Woop, I've had a lot of Warmoth products in the past but always used, because customs and postage to the UK is eye watering. However I lost sleep over this neck and despite it being a terrible time financially to buy it, I just couldn't let it go. I have a build project on the go but I'm...

Hi guys, can I ask a massive favour? I need a control cover for my soloist but unfortunately my body didn't come with one. They are an odd size / screw spacing and while warmoth will supply a replacement it means paying for an incredible amount of postage to send from the US to the UK. Now...

So I should prefix this by saying that I bought this body for a deal, from Australia, just before the Covid stuff started (I'm in the UK). It took 3 1/2 months and in which time my focus shifted and I made the Dreamsicle / Orange Split Fender / Prs hybrid in this forum...

I have an old school carved top Soloist body I'm currently refinishing. I've never built a carved top before and the only one I own is a PRS which has large wells around the pot holes to recess the knobs into. On this Warmoth I can see that the holes for the controls are stright down, but the...

Intro Hey guys, here’s my new build :) I call it “The Dreamsicle” for lack of a better name (I’m sure you can work out why - fun fact in the UK we don’t have Dreamsicles - we call them Orange Splits). It’s basically a hybrid of a Strat and a PRS Custom 24-08 with some modifications to turn...

Hey, Starting a new project and looking for a 25.5 Strat scale neck in Roasted Flame Maple. It's to go on a Soloist body. I am open to different fretboard materials (including Roasted Flame Maple) but darker woods would also be great. Not overly worried about headstock, ideally Vortex but...

Ok. let me start this off properly, This build is not in any way a satisfactory substitution for a Warmoth, there is no substitute, I would rather build another Warmoth than buy another Fender or anything else. This build is a project to help me, learn lots of valuable woodwork and guitar...

Hi all, I really would like to recreate the Chris Henderson PRS triple humbucker signature model look with a warmoth build. With the 20% off sale it's timely and I'd like some vets input on the body finish and type to get the right look. Have any vets here with experience got an eye for what...

Hi all, currently on my Warmoth Strat I run a set of SD SSL-1 Vintage stagger poles but the sound is very similar to my US Strat and am looking to try and recreate the Clapton tone. I read that EC used "Gold Lace Sensor pick-ups and an updated MDX circuit that had been tweaked up to 25dB boost...

Hi all, Hopefully someone here can help me. I have a 97 Fender Strat and a new Warmoth. The Warmoth's maple neck feels a lot faster than the Fender's. The lacquer of the Fender has become sticky over the years. Does anybody have any tips as to how I can get the glide back without damaging the...

Now to the experienced and the knowledgeable changing a pickguard is the easiest thing in the world. But what if you're like me, a lone builder who knows nobody else who plays, let alone builds guitars? There are pitfulls that you can across in your build process that people don't often talk...

Following the advice of you lot here at UW I've decided to change the colour of my pickguard and covers on my Warmoth Strat. Does anybody here have experience of changing pickup covers? Is it a case of the covers will just slide off or is there more to it? Any help or experience would be...

Hi all, I'm new here, first post so i thought what better way to start off than to say hi, show you some pics of my W strat and give you my little story. I'm Daz, I'm 24 from Somerset England and have been playing guitar for 6 months. I take lessons and spend an obscene amount of time on the...
