    Is the (larger) humbucker routing suitable for a (smaller) TV Jones pickup?

    For the neck pickup rout of a strat-tele hybrid body w/ pickguard, is it okay to get the humbucker rout for the neck even if I plan to put a (smaller) TV Jones pickup in the neck? Because at some point I may want to put a full size Gibson style humbucker in the neck and I want to make sure the...

    Is grade 2 (mild steel) strong enough for neck screws?

    I'm having fun with this new build making sure that all of the hardware is nickel-plated and all that. For the Warmoth contoured heel I got a hold of some nickel-plated screws that are #8 1-1/2" and #8 1-3/4". These are the proper gauge and lengths for Warmoth's contoured body heel. But are...

    Headstock truss rod adjustment for Baritone Neck

    I'm with Warmoth because of the Baritone neck. Over 10 years ago I built a Warmoth baritone strat, and while Warmoth has since made side truss rod adjustment available on their other necks, the baritone neck today still requires removal from body to access the heel truss rod. Your baritone neck...

    Can anyone confirm if Arizona Turquoise Stone dots go w/ Seafoam Green?

    Confused about 7/8" side jack route for Strat-Tele hybrid

    For the strat-tele hybrid body Warmoth only offers the 7/8" side jack. I'm confused as to what my options are for a jack and jack plate. I don't want to use the electro socket jack as I use a right-angle guitar cable which I've read will not work w/ that jack as it's too recessed for the plug to...

    Anything wrong with neck screws with shanks?

    Probably a dumb question, but is there anything wrong with using shank screws like these for the neck w/ contoured heel (they have 1-3/4" too)? https://www.blacksmithbolt.com/store/p/706-8-X-1-1/2-Phillips-Oval-Head-Wood-Screws-Nickel.aspx What I've read about wood screws with shanks compared...

    Is this the "correct" Gotoh 510 Tremolo?

    I'm looking to outfit my new strat build with nickel hardware throughout. I want the Gotoh 510 trem over the Wilkinson because it has that classic look, but I want to make sure I'm getting the "preferred" Gotoh 510. The 510 is hard to find in nickel, and this place is currently out of stock...

    Help me love Sherwood green!

    I'm building a strat-tele hybrid baritone and instead of the black and variations of white I always choose I'm trying to be brave and order a color that I like but wouldn't normally have chosen, and for me that's Warmoth's variant of Sherwood green. I don't like a lot of the Sherwood greens on...

    Do flake finishes wear as well as solid finishes? Who has a worn flake finish?

    I really like flake finishes and want one but I also like that a guitar with a solid color like Daphne blue can take dents and scratches and still look cool and have character whereas guitars with flake finishes seem to need to be kept looking beautiful at all times to maintain the dazzling...

    Best place for custom pickgaurds?

    Hey.. can anyone recommend the best place online for custom pickgaurds? I'm building a strat-tele hybrid and may like to get a custom guard made for it, maybe some cool design or something.. what places should I be checking out? They'd have to be willing to copy the Warmoth strat-tele guard.

    Can anyone show me your Sunset Orange finish (any type of guitar)?

    Hey guys, I went looking through the gallery when I was board and now I'm here planning a guitar. Does anyone have any kind of guitar finished in Warmoth's Sunset Orange finish you can show me? I found a jazz bass online finished in that color (pic) and honestly I wish it was a bit darker orange...

    Wilkinson/Gotoh VS-100N Tremolo: Will it fit an American Deluxe Strat?

    Hey . I have an American Deluxe from around '05 and currently it has a Hipshot US Contour Tremolo bridge on it. The Hipshot is beautiful actually *but*, the saddles have sharp pointy edges that poke into my hand every time I palm mute, and I palm mute a lot and it's very uncomfortable with this...
