    New Build Plan - any thoughts?

    Started seriously planning my next build after playing my first since the summer and loving every second of it. The neck is the best profile i've ever played, and I now want a compound radius fretboard on every guitar I own (which I'm sure someone on here told me would happen!) So, the plan: VW...

    Warmoth withdrawl (and a new build plan + request for advice)

    I think I'm getting withdrawl from Warmoth! My Soloist has been with the tech being tweaked for the last 3 weeks or so, so I've only actually had it in my playing possession for 5 days. Given that I was planning the thing in January, and ordered in March, I've now been waiting a while. The...

    Koa Carved Top Soloist

    Here's a few pics of my almost completed Soloist project. Only a few things left to do; fit a chrome jackplate and move the volume pot to a more traditional, useable postion and put a mini switch in its current location. Whole thing needs grounding to the bridge too, as it currently buzzes like...

I understand this is normal, but I was just wondering if there's any...

    Arrived today: Mahogany/Koa Soloist (Pics)

    Well, my parts arrived this morning, and I'm pretty happy! I orignally wanted a flame koa top for this build, so when I found out Warmoth can't offer them currently due to a lack of wood, I nearly went for a natural flame maple top. In the end, I stuck with the koa, but I was expecting it to...

    Cavity shielding

    Does anyone know if Warmoth bodies are supplied with any form of shielding applied to the control cavity? I'm just in the process of buying electronics etc to get the thing finished as soon as it arrives, and I was wondering if I needed to get hold of some shielding tape/paint, or if it's...

    Hi All

    Hi everyone. Spent quite a lot of time reading the old board before I ordered my Warmoth bits, and it was really useful, so thought I should stop sitting on the sidelines and get registered before the parts arrive so I can participate properly!
