    Hi guys I understand that the Gotoh vintage 6 screw bridge is supplied on the Warmoth website and I would assume does fit the vintage tremolo bridge route.  My question to anyone currently using this set up - have you had any problems with string spacing on the e strings with "fall-off" on the...

    Body weight for custom builds

    It would be nice if you could at least select from a certain range of body weights when ordering a custom body.  As it is now, if you want, say, a 4lb strat body, you pretty much have to wait and hope what you want comes up in the showcase.  When you order custom, there is always a chance you...

    My "2020" Strats

    To pass the time in this unusual year, I wound up building 2 strats and a tele while I had some extra time on my hands.  What I haven't had much of lately is the spare time to play them, so I'm still getting to know them, but both strats are very much at home through my Wampler Tumnus & Traynor...

Does anyone have a preferred weight that they like to see a Jazz or Precision...

    Roasted Maple splitting / chipping prevention

    Hi guys I have a new roasted maple strat neck and I want to learn a lesson from my previous experience where one of my neck mounting pilot holes wore out due to over - tightening (totally my fault).  My thought is, why not wick some water thin CA glue into the wood around each of the 4 pilot...
