This is part of the world's longest build. I have a Warmoth body and neck that I bought sometime between 1986-1989. I just purchased a custom pickguard for the project. One of the questions in customizing the pickguard was whether I wanted a truss rod cut. I ordered the cut because the adjustment on the neck is at the heel. But I did not notice that body was not cut for a heel trussrod until I got the pickguard. To be able to adjust the trussrod with the neck attached I guess I'm just going to have to cut a slot, right?
