I've recently completed a Tele Deluxe build for my cousin which turned out really nice (build thread to follow). However, this is the third time (50% of my Warmoth builds) where I have encountered a truss rod issue with my Warmoth necks (2 roasted maple, 1 wenge). Essentially, in all three...

I'm building a Tele Deluxe for my cousin and he wants the pitch-black ink look but ideally without having any grain pop through. He sent me this picture as a reference: This finish, to me, looks like someone just put on 10 coats of ink without sealer or any clear/oil coating. I managed to talk...

I have a 2002 Fender American Fat Strat (HSS) which I've played extensively for 23 years now. As you can imagine, the frets are worn out. The neck is 25.5" long, 9.5" radius throughout and the nut is 1.6875". This would be my first refret ever and I would love to put stainless steel on - but...

My favorite guitar is a Warmoth strat with a standard thin roasted maple neck (12-16) and Lollar blackface pickups. However, the other day I entered a guitar store and played a Fender CS strat and it just blew me away. Ever since, I've been wondering a) what it was that I loved about this guitar...

This guitar will be donated to someone in need. Warmoth replaced a slightly broken body which was used for this build. I used it as a basis for this guitar. Parts were donated by @vernschrock, @Rick, @aarontunes, Warmoth and myself. The guitar was assembled by me. Build Thread...

I thought some people might be interested in this. I have been playing tube amps + pedals and a Kemper (thanks to Mark @TBurst Std ) for a while and while I love digital amps, I do understand all the subjective opinions regarding the unique feel of tube/cab. That's why I always kept a tube amp...

EDIT (Nov 2024): final pics and specs at the bottom. Hi all, As some of you know, some amazing folks on this site have decided to donate for a Flying V we will donate for charity. A big shout out to @Rick, @vernschrock and @aarontunes and the whole amazing Warmoth team to make this happen...

Hi all, I have a wiring question and need help. Thanks so much in advance! I want to a 2 humbucker - 1 volume - 1 tone (push/pull coil split) - 3 way switch setup. However, instead of using a standard Switchcraft toggle switch, I want to use a Göldo EL013 on/on/on mini switch (dpdt). How would...

Can we all please celebrate me for a moment?! I have the-number-of-the-beast posts on UW. What a time to be alive!!! To remember this moment for all eternity:

Edit July 14 2024 the guitar is done (see pictures below and details in the rest of the thread): --- Time for a new build. I pretty much decided to build a very extravagant brother for my Metal Tele. Here are the specs: V-K body: Black Korina 2 Humbuckers 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 1...

I recently ordered a neck and a Flying V body (V-K). The body arrived with a small dent on the wing. After writing Warmoth, they immediately put in production a new body which they will send in 2-3 weeks. So far so amazing re Warmoth customer service... ...but now I will have two identical...

I have a strange problem (or I am missing something crucial). I recently tuned a hardtail Warmoth guitar down to D. After receiving a lot fret buzz as a result, I decided to add relief to the neck. I actually ended up giving a good 4 full turns after which I finally got to a point where the buzz...

I recently ordered a Black Korina Flying V (can't wait!) and I am now starting to contemplate how to finish it. I built this LP in the past with tru oil and it looks stunning: For my new V, I was wondering if there's a way to replicate this finish but darken the wood without losing the...

I'm on the verge of building another Warmoth. The body is going to be Black Korina (transparent black). The "tone" I am going for is an in-your-face metal tone. I am a serial buyer of roasted maple (shaft and fretboard) and wenge/ebony (shaft/fretboard). This time, I'm planning on going for...

Has anyone of you made experiences with Ceriatone? If yes, which of their amps can you recommend? There are so many, I don't even know where to start... Also is there a list which of them is a replica of which original?

It's time - I need a new guitar! I pretty much settled on a V this time given that I recently joined a metal band. Here's my huge problem: I am torn between building or getting an off-the-shelf V (e.g. the Schecter Evil Twin :love:). My dramatic emotional rollercoaster has led me here...

As @TBurst Std knows, I have gone mostly digital. But lately, I've made it hobby optimizing my beloved amp. Situation: I have recently bought the Boss ES-5 Switcher/Looper as per @stratamania's advice (see other thread). The device has an amazing functionality to control an amp's channels...
