    tremolo routing

    Does anyone know if a Warmoth strat that has been routed for a hardtail bridge (including the three screw holes) can be re-routed for a standard strat tremolo?  IE, will the new routing remove all of the material where the 6 through-body holes and 3 screw holes currently are? thanks, RK

    Vox VR 15

    Anyone tried or heard one of these?  It's a 15 watt hybrid tube / solid state (I think it has a 12ax7 preamp tube) with a little 8 inch speaker.  Very cheap.  It blows through the stock speaker, but has a line out.  I went into a music store last night and the owner showed me that he discovered...

    1957 Les Paul Junior

    I just saw a local ad for a 1957 Les Paul Junior, where it is not in perfect condition (some checking of finish and a couple of dings) and has had a professional fret job.  The dude wants $2900.  Is it just me, or is this worth way more than $2900?  I'm thinking $10k? Not an expert on vintage...

    question for warmoth guys

    Would Warmoth paint the headstock of my previously purchased Warmoth neck to match a body picked out of the Showcase?  The neck has not been used yet, but I have experimented with another finish and then sanded the neck back to bare wood.  Also it is a "vintage modern" neck, so would that make a...

    Los Lonely Boys kick a$$

    If you've never seen these guys live, do yourself a favor and attend their next show in a city near you.  I just saw them tonite.  You will not be dissapointed.  Awesome musicianship from all 3 brothers.  Especially Jo Jo, the bass player!  Plays a 6 string bass and hits every damn note on that...

    Jeff Healy

    I know that there was already a post about Jeff Healy's passing, but has anyone else noticed that neither Guitar World nor Guitar Player websites even had one sentence about it!  Unreal!!  But of course, the release of Chuck Schuldiner's BC Rich pick axe is front page news!  I've already got...

    pickup mounting holes

    Hey Fellas I just got my Rio Grande Texas / BBQ set of pickups today, and I tried mounting the pickups on the mounting rings, however, two of the holes bored out for mounting the pickups (one on each pickup) appear to need reaming / drilling out to fit the mounting screws that were supplied. ...

    black dye question

    Hi Guys After dying (black) and finishing my Swamp Ash strat with Tung Oil, I found that it wasn't turning out how I envisioned, so I'm going to try something else.  I sanded off the Tung oil and most of the dye with my mouse.  How do I get the rest of the  dye out that has absorbed a little...

    Charge for selecting high grade wood?

    Does Gregg or anyone know what the extra charge is for being able to select a certain piece of wood from Warmoth's inventory for your body?  There is something to that effect on the Warmoth website.  How would that work?  Would someone take some pictures of say, all the Black Korina blanks that...

    Tung oil - how many coats is enough

    Howdy! I'm on my 3rd coat of Tung Oil on my black dye strat project - how many coats of Tung Oil is enough?  It's starting to look nice and glassy already, so I think that 3 to 4 more would be good. What is everyone's experience? Also, I have a couple of little runs near where my mounting...
