No reason to hide it if you are partaking here in WA state.  The hole is where I hide the rolled up piece of paper with my online passwords.  Can't remember those to save my life!

Putting it in the oven should speed up the curing process. :headbanging: If it hasn't stopped stinking in six years...  you may be SOL.

The joy of creating something.  The hands on experience of fitting parts, adding more to the carves, and learning how things work.  Knowing that most of the guess work is taken care of by a quality and custom manufacturer is a very sexy reason to go warmoth.  I have been carving my own bodies...

For some reason I thought the 7/8 builder stated that it had to be a 7/8 neck when I bought mine.  I would have bought the Mustang neck if I knew it would have worked.  Still love the guitar though, aside from the headstock.

Every time I custom order I end up second guessing myself as I wait.  I have not cancelled or changed any, and once they are built I am always impressed.  If you cancel, it I may buy it from the Screamin' Deals section!

I built a 7/8 tele, all mahogany, and have zero regrets.  I wish there were more headstock options, but I really like the weight and feel of it. 

I searched, and then bought, a box of 5" random orbital discs.  Add "ultra fine" to your query and they popped right up!  10 each from 400-2000 grit.  Will make it easier to rough one out before a little hand finishing!

I was getting it last week, and still was this morning, when trying to access my orders and looking at some hardware.

So what happened next?  How did the basswood end up?

I used to be able to click the Screamin Deals Buttons and see ALL of the hot deals in one spot.  Is that still hidden in there somewhere?

I bought a roasted alder 2 tek routed Jazzmaster body, when I saw that 2 tek bridges were actually back in stock.  I have the body prepped for install, but I am wondering if anyone has a recommended way of grounding the bridge. In the install instructions it says that it needs to be grounded. ...

I wish I could see ALL in stock necks (and bodies) and sort from there.  The only option I am seeing is to sort from individual headstock (body shape) styles.  Is there a workaround?

Just about got this one whipped.  Waiting on knobs to arrive this week, but otherwise this one has come together and is playing beautifully!  Will pay some pics when I get it done.

I was thinking the same thing about the old musician's friend (and AMS) mailers from the 90's.  I spent so many hours thumbing through those!  It would be fun to see then again.

Will post updated pics on my Work in Progress page as we go.  Thanks for the advice!
