Hey! I wanted to share the builds I’m working on right now. The strat body is a mahogany lam top over a pretty plain two-piece mahogany. Its neck is canary wood with an ebony fingerboard. The mooncaster body is walnut over mahogany, and the neck is mahogany with a wenge fingerboard...

Thanks for the information! I thought the only difference was an 1/8” roundover instead of 1/4” on the sides. I’ve changed the title. Also, a little update! After acclimating to string tension for a day and a tiny bit more adjusting it plays great! Not perfect by any means but enough that I’ll...

Okay, the heritage cherry finish I did had a lot of issues. There were bits of dust and stuff, plus I sanded through the finish during pre-cure level sanding. Hand sanded all of it off which was my inspiration to buy an orbital sander 🤣 which I now have and love! I opted for a tru oil finish...

Working on my second Warmoth build, and my first time finishing a guitar myself! The body is mahogany, and I’m finishing it with supplies from Stewmac. So far I’ve filled the grain, sealed it, and applied the first layer of cherry red. Process has been far from problem free (you can see the spot...

well, I got her all put together and strung up! Have a bit of a grounding issue to sort out, and the action isn’t perfect. I think most of my issues with the action will be solved, just adding a little bit of relief to the neck which is right now almost perfectly straight. I am immensely happy...

No, sorry! I believe that’s the cost of the pickups. I should have cropped that out of the photo!

I still need to string it up and probably install string trees, and sort out whatever is causing the control plate to bow out a little bit. But I am THRILLED.

I did some work on it tonight, the one snag I seem to have hit so far is the bridge ferrules don’t want to go in AT ALL. I’m imagining it has something to do with the thicker flake paint job. Anyone have any ideas on a good way to fix this issue?

Thanks! 😁

Oh, forgot this one! Here’s the body, neck and pickguard together! Gives a pretty good idea of what it’ll look like in the end!

The parts have arrived!! Have to wait until the kids are asleep before I start on the project, but here’s the body and neck! 🤘

Aaahhh! It’s shipping today!

Thanks Rick! I’ll make sure to post here when it all arrives and I can get started!

Hey y’all! Just wanted to share that I ordered my first ever build! Definitely went all out on this one too. The body is swamp ash and will be painted in gold flake, double bound with white binding. The neck is rosewood and the fingerboard is ebony, with white binding. Stainless jumbo frets and...
