    Firecaster/Fenderbird

    I've had this body for a while but picked up this Firebird neck when Warmoth was discounting the Gibson stuff. Maple/Rosewood, 59 Roundback profile, 6150, Sperzels. I do like the angled head stock, good string tension that feels very solid in the nut.  I've struggled a bit getting optimal tone...

    59 vs SRV profile. Anyone played both?

    The 59 Roundback profile has been my favorite since I got my first all Rosewood neck (59 Roundback of course). I have 3 of them now, the 59 profile makes my old standard thin necks feel wimpy in comparison. :)  I'm considering trying an SRV, anyone own both?  I'd love to hear comparisons, I...

    All Rosewood, had to buy another one

    My current favorite Strat is this one. MJT aged nitro alder body, Warmoth rosewood neck ('59 roundback profile. 1 5/8" nut), Sperzels, GFS steel block trem with Graphtech saddles (and nut). Duncan Hot Rails bridge (series/parallel/variable split on the "tone" knob), Dimarzio Area '58 middle and...

    Control layout options beyond "standard" Strat for rear rout models

    I would love to see a good evenly spaced 2 knob configuration option (with 5 way switch) for Strats similar to Suhr, Anderson and others.  Particularly on a rear rout model with a side jack the "standard" Strat control layout crams everything into a small area of the cavity. I would also like...

    Tele build

    I've had success with a neck finish before so I'm going for both the neck and body on this new project. I'm trying to do some amber dye but with mixed results so far (streaking and so on, I ended up sanding it a lot). Still, the neck is looking pretty good (first layer of varnish top coat over...

    Pickguard access with 22 fret neck

    NOTE: I have edited my original post to a more constructive tone. Thanks for the feedback guys- After playing Fender Strats for many years I bought my first Warmoth Strat build and ordered the "standard" 22 fret pro neck. I did not realize the fretboard overhang prevents installing/removing an...

    First build: my new Strat

    I am a long time Fender player but finally decided to quit tweaking the factory stuff and try to build what I want. Here is my project just arrived, swamp ash body (lake placid blue) with contoured heel, and flame maple neck. Is there a good "Warmoth build 101" thread anywhere?  I'm pretty handy...
