To answer your other questions (sorry, I missed them in my first reply), the guitar sounds surprisingly “Fender”-like, even though it’s loaded with the Seymour Duncan humbuckers. I would describe it as a classic Fender tone, from a slinky strumming rhythm sound, to heavy crunching and some really expressive, sustaining lead tones (longer sustain than Strats and Teles). The two 3-way switches can be wired in MANY different pickup configurations, enough to keep anyone happy for a lifetime.

I used this guitar to record lead parts on the Benedict Arnold & the Traitors album “Star Spangled Bummer”. I believe I used it on the song Hello Baghdad.

The Warmoth neck has a larger radius (flatter fret board) than the standard original Fender Mustang/Jagstang neck. Actually, my neck has a compound radius, meaning it’s a little rounder near the headstock, and gets flatter as you move up the neck. This makes for easy chording down the neck, easier lead playing higher on the neck. It really works great. -AJ
