    Warmoth Stratocaster: Ash body/Birdseye Neck

    Need to sell my strat in order to finance some other stuff I got going in life.  Been trying to sell local (Craigslist), however haven't had any bites.  I'm not sure how to handle shipping, but figured I'd at least open it up to the forum.  I'd be open to meeting half way for any SoCal'ers that...

    Completed Strat - First Build

    So here's my first Warmoth, which is also my first build.  This project slowly morphed from a refinish project of my cheapo Taiwan strat, into an entirely brand new guitar.   I basically decided that after two failed attempts with getting the body paint how I wanted I would stop hesitating and...
