I know the consensus around here is that Warmoth is worse than death, taxes and mandated vows of perpetual celibacy, but I'm happy with my new neck.
It's a one-piece maple Strat neck, vintage modern construction, satin nitro finish, 1-11/16" nut, 6150 frets, 10-16" compound radius, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, etc., paired with a 2001 Fender American Series Double Fat Strat body, which itself remains stock. Tuners and humbuckers are original.
I still have the original neck, which was rosewood. I always wanted a maple neck with this guitar -- I blame myself, growing up with images of EVH's early maple-neck guitars in my brain -- and nearly 16 years after I first bought the guitar, I now have one.
I enjoy how it feels -- very shred-friendly; it's a shame I can't actually shred -- but I'm still gauging how it actually sounds. I only have about 70 or so minutes on it so far. I think it's at once clearer and somehow *darker* than the original neck, but I'm still not sure.
Pics, to stoke your hatred:
