    First build from Scratch.

    Disclaimer: No W parts were used in this build. I've been working lately at developing a line of guitars to try my hand at being a builder.  It's been ages since I've built a Warmoth, but once everything calms down I might just try my hand at a Warmoth Bass 6, but we'll see. In any case. ...

    21 & 22 fret Baritone Neck option

    I am going to convert an old Warmoth LP body to baritone, but 24 frets are the only option.  I understand the need for the fretboard to cover the body for a body originally designed for a shorter scale, (that seems to have been covered in a suggestion from 2013) but I don't need all 24 frets, so...

    WTS: Judging Interest. pre-C&D Les Paul Warmoth neck.

    Going through a lot of changes in my life and while I love this guitar, in it's current form it reminds me a bit too much of places and events I've played it that I'd rather not dwell on. I am thinking of rebuilding my W Les Paul as a baritone.  I haven't figured all of the details yet, other...

    Tension and Scale length vs. string length

    Something dawned on me and I wanted to ask the peanut gallery for opinions and experience (because this is my favorite peanut gallery) I've been interested in jumping into the extended range guitar world and right now there are a lot of crazes going on like headless guitars, multi-scale necks...

    Blocking Trem Cavity on a Guitar Kit

    Hi guys. It seems every time I come here to post, it's been 1 - 2 years since I last posted.  I should update some old build threads that I had going. I was doing a Full Range Cabinet build for my new amp modeler and such, but I've been fighting through a divorce with 3 kids for the last 2+...

    Intervals on Gear Gods

    Intervals is my newest jam.  At the moment the only member is its founder Aaron Marshal, he's touring with Plini and Animals as Leaders (I'm seeing them in Calgary Nov 18) and Plini makes up his touring band for the moment.  This guy's music on their newest album re-ignited my waning...

    fEARful cabinet build

    Hi Guys, I've probably posted 5 different threads in this forum trying to come to some idea of what I want in a new rig.  After much waffling and trying new things I've settled on the Positive Grid Bias amp head in a rackmount.  I've played with their software and the thing is pretty...

    My first From-Scratch build. Need some pointers.

    Hey guys. Hot on the heels of my GFS build, which churned out a half decent guitar I can be proud of for a mere $140, I have the building fever. Next in line is a fEARful cabinet for my new amp that should be arriving sometime in November.  But once that is done I'm starting a new guitar...

    Bass Fretwire size

    If I were planning to build a bass.. just hypothetically so that my wife doesn't think I could be serious about it or anything....  Would it be prudent to use the same fretwire I use on my guitar builds? I do not play bass, but I want to learn how to do it properly, and I might as well build a...

    GAS plans always change - Settled on what I want + Video!

    So I guess the one neat thing about putting your guitars in storage and covering your amp for 6 years is that when you come back to it there are so many new and amazing things for you to look at.  I didn't know if I'd ever get the GAS to long for new toys, and in fact, in those years I acquired...

    Gonna try a GFS and see if it sucks or not. **Done, Review on Pg3**

    Hi guys! Going on an adventure this time around!  I know it's been brought up before over the years (I did a forum search), but I have recently discovered Gutiar Fetish which is like a guitar hardware candy store.  Or...  well maybe dollar store.  I doubt much of what they have is very good...

    Peavey Bandit 112, Solo Series, Teal label.

    :blob7: :blob7: :blob7: :blob7: :blob7: I used this amp when I recorded my first record with a Fostex 4-Track when I was 16.  My High School punk band was called Eddie. It wasn't my amp. it was our drummers' brother-in-laws, and he let a bunch of us use it in a communal jam space.  I remember...

    Superstrat w/ Coil Tap idea

    Hey y'all, If anybody remembers back in the day, my Warmoth LP was stolen, and while I still plan on beating the guy to death that did it (with the guitar, if I ever find him/it) luckily my insurance paid for a new one. (this was about 7 years ago) The insurance company paid for the cost of...

    Royale body?

    Hi guys,  Please forgive me for being out of the know. I'm still depressed about Gibson giving Warmoth the finger back in the day, and I haven't been terribly active on the forums since back then, so I'm really out of touch with all the new stuff Warmoth offers. I see three Royale bodies on...

    Researching an Amp build (Update: Made my decision)

    Hi all.  It's been awhile (I say that every time I post) You know it's amazing what a music degree will do to your activity in music.  I have barely played my guitar at all the last 5 years, and it's about time I stop being depressed, because we all know not playing guitar is a depressing state...

    Advice on a reference amplifier.

    I have two TOA Electronics speakers I picked up on Kijiji awhile back to use as a jamming PA.  They came with a horrible amp, but one that at least worked for jamming in my basement.  The buddies I was jamming with aren't around anymore and I've been left with our equipment. I got the pair for...

    Phonograph cabinet Guitar amp

    *Heading you off before you get all pedantic on me for not calling it a gramophone* :P So a few years ago my wifes grandmother who had alzheimers had a fall and was sent to long term care.  She ended up selling her house and most of the the things that were in it went to family. (old sofas etc)...

    Post Secondary Education = Well informed Hobby? Need help.

    Hey guys, I thought I'd come here to pick your collective brains, maybe get some advice, and basically just to vent to a group of probably like-minded individuals.  I haven't been a regular poster here for much of the last few years while I've been in school (and paying for that, rather than new...

    The Slayer is Slain! :(

    I've never been a fan of Slayer, I'm not much into thrash or most metal in general, but I can appreciate when a giant has fallen.  I hope he's still shredding whatever he's up to.  Far too young.  :sad1: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1560534/slayer-guitarist-jeff-hanneman-dead-at-49
