hi guys, soon receiving my next build and i am still undecided what to do with the neck. it will be a solid indian rosewood neck (and fretboard). i am undecided between not finishing it and using some layers of tru oil. did anybody of you have experience with rosewood necks? will the famous...

Hi guys, for my next build i am undecided which body to chose. historically, i am a pure strat player but i REALLY WANT to like telecasters. they just look awesome, even if i ruin their classic spirit with my custom stuff. :) my first build from warmoth was a tele and is in fact my best...

Hi folks, i am currently considering a new warmoth build. for this axe, i would like to go with a flat straight radius with a schaller lockmeister and an earvarna nut (no locking nut). now i am interested in how to optimize the radius for this build. would you suggest to take the same radius...

hi guys, just finished my latest guitar and i am very happy about the result. i got the idea when i saw a beautiful american elite stratocaster neck in a local store. this neck is one of the very rare fender necks that have a compound 9.5-14 radius and was fitted for the typical fender elite...

hi guys, i use in my new strat the eric johnson fender sc set. neck and middle are really cool but i dislike the bridge pickup. my idea is now to replace it with a stacked singlecoil to have a bit more beefy crunch sound in the lead. but i would like to have in the middle/bridge position a hum...

Hi guys, here are some build in progress pictures about my new project. it will be a white korina stratocaster with a schaller licensed floyd that i plan to finish on my own. while the body gets finished with a wudtone finish with the aim to get a black to red burst (thanks @stratamania for the...

Hi guys, for my new strat build i plan to have 3 true single coils (eric johnson signature set, all 2 conductor) and would love to use a 4 way switch for them (eg oak grigsby). reason for that is that i never use the middle position in strats and would like to eliminate this position for more...

Hi folks, a happy new year to you. i decided to write off some more money to order another warmoth build. :) for my next one, i would like to build a strat with a white korina body. for this one, i would like to do the dye and finish myself. the plan would be to archive a transparent red to...

hi folks, just finished my new velocity build which i created as a reminiscence to my old cane superstrat from the 90s. the build is a roasted maple neck with 24 frets paired with a black korina body and a flamed top. for the neck i chose the 3a option. i oiled the neck with just two coats of...

Hi guys, i just received my second warmoth build parts. I ordered an unfinished RM neck with RM fretboard and plan to finish it with some few doeses of tru oil. My goal is to make the wood details pop out a bit more with higher contrast and that ideally i would archieve a slightly smooth "oily"...

hi guys, just counting the days for my second warmoth build to arrive and i have one question in mind i like to get your input. i am a heavy tremolo user and decided in my first build to use the earvana tusq nut together with a good bridge and locking tuners. the result was spectacular out of...

hi folks, my first warmoth build is finally finished after i tested more than 10 pickups to find the right ones :). its a roasted alder tele with roasted swa top and a roasted maple neck, very happy with the result. kudos to stratamania for helping with the special 5 way wiring, the result was...

hi guys, i am again reconfiguring my HS Guitar. Installed is a Häussel single coil with 2 wires and a Seymour Duncan P Rails. I only have a volume pot and a blade switch and was wondering if i could realize this wiring with a tele 4 way switch: 1. humbucker series 2. humbucker parallel 3...

Hi Guys, i am short before pulling the trigger and would like to double check with you guys before i order. The concept i have in mind is a solid velocity guitar with with a HS config a 24 fret tele neck with a recessed NFT floyd tremolo. for the wood i consider to take korina with a birdseye...

Hi folks, i am thinking about ordering a new build in which i would like to try out the Floyd NFT. Unfortunately, I read a some bad things about the NFT and would be very glad to hear some first hand experiences from you before taking a wrong decision. I have these questions in my mind i...

Hi, just curious what is your best practise for mounting humbuckers to wood? I normally destroy the winding and widen it so far that a wood screw fit loosly through it. then i polster the space between pickup and wood with some elastic foam. alltough it is a barbaric solution, it works fine so...

Hi guys, I am waiting excited for my first warmoth build shipping. In my Build I will have a HS Pickup configuration and I would like to realize the following wiring: - 1 Volume - 3 Way Switch: Neck Singlecoil, Neck Singlecoil + Splitted Humbucker (making this position noiseless), Full...
