    Re-Rout Hardtail for Trem?

    Some of y'all have helped me with tips on this Frankensquire project, now fitted with a new Warmoth neck, Schaller tuners, and a BKP holy diver (which is totally sick by the way!). It's still a work in progress, new pickguard tomorrow and nut slots worked on by my guitar tech in about a week...

    What is your favorite Wah Pedal?

    Searching for the perfect Wah!  Tell me your favorites and why you like them? I had a Teese RMC 10 for a few years but sold it, finally deciding I'm looking for something a little different. I've had troubles getting wah to sound good, and it's almost to the point I could see myself not using...

    Would these Saddles work on my Bridge Plate? (Top Loader)

    Hey there! I'll have to call GraphTech about this to ask them, perhaps someone on here might know too? I have to use this bridge plate (see photo) on my Squire/Warmoth upgrade, but the saddles that come with it are low quality, would like to upgrade to graphtech saddles.  (See link)...

    Orange Bullet Special aka 'Frankensquire'

    I've been wanting to give my favorite cheapo guitar a new lease on life for many years.  Was waiting for a Gibson scale wizard profile neck to come in to Warmoth's showcase. Finally saw one and pulled the trigger on all the parts.  Time to resurrect!

    Looking for a Wizard Profile Gibson Scale

    Looking for a smokin' hot deal on a Wizard Profile Gibson scale Strat neck. I know this is a long shot, and that I may have to just do a custom neck through Warmoth. But I thought I'd give it a shot, because it's for a cheap Squire, I love the guitar and would like to pimp it out and make it...

    Ideas for Staining a Classical Guitar?

    Wondering if I could stain the top of my classical guitar to make it look like a cabernet red wine type of color. Any ideas, thoughts, tips, warnings, or suggestions?  I have a clunker I can practice on before trying it on a nice guitar, so I'm down for experimenting!

    Should I upgrade Ibz RG's DiMarzios to Bare Knuckles?

    Thinking of upgrading to Bare Knuckle but I know nothing about the differences between pickups they offer.  This would be for a 25th Anniversary Ibanez RG - absolutely kick-butt guitar that has served me well - but after getting a strat with hand wound pickups, I just wanna hear what some...

    Switching from Vintage 6 Hole to Floyd

    What are your thoughts on converting a vintage 6 hole tremolo strat with a TUSQ nut - to a floyd with locking nut?  Is it such a Major surgery that I would be better off getting a different body from Warmoth?  Or is it not such a big deal?  My first Warmoth build turned out great, however...

    Anyone ever played w/ a Marshall Shred Master Pedal?

    Anyone ever used one of these bad boys before? Marshall now offers the Jackhammer pedal, but I find myself much more intrigued by this older one.  They don't make 'em anymore but you can find them online.  Specifically looking to get British/Marshall rock overdrive on a Fender amp ~ so I can...

    DIY Neck Reshaping?

    Thoughts on Reshaping a cheapo Squire neck using sandpaper? Most guys I've talked to say that's a big no no on a *nice guitar unless you really find someone who knows what they're doing.  But how bout a cheap guitar?  I just have a few Squires and would like to practice sanding them down to...

    Tuning to Eb on a Floyd Rose Guitar

    Hi there, I wanna tune my Ibanez RG guitar down to Eb.  It has a Floyd on it and I'm wondering what adjustments do I need to make, if any, when I do this? I tried Eb tuning on Warmoth strat and it sounded great, but if I touch the tremolo at all it goes out of tune.  So I'm hoping my Floyd RG...

    Whammy Bar and Wah Pedal Q's ?

    Two Questions I would love some opinions/advice on...  Here we go! 1.  Any tricks for getting the whammy bar to both rest in a particular desired position AND to not have it be so firmly positioned there that it clicks when I pull it towards me?  It's currently resting at about 3 o'clock (see...

    Diagnosing no sound from Guitar

    Working on my first project guitar to learn how to do everything.  It's an old beat up Squire so I can make mistakes, etc. without much risk. The first time I replaced pickguard and pickup covers I was getting sound...  crappy sound, but I was getting sound. I had mounted the coils wrong so I...

    Gibson-Scale Swamp Ash Burst

    Disclaimer! This is not my assembly work!  I did not wish to attempt drilling on a $350 dollar body and a $450 dollar custom neck... so I took my body and neck to a very highly recommended tech for my first Warmoth. I decided to leave this one to a pro, not about to mess with assembling a new...

    Resurrecting a Squire

    Not putting this in Work In Progress because it has no Warmoth parts (except for a trem cover). My friend gave me this Squire and I'm going to fix it up a bit and turn it around as a student guitar on CL for some cash.  I should have taken a before pic of this thing, it was filthy and covered...

    Alternatives to the Brown Box?

    Any guitar plucking friends out there use a voltage regulator for your amp? I had someone send me the demo on the Brown Box and it sounds awesome, but it seems like for something like that you could get into it for less than $350.  Are there any poor man's voltage regulator hacks I could use...
