    Ted's Strat

    Finished my second (and last build for a while) over the weekend. It was a pretty long winded and towards the end quite annoying process. So many damn screw holes to drill with a Strat! I made two f**k-ups. I stripped one of the tuner screws so now I cannot screw it down or out! :help: Also I...

    2nd project - Strat this time :)

    Since my little bro picked up a Mexi strat, I've wanted one more and more. To make matters worse I've been watching Cream Live at Albert Hall and also Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock so I have been yearning for those Strat tones for a while (well Eric's strat still kinda sounds like a strat?!) So I...

    Black scratchplate

    I quite like black scratchplates on strats, which do you think would be nice body colours for a black guard. I like Oregon Beige, Spectra Blue and Butterscotch. Any others you guys like (apart from natural...that would remind me too much of my first crappy guitar... :tard:) :icon_thumright:Ted

    hey guys: any of you have a rio grande strat set in any of your axes? I'm most curious as the price is right on the Warmoth website... The dual calibrated looks most appealing (muy grande / halfbreed / vintage tallboy). Thanks Ted  :icon_thumright:

    Jackson/Charvel Surfcaster

    Now thats a body I would like to see on the Warmoth list. I love those guitars, but they're so damn hard to find. I've never seen one "in the flesh".

    Silverburst finish?

    How come I see no silverburst options in Showcase. Silverburst sells Gibsons like hotcakes! Its a damn sexy finish.

    Neck profile question

    Hi guys, I'm new here and have been obsessively researching on building my own custom SG with Warmoth parts. One of the last items I cannot seem to work out myself is the neck profile. I have played fenders and gibsons, but I wonder how these relate to the Warmoth necks on offer. Would...
