    DIY 720 mod?

    Hello! How hard would it be to DIY a 720 mod on a Warmoth body with minimal tools (basic toolbox, drill...)? Like let's say I have sandpaper and the power of will on my side 😅?

    No spalted maple top option?

    Hey guys, I'm currently planning my next build and I was hoping to go with a hybrid Tele body with a spalted maple top but for some reason spalted maple doesn't show up in the body builder? Is it an option you have to call to order or something?

    Made a mistake mounting my pickups

    When first installing the pickups in my last build (wood mounted), the mounting hole on the pickup was too small for the mounting screws I had. I thought no big deal I'll just enlarge the hole and call it a day... Except I decided recently I wanted pickup rings. When installing them, I...

    Aged white/parchment set that fits DiMarzio pickup height?

    I ordered a set of parchment hardware from Warmoth not knowing the covers don't fit the height of DiMarzio singlecoils (the hum cancelling ones at least). I'm trying to get everything to match in color but DiMarzio doesn't seem to sell matching aged white knobs/switch tip to go with the pickup...

    [Updated] Fiesta Red Strat

    Hey guys, I decided to do something I always wanted to do, which is to upgrade my first Warmoth guitar! I lent it to my dad for a couple of years and recently brought it home with me after my holiday visit. There were some things about it I didn't quite like, such as neck profile, frets...

    NAMM 2019

    Any new gear you're excited for from this year's NAMM so far? I'm really liking the new PGM 30th anniversary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPHTBua6igc I'll also say that after watching a few interviews with James Curleigh makes me think the future of Gibson is looking bright. Owning a nice...

    Revisiting my first Warmoth

    I built my first Warmoth almost a decade ago and it was not only my first custom guitar but my first Strat ever. I was never totally happy with it so here I am all these years later revisiting it with some fresh parts! I'll be changing the bridge pickup, pickguard color from white to mint, and a...

    Telecaster Player Series Saddle Replacement

    Very interested in getting a Player Series Telecaster, but would like to replace the saddles for the regular 3 brass saddles and Fender told me they didn't have a direct replacement. Does anyone know if such a replacement exist for this guitar?

    Loose pot

    Not the knob itself, but turning the knob on my push pull pot has barely any resistance to it. Is there a way to tweak that? The pots on my Ibanez AR2619 for example have that smooth, precise, almost elastic turn to them. I'd love for all my pots to turn this smoothly.

    Aqua Marine Soloist

    Build thread I had been looking to replace the body on my Warmoth Soloist for a while and I jumped on this one when I saw it. I also wanted to change the pickups to a DiMarzio Gravity Storm pair and so far I'm really happy, I can't put this guitar down. They have a much higher output and low...

    Aquamarine Soloist Build

    I'll be starting to work on my new Soloist very soon and will post updates here. Specs: I'll be using the neck from another guitar for this one, so the tuners are already installed and the frets should be fine. I'd like to build the whole thing myself and I'm trying to figure out the bare...

    Floyd Rose going out of tune

    I recently changed the string gauge on my Warmoth from 9s to 10s and I notice the guitar goes out of tune when going down only (the strings are broken in at this point), but if I pull up it goes back perfectly in tune. It never went out of tune before that. I'm guessing the non locking nut needs...

    Ibanez Rules Appreciation

    I bought an AR2619 from Ibanez Rules last year and the neck pickup ring cracked a couple months ago so I emailed him asking if he had any in stock. He told me "due in stock 5/10/2018", so I kind of just forgot about it. On that exact date I got a notification that Ibanez Rules sent me a package...

    Vintage tint Tele

    Hey guys, got the Tele build all put together and it's a beauty! I love how the chambered body makes the guitar resonate so much you can play it unplugged and hear every note. Really happy with how it turned out! The pickup combo sounds great in it. I am having some issues with the electronics...

    Did I mess up?

    I brought my Warmoth parts to the local tech to get it assembled and he said I inverted 2 of the connections on the 3 way switch. Can you guys confirm that this is correct or not? It's for a standard 3 way switch.

    NGD - Ibanez AR2619 CS

    I've wanted an Ibanez AR for many many years, but I wasn't comfortable buying one of those old 80s AR off Ebay. I only found out not too long ago that Ibanez actually started making them again. They discontinued the cherry burst, but I checked Ibanez Rules last week and he had one left in stock...

    UWF Discord Server

    Hey guys! I went ahead and created a Discord server for the forums. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the app, but I use it all the time for different purposes and it's great for maintaining communities. In a nutshell, it's just a server with a bunch of chat rooms. It could make it...
