Will a Fender neck fit on a Warmoth body?
Warmoth adheres to Fender’s® USA vintage/original neck heel and neck pocket dimensions on all models (except when noted). Many other manufacturers have adopted these dimensions as well. Unfortunately, they are not universal…even among Fender® products.
How do Warmoth conversion necks work?
They work by lengthening or shortening the distance between the bridge saddles and the string nut, and offer an easy and inexpensive way to experience something new on your old Fender®. Installing a conversion neck is just as easy as installing a normal neck.
Is building a Warmoth guitar worth it?
Imo, no. There is no resale value in a parts guitar, and when doing custom builds, people rarely get what they want on the first attempt, or even the second. It’s also cost-inefficient. Spending that $1000 on a production guitar will give you a much better guitar than building something yourself.
Do Warmoth necks need fret leveling?
Warmoth does not perform fret leveling. Most Warmoth necks are playable as they are received and do not require fret leveling. However, because wood moves with changes in temperature, humidity and string tension fret leveling may be required.
Can you put a 22 fret neck on a 21 fret Strat?
You should have no problem putting a 22 fret neck on a Strat. The extra fret and overhang adds only . 300″ (3/10ths of an inch). You could also have issues with the pickguard thickness under the overhang.

Why do Strats only have 21 frets?
As far as the 21/22 fret argument, Fenders were originally designed with 21 frets because that was how many frets fit on the neck before the neck pocket ran out. It also places the pole piece of the neck pickup right where the 24th fret would be, so it’s on a nice harmonic node.
