Warmoth neck on Universe?

I'm currently modding the living hell out of my UV7BK. I'm making a new pickguard, replacing the pickups, getting rid of the tone pot and replacing the 5-way switch with a 4PDT 3-way switch (JPM style).
I've been considering removing the green dots from the fretboard and having abalone dots installed. However I'd rather get a replacement neck so I can get the guitar back to original if I would want to sell it later on. I checked Warmoth.com the other day and their necks look amazing so my question is: Has anyone here installed a Warmoth seven string neck on a UV and if so how much of a hassle was it?

While I've not seen a 7 neck from them in person, the shop I work at has quite a few Warmoth necks come in for intallation. In recent years, their quality control has come up a bit, and I have rarely had problems with them. They've always been cool about taking it back when we've gotten a piece o' crap. Good luck with your project man!

Does Warmoth make a 7 string neck with a 25.5 scale? 24 fret? Also, I believe their heels are made for Fender

Think they only do 25" and 28.5", eddie.

Try shooting them a mail, from what ive seen their quite friendly... iirc they use fender style heels - though you might be able to make it fit, the heels arent that dissimilar.
