    Does anyone know if this is an "off menu" option? Squared off fretboard

    Does anyone know if Warmoth offers a square fretboard end as possibly an "of menu" option? I'm looking to replace the neck on a Fender era Charvel that has the squared off fretboard. I need to measure the neck heel to make sure it would fit, but thought I would start by asking. Thanks!

    It's been a minute..

    I've gotten on a "I really need to get these guitar projects finished" kick here lately, and have finally gotten around to being productive.  Throught I'd post a few pics.  Apologies for the long post, but it's been a long time since I last posted about any of these projects.  First one, is...

    No Floyd Nut Prep Option on Showcase necks?

    Sorry if this has been discussed already since the new website has went live.  But, I'm noticing that there isn't an option for FR nut prep listed on any of the necks I've looked at.  It gives several options for different nut/nut materials, LSR, etc.. but no FR options.  What gives?

    Recommend me some good, inexpensive home stereo equipment

    Hey all, I know there are some audiophiles here so I thought I'd try to pick your brains a little.  My wife has recently gotten into vinyl again, and we bought an inexpensive "all in one" type turntable to play what she has aquired over the last few months.. The problem, this player to my ears...

    Second body build.. Sapele and Flame Top body. CATASTROPHE!!

    When I jacked up the Walnut body's shape, and ended up having to make it more "Soloist-esque", I decided not to use the flame top I had on it.  Instead I ordered a two piece Sapele body blank, and barring any screw ups like the last time.. the flame top will be getting put on this one.  This one...

    Is Ebay as we know it over?

    So, I got a promotional email from Ebay early last month saying that I could list up to 10 items by Dec. 31st and I would only have to pay $1 in final value fees on those ten items.  I had a couple of guitars I was thinking about letting go, so I waiting until the very end of the month to list...

    My first "from scratch" body build... The building actually begins!

    So I have decided to enter the realm of building my own guitar body (maybe bodies, depending on how this goes).  Most smart people would start of with something simple, but I have never been accused of being smart..  So, I'm going what I would consider big on the first one!  If I'm going down...

    For those that are building their own bodies.. Where ya gettin' your wood??

    I've invested in some templates, and I'm going to give building my own bodies a go..  I ordered a nice one piece walnut body blank off Ebay to start with, but I was wondering where you peeps that build your own bodies source your woods from?  When I had my buddy in Alabama building bodies for...

    Thinking of breaking the rules..

    ..of the hard "ceiling" I have on body weights under 4 lbs. and sticking with chambered bodies.  I picked up my old Kramer Focus 3000 the other day and plugged it in, and wow.. Solid maple body on that one, and while it's not Les Paul heavy, it's got some heft to it.  It just had a three...

    Pic Heavy/Finally Completed.. L.O.F, Copperhead Soloist, Warmoth Revamp and SRG

    Finally completed the L.O.F. (Lake of Fire) SuperStrat, Copperhead Soloist and the "revamp" of the Warmoth I built about a year ago. Also included a shot of the Warmoth Strat I built that will, at some point, get some more lovin' on the neck with a fret end dress, etc..  Figured I would just put...

    Warmoth waterslides

    Occurred to me the other day as I was clearing a headstock.. Why doesn't Warmoth offer waterslide logos for the headstock, instead of the stickers?  Or offer both, for those that want it? Would make it a lot easier to hide the edges.

    Any tips/tricks or pitfalls I need to watch out for when working with SS frets?

    I bought my first neck that has SS frets and with my latest projects, I have decided to spend a lot more time on the neck fit and finish.  That means fret end dressing, rolling the edges of the fretboard, etc..  In the past, I have just slapped the neck on and played.  I invested (I say...

    Half and Half Bodies... Figured Maple/Mahogany and Flamed Claro Walnut/Mahogany

    Not sure if this is allowed, since these aren't Warmoth bodies.. but, if it helps.. Warmoth necks were eventually attached. lol A buddy if mine in Alabama used to build guitar bodies under the name of Southeast Guitars.  He eventually moved on to building entire guitars as well as parts, but...

    I Paid the Ransom!

    So, I get this email from Photobucket this morning saying that if I don't log in all of my pictures would be deleted.  I had a TON of pics in there of guitars I've owned in the past, that unfortunately I no long had pictures of on my current computer due to losing hard drives, etc..  Once I get...

    Anyone logged into their Photobucket account lately?

    I got an email from Photobucket this morning, saying that if I didn't log in I would lose all my pictures.  I haven't logged in to PB in a LOOOONNG time, mainly because there for a while if you did you were getting spammed to death by ads and warnings of viruses, etc.  I decided to take the...

    This one is a Warmoth Finished Quilt Maple/Chambered Alder with natural masked binding body that I picked up out of the Showcase a little while back.  It's getting mated to the ? wood/Ebony neck with SS frets that I got along with the red Soloist body (now deemed the Copperhead Soloist in the...

    ..where their forum name comes from? LOL Don't know if this has been done before, but I wonder if anyone would be interested in expounding upon their forum name and why you chose it? I'll start.  Mine (War_in_D) comes from one of my favorited guitarist, and also my avatar pic.. Warren...

    New name: The Copperhead Soloist Build Begins.

    Picked up this Soloist body on Ebay.  The top had it fair share of dents, dings and had a chunk knocked out of the clear coat about the size of a dime near the hole that was drilled for the knob.  It was suggested to leave it as is, and go with that road worn look..  Definitely worth...
