I noticed on my Velocity that after a few years and a bunch of hot outside performances in Florida, that a bushing on one of my Wilkinson bridge posts (installed by Warmoth) is pulling out slowly. I noticed the guitar wasn't staying in tune at the gig, and after an inspection at home, I see it...

Right out of the box, here is my chambered quilted maple/korina flat top Velocity with satin finish.

I received my roasted maple/ebony neck with the LSR prep done, as well the nut itself, also ordered from Warmoth. A test fit of the nut revealed that it can slide in about 2/3rds of the way from the bass side, and just stops. I don't want to hammer it in, but it is not moving past 2/3rds in. I...

Several years ago, I built a swamp ash & maple Strat body and paired it with a wenge neck. Wonderful guitar, but it was neck heavy. I am thinking of having a black korina/maple top Velocity body made. I really don't want it to be neck heavy if I get a super light chambered body, but I also...

I have some Hipshot open gear locking tuners, and I want to order a neck. The tuner hole size they need is 10mm, or 25/64. Do I order the neck with Schaller or Sperzel tuner holes? Or are they the same? Why have 2 different choices at the same size?

Does anyone know if you order a black square jack plate if it comes with black screws?

What looks better on bloodwood, black or cream dot inlays?

I've used scalloped fingerboards for a long time, but never built a Warmoth with one yet. Being that a good portion of the wood is not there, and the string is contacting the top of the frets only, how big of an influence does the wood have? If I have a roasted maple neck, and I am deciding on...

A few years ago, I built a Warmoth for a blog on the Seymour Duncan site, and it is one beautiful guitar. Over the years, I realize that I don't play it as much because it is considerably neck heavy. It has a maple top and chambered swamp ash (S-style) body, and I think the weight of the body...

Considering a Velocity body, as I am intrigued by the smaller body type (I am not very tall myself). I am wondering how heavy the smaller body has to be to balance out either a 25.5" or 24.75" neck. Obviously, this depends on the neck construction and particular piece of wood. But I don't want...

Does Warmoth’s builder only allow dyes on quilted or flame maple? I was thinking of a black korina top, but either transparent red paint or red dye, but the dye doesn’t seem to be an option. How close is the transparent red and the red dye, anyway? Also, I noticed when choosing a transparent...

I am trying to decide on the next project. I want a light guitar, and one that is fairly small-bodied. I don't see many comparisons between a Velocity and Soloist. The Soloist seems narrower in the waist, which the Velocity has less wood behind the bridge. Anyone have any insights as to which...

With headless guitars being more popular than ever, I'd love to see Warmoth's take on a simple double cutaway, 22 fret design. Most headless guitars are 24 frets, which kills the neck pickup sound to me. Companies offering headless instruments these days don't quite do it for me...I still use my...

This is an instrument I built a few years ago for the Seymour Duncan Blog here. I am the admin of their forum, and have written many blogs about all sorts of guitar stuff on their site. This project had parts from the Showcase: a chambered swamp ash & maple body, with a wenge/ebony neck w/SS...

Hi all, first post here. I was reading a quite a few posts about Goncalo Alves and how it is a pretty heavy wood. While different websites say that it is certainly denser than maple, I wonder if anyone here has ever compared it as a Strat neck wood to a maple/rosewood combo. I don't want 'neck...
