It looks to me that they may be in the process of phasing out their seven string products. They no longer seem to offer the baritone scale 7-string neck, and they've recently depleted their stock of the Warmoth/Anderson 7-string pickups.

I mentioned the fact that the 25" scale and lack of options for necks/headstocks and bodies have been a major factor in most of the seven string crowd NOT buying the products that they did offer, and mentioned the fact that a number of players here would be very interested in building 7-string Strats.

If you're interested in adding your voice to the conversation, head over to http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com and check out this thread.

Try to keep things positive and respectful, rather than harping on them for what they didn't offer.

You can - see the little tiny non-bolded "skip" text at the bottom?

MORE BODY STYLES, MORE HEADSTOCK STYLES, & OPTIONS OF 24 FRET NECKS IN 24.75 OR 25.5 SCALES WITHOUT THE FRETBOARD OVERHANG.

^ Great. Now head over and tell them that.

Drew · 04-05-2007, 03:59 PM

Dude, we're talking about a seven string strat here - 22 frets only.

Though, last I heard there were rumours they had Ibanez replacement necks in the works. If they made RG7 replacement necks with Ibanez-style headstocks, they'd sell a ton of 'em.

Drew, would you be willing to loan your Squire to Warmoth for measurements? I remember several of the guys at JCF loaned out Dinkys to get the Jackson spec necks and bodies as a standard Warmoth offering. I see no reason why they can't do the same here.
