    Warmoth Natural Ash Strat body + Wilky bridge

    So this is a well-used, Warmoth HSH route body now disassembled, nitro finished, contoured heel, but I need to get a few more pics as some black dye splashed on it. It might wipe off with naptha, will update later on, I just stuck it on a shelf and don't have a plan fot it. For now call it...

    Water-based poly sanding sealer over nitro?

    Quick question- Have a body to refinish and I’ve leveled it out and sanded it to 320. Its black nitro over a white primer over a sprayed lacquer sealer over mahogany, all of which are showing to some degree after my level sanding. What I’d prefer to do at this stage is lay down a sealer coat...

    Warmoth Mint Green pickguard

    So I ordered a Strat body for a project some time ago, plus a mint green pickguard...just opened the box and this mint is a little green compared to others I’ve seen. In fairness the site sample photo is reasonably accurate, but it’s harder to trust online photos especially w/o context. So...

    2-knob placement option

    A standardized option for a 1vol 1tone knob routing on bodies and pickguards, such as you see on a typical Charvel or Ibanez. Definitely understood that Warmoth can’t configure their setup for every person’s specific 2 knob placement preference, and it definitely does vary, but I think there’s...

    Questions/ideas: Wiring HSH Strat, coil-splitting neck only

    Short version: I want to be able to coil-split a Pearly Gates neck pickup and am looking for options. Medium version: I want to be able to coil-split a Pearly Gates neck pickup in an HSH ash Strat, preferably using the 5-way switch as opposed to a pull-pull or smaller extra switch. I rarely...

    So apparently Gibson has made some changes in 2015

    A general 29% price increase is the first thing.  -The 2015 Les Paul Standard now sells for $3,760 (MSRP is over $6k). -The min-E tune automatic tuning thing has been renamed G-Force and seems to be on just about all 2015 models. -A new zero-fret brass nut on just about all models. -The...

    For sale: New Warmoth LP, neck + body + all needed parts, assembly required

    EDIT 3/10/2013: Virtually everything sold. I may/may not list the remainder at a later point but will probably just eBay them or shelve them. I've got a lot of stuff that's going to wind up here, and if there's any interest I'll add photos & more details. I've got some renovations around the...

    Re: The Warmoth-installed Earvana jobs

    I have 3 of them, and at some point years from now the nuts will need replacement. 2 of the 3 guitars are played pretty frequently (3rd isn't assembled yet) and I'm not sure what my best option will be once the nuts go. The nut channel is wider than standard and (if I recall) the forward point...

    Spotify is pretty great.

    *** I'm sure most people who aren't familiar with this service have heard at least mention of it. It's a music-streaming service that looks and feels a lot like ITunes and is functionally similar to Rhapsody with better quality. It just came to the US and there is a free (ad-supported)...

    Time to talk about wenge and my brand new project V

    So I just scored a black Warmoth V, floyd route. $90. It will need a neck and will have a standard EMG 81-85 set. Body wood unknown at the moment, but again it's going to be a set of EMGs. I'm thinking going wenge/wenge for the neck, no finish, some kind of inlays other than cream dots...

    Simple Strat wiring scheme 1 Vol 1 Tone question

    I've wired up Strats more than a few times, but just going off of diagrams - I don't really know what it all means. With that out of the way: I'm working on a new Strat in a 1 volume + 1 tone config. Volume universal of course, but I want the tone knob to affect the bridge pickup only. I'm...

    Ok so grounding the trem claw

    Yeah hey whats up New strat going together, and there will be no rear cover over the trem claw/springs area, so I want to get that ground wire nice and firmly attached. Is there any good reason I can't stuff the wire up in where the trem claw screws go? So it contacts with the screw and held in...

    Don't recall the Warmoth order page coming up with that before, at least I think it was https. Maybe I didn't notice

    Almost time to unleash the Tonar dragon

    Okay you guys remember this plan? The body is done and will be here this week. Looking for some opinions and advice before I order the last of the parts, there's a few things I'm on the fence about (and I have a few challenges). First, I'm nixing the relic job. Much as I like the...

    New Warmoth LP setup advice (grounding, post inserts, nut filing questions)

    My new Warmoth LP studio which I've been sitting on a little bit, time to get it together. The goal for this particlar project is to do all the setup myself and not bring it into the shop. Girl was laid off, and I have too many guitars to keep paying the local guy. I've done some setup work, but...
