I’ve got a Warmoth top routed Strat body finished by Warmoth that is routed for SSS and I’d like to make it an HSS (or universal). Is it possible to modify it or is that a bad idea due to the poly finish? I know that Warmoth doesn’t do it. I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth doing or selling...

Body Construction: Chambered Core Wood: Black Korina Lam Top Wood: Black Korina Unique Choice: Yes Control Cavity: Rear Rout (Standard) Neck Pickup Rout: Strat Middle Pickup Rout: Strat Bridge Pickup Rout: Humbucker Controls: Volume 1, Tone 1, Tone 2 Jack Rout: 7/8" (22mm) Side Jack Hole Bridge...

Does anyone have a wooden control cover guy for rear routed Warmoth strats? I’ve been scouring the darkest corners of the interwebz looking for someone who makes them. I think it would look a lot nicer than the standard issue black plastic. Also, has Warmoth ever considered making them? I’m...

I found a great deal on an unfinished body on Reverb that I paired with a Warmoth neck I’ve had for a while waiting for the right project. I sanded down the edges of the body to round them out and shaved down the heel to make a contour similar to Warmoth‘s contoured heel. As someone who is...

I’ve got a project body going where I am using big box store Tung Oil “finish” (so not pure tung oil) and I want to go for a matte natural looking finish. How many coats would you suggest I use for that kind of look and to still get some protection for the wood from sweat and the elements? The...

I’m looking to have unplated brass hardware for my HSS build and I’ve discovered that it’s darn near impossible to get unplated brass pickup covers. I just happened to find a humbucker cover but still no single coil covers with 52mm spacing. Would anyone happen to know where I could acquire...

I'd like to hang some of my nice looking Warmoths but I'm a bit concerned about UV fading the color. Ever since my very first El Cheapo guitar faded from leaving it on a stand 100% of the time, I've kept all subsequent guitars in cases. But they look so nice, plus it's nice to be able to just...

I've had a couple of guitars with nickel humbuckers and they enevitably start to look really nasty. I try to be disciplined and wipe them down after every use which definitely helps but is not 100%. So my question to you guys is what do you do to keep them clean, shiny, and polished?

Help me out. Where are you guys getting your neck plates engraved? Thanks!

Can anyone pass along a diagram for an SSS 5 way switch in which tone 1 controls the neck and middle and tone 2 controls the bridge only? Thanks guys!  :occasion14:

I'm building an HH strat with 1 vol & 2 tone controls and a 5 way switch. What I'd really like to do is wire it to be able to split the humbuckers in positions 2 & 4, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. There are a ton of diagrams out there that match my hardware config but they rarely...

I have a SSS warmoth strat body and I'd like to be able to put in a bridge humbucker. Can (would?) Warmoth modify the existing routing to accommodate this?

So I recently got a new neck for one of my non-Warmoth gits. I bolted it on and it felt and sounded great. I LOVED it. I thought to myself, "This is the neck I will be buried with." Then I decided I wanted to add a water slide decal (headstock refinished of course). Done. So I bolt the neck back...

So yesterday was a NND :blob7: (sorry no pics yet). It's a Black Korina + Ebony. The BK is finished in satin nitro—I know gloss looks better for BK but it's too sticky for me. Anyway, I want to put a waterslide decal on the headstock and finish it (the front of the headstock) with gloss. I found...

This is my first Warmoth build and I'm sold. Their quality is second to none, IMO. Anyway, it's been finished for about a month now and I just can't put it down! The raw neck is so smooth and fast and the guitar sounds fantastic. The tone sounds somewhere between Hendrixy and SRVish which is...

Can anyone give me tips on how to do this? I'm having trouble getting the solder to stick. Do I need to rough up the surface of the claw? If so, how? I read on another site that recommended using the iron to heat and deform a point on the claw and then solder but I can't seem to get it hot...

So I'm working on my first build and I have the Warmoth Wiring Kit which comes with Black, White, Red, and Coax wires. My biggest question is where to use the coax? I'm wiring up a standard 3 pot (2 tone, 1 vol) SSS strat (Fender CS 69's). The diagram that came with the pickups looks to be the...

I have a 1998/1999 Jackson DK2 and I'd like to replace the neck. Any idea if the Warmoth necks would fit? I haven't removed the neck yet but I think that the heel on the Jackson is more square than the Warmoth/Fender style (?)
