Me No Happy!

[deepblue]

At long last I got some time tonight to start my Stratocaster project.

I have been looking forward to this for weeks.

 

I bought a light weight (3.9lbs) Alder body in vintage white from Warmoth.

Five minutes....I said FIVE minutes into the assembly I was stopped dead in my tracks.

 

The six screws that hold on the vintage bridge in place had poked through into the

tremolo cavity!...I am not a happy camper!

 

I am using all Fender USA parts, from my old John Mayer Strat, so I know they are the real deal.

The only way those screws should be poking through are if the body is a thinner Fender Squire body.

I have written to Warmoth and want a full refund or exchange. I understand mistakes happen and

I will give them a chance to make it right, but MAN is that a piss off!

 

Thoughts?

Yes get your money back, but could you have used different screws ? and were the screws used in the exact same fender routed body ?

You have good reason to be pissed.

Yes, the screws and hardware in general came from a 2007 John Mayer Stratocaster.

I asked this question to Warmoth before I bought it...

 

Is this a full sized American Strat body, and is it first rate...in other words not B stock?"

 

I was assured its top shelf.

I've done very little dealing with Warmoth, but I always understood them to be good for fixing issues.
