Warmoth 7/8 Guitar Bodies and Necks

I had a 7/8th Squire years ago.. was always my "grab to sit on the couch and noodle" guitar.. wasn't until after I sold it that I realized it was 7/8th size, which explained why it was so easy to play in odd positions ;)

smaller does not mean lighter , right ?

Has anyone attempted to fit Musikraft's true 24-fret, 25.5" scale neck onto Warmoth's 7/8 body? I am curious to know if it will intonate correctly.

Please make this with a tilt back headstock

I think Warmoth can improve the 7/8 design with 22 frets so you can shift neck pickup closer to neck and increase distance between neck and middle pickups to improve tone IMHO. Yup I’m a 24.75 S guitarist. Expensive life path 😢

Does anyone know which Warmoth neck profile is closest to the Valley Arts?

Bring back 7/8 necks with Fender headstocks!

Neck dive though 😢

The Turtle logo is a throw back to the 70s.
Maybe time to update

Fun fact, the baritone conversion neck fits a 7/8 scale Sratocaster body and intonates properly since the bridge position is in the proper position

I want a 9/8 tele

My two favorite guitars are my two 7/8 scale Warmoth guitars - one is an S style and the other is a T style. I fitted both of mine with 24" Jaguar necks because I love that scale. It just feels way more comfortable in my hands. The smaller body is more comfortable to me as well. And they produce lighter instruments generally which is great for long sessions and gigs. I am hooked on the 7/8 Warmoth bodies. My next guitar will be another 7/8 body but with the 24.75" scale warhead neck.

Can I parir a 7/8 s style body with a normal scale neck? (could that be a custom option?)

Larry Carlton, if I remember, had two Valley Arts sigs and they were 7/8. One had and EMG 85 SA/SA set if I recall and the other may have had P90s. I saw him play these live and I remember an interview with Carlton in Guitar Player around '88 or so. I've gotta say, I prefer the Warmoth headstock. I was never crazy about the Valley Arts headstock. I tried some of their axes at Mesa Sunset Sound around '87 and was very impressed with the quality. They also had Tom Andersons which were wonderful instruments. They had the Schechter fat slug coil buckers and singles. Great craftsmanship.

Is there an option to put a 22 fret neck on 7/8body ?

could i do a build with a 7/8 S body and a long scale neck?

Can't do Tele Custom style in 7/8?

Does this mean that a 24-fret 7/8 neck doesn't require a 24 fret neck pickup reposition that a 25.5" scale does?

Can you put a 25.5” neck on a 7/8 body or will they only intonate with the 7/8 (24.75”) neck?

Hello Aaron! On the 7/8 strat can you get the standard three pot strat configuration on the pickguard?

I would love for the Regal in a 7/8 body,with a top it would be awesome 👍🎸

I wish you did a 5/8 or a 3/4. Even this is too large for my son.

I want these, but superwide, for my dad. His fingers are sausages, easily frets two strings with a fingertip, hard to play cleanly on normals. Now that his hands are arthritic, he wishes there was a short scale he could actually play.

im always feeling like an standart size guitar fits kinda big, and heavy, and even an standart neck to like to big and to big frets to my small hands, but all this downsized stuff is like dream for me :3, what lovely company you are guys, i fell really glad to know about u, now im finally getting a guitar made to my body, only fender japan with their junior collection (where i get my downsized jazzmaster) fender México with the fender lead series (where i get my lead iii) and you guys are helping with that issue to some of us XP

Is a 7/8 S-style body similar to a Charvel Dinky/DK body?

Can I have the smaller body with a regular 25.5 neck?

Has anyone noticed that 7/8 guitars sound brighter than their full-sized counterparts? I’m trying to make a decision between the two, any insight would be helpful!

Favorite guitar! Warmoth...please let us buyers build a 7/8ths guitar with a standard strat headstock.

So how much smaller is a 7/8s body than the standard s style body

Do you want to sell the old VA neck lol?

Will a Warmoth Mustang neck work on a 7/8 body?

where can I buy one!? :D

I so wish you could just throw one of these necks on a standard body. I really love the look of the 7/8 but not a fan of either a T or S style body.

And would you offer routed (pus and bridge or even just bridges) body blanks with 7/8 dimensions ? In the same idea would you sell blank headstocks (possibly with an angle) ? Thanks ?

Would love angled headstock as option on that 7/8 neck! And carved tops too.

If I wanted to put on a different warmoth 24.75 neck on the 7/8 body will it still work?

Will a 7/8 24 fret neck work with a standard fender body?

I made one long ago using a Warmoth 7/8 swamp ash strat body and a Moses Graphite neck custom made per my specs (custom 4x2 headstock, normal size strat type neck blank but with 24 frets using 24.75" scale (just like described in the video). It is still one of my favorite guitars 35 years later. One other cool thing is that your 5th fret harmonics work for all PUs. They are dead for a normal strat neck PU because the PU is right where the 24th fret should be (therefore, a point of no vibration for the harmonic standing wave). By shifting that PU back a bit, the sound comes through loud and clear. The 4x2 headstock design is more than just cosmetic. It is functional. You get enough break angle over the nut for your E and B strings that there is no need for string trees (and despite the fact that many guitars use string trees for the G and D strings too, I've NEVER seen a guitar that needed it to have a great open string sound from those strings).

Anyone interested in an 80's Valley Arts guitar should go pick up a Don Grosh, as he was running the VA shop in those days. Hes a great dude and his guitars are killer.

Is the Warmoth 7/8 line interchangeable with Jaguar necks & bodies? Can you put a Jaguar neck on a 7/8 Strat body without any problems?

Can you put a regular 25.5 neck on it?

Pickups?

Man, great damn video.

Awesome video! I've always wanted to hear how much the scale actually changed the tone, all other things being equal. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, though, is if the tone would sound even darker on a 24.75" scale guitar if a brighter body wood (like alder or ash) was used. Just wondering if the tone in this video got only a smidge darker because the mahogany is already pretty dark, and maybe the law of diminishing returns kicks in with a brighter wood.

Really digging the 7/8 th size bodies,very tempting 👍❤️🔥🎉

Is it a Les Paul length?

Does this mean that the distance from the bridge to the neck pickup is the same in the 22 fret guitar? Usually, to get 24 frets, other manufacturers push the pickup back and it looses warmth.

John Lennon played a short-scale Rickenbacker (only 20.75”) on the early Beatles stuff, and when they played on The Ed Sullivan Show. It didn’t matter to all those screaming girls, and the legions of young viewers who took up guitar.
