TOM and a Strat or Tele Headstock

I was just looking at the Joe B. sig Gibson with the Firebird headstock and TOM bridge.

Would intonation be a problem with six in a line and the TOM? I've also wondered the same about Dave Grohl's sig model.


I've got a 93 Fender AmStd Strat neck, and I'm considering putting a Warmoth SG type body on it. What do you think?

It shouldn't cause a problem at all.

I thought Joe's had a wrap TP. Are we talking about the latest one that is painted Pelham Blue?

Wouldn't the TOM sit a bit high? Seems like you'd need to shim the neck to get the strings down on the finger board. :hmm

Yes. This is true. You might be able to have Warmoth carve the required neck angle into the neck pocket.

Or you could recess the TOM- like on my Carvin DC-150. It has a TOM and no neck angle whatsoever.

Yes, it's that sig blue LP. Had me curious.

I lifted this from the LPF:

That's pretty wild!

No intonation issue at all. Intonation deals with nut placement relative to the bridge, and where frets are located between them.
