Building a guitar with Warmoth and Fender parts can be difficult if you let it. But taking the Telecaster licensed neck from Fender and creating a finished item is how to start. And Warmoth have some very high quality Strat and Tele style parts available that might be difficult to source from Fender or anywhere else for that matter.

In this video, we're going to show you how to fit tuners and a decal properly on a Warmoth Licensed Fender Neck. This is a crucial step in building your guitar and we hope this video helps you get it right the first time! This neck will be used to create a Telecaster style guitar in another video.

If you're looking to buy a guitar, be sure to check out the Warmoth website. They offer some of the highest-quality Fender-style guitars and parts in the market, and their customer service is good. Their guitar components are built using the latest in technology and craftsmanship, so you know you're getting a high quality product when you buy any Warmoth guitar part.

So when you want to fit a decal and fit locking Fender tuners not doing the work carefully will likely result in various problems that will be hard to resolve later.

The neck used here is a Fender licensed neck by Fender from Warmoth made of birdseye maple and the guitar I am creating is for my own use only and its not for sale. Please don't fit a Fender logo to knock off Chinese guitar necks as the aim of this video is for decal and Fender tuner fitting to Fender licensed necks or to restore an original Fender guitar.

When you buy a Warmoth guitar neck to fit the Fender locking tuners, Warmoth neither fit a decal or drill the location holes for the locking tuners, so ensuring the right parts and equipment is used becomes important so that you get things right first time.

This replacement licensed Fender Telecaster neck made by Warmoth was already sealed with matt finish by Warmoth and for the tuner location holes I used a G-Tech jig for proper drilling locations that are essential. This is the best way to get good results. So is Warmoth worth it? I think so. The Warmoth birdseye maple neck is really cool and by the way this was not part of the guitar build off 2022.

Overall in this video you will see a Fender Licensed electric guitar Telecaster neck that includes many custom features as shown in another video of the neck and specifications here: https://youtu.be/MNBKVHySZ_8 and there is also a video of the Warmoth Telecaster body to be used later as part of the final guitar build: https://youtu.be/klc1jqZzDIs I recommend you take a look and see what you think of it all.

I have spent considerable time creating this video and note that its not sponsored in any way - I bought all the parts myself. The video is a reflection of my own experience to date with Fender and Warmoth parts.
