Word, Wired or Weird? Wyrd!

After owning my Warmoth manufactured Stratocaster style guitar for a while I opted for a neck upgrade. While I never experienced a Warmoth neck failure, I did prefer to move away from the double expanding truss rod and the compound radius.

Best Guitar Parts, the makers of the Wyrd line of solid body electric guitar parts, was contacted and a Wyrd paddle head guitar neck was ordered. I was able to choose from a long list of options but the icing on the cake was the variety of neck back shapes and sizes. I opted for just a bit thicker than standard.

My distaste for glossy finishes helped finalize the decision to upgrade to a rosewood on rosewood neck. Other than a really light coating of lemon oil no finish has been or will be applied to the neck.



Outside the custom headstock shape work no special assembly was required. The neck to neck pocket fit was perfect. The neck responded well to the truss rod adjustments. Having excercised my option to spec a slightly thicker neck means this axe now fits me. And the guitar plays just a bit better than when it wore it's previous neck.

Summary: Rock solid.
