Hey guys, I know this has been dormant a while, but today I played a Gibson ES-335 Dot Reissue through my own amplifier and I feel like it provided EXACTLY the tones I've been looking for!  I'd still rather build the Mooncaster and end up with my own unique guitar rather than just buy the Gibson...

Hi all, So today I played a Gibson ES-335 Dot Reissue through my own amplifier, and I realized that this is EXACTLY the tone that I've been searching for for my next guitar:  I was able to get several different delightfully rich and warm jazz tones out of the neck pickup (the main thing I've...

Thanks Cagey, that answers my questions!  You are the man  :headbanging:

Hi all! Just a couple general questions about bridges... I guess I don't really know too much about the ups and downs of various bridges!  I'm thinking of putting a gold Gotoh Tune-O-Matic on a new mooncaster I am making, mostly just because I think it will look cool, but I don't know much...

Thanks again everyone!  I think I'm getting closer here... So I just want to clarify:  The general consensus I'm getting is that wood choice isn't going to have a significant impact on tone and I should just pick what I think looks best.  Is that correct? At this point I'm thinking a mahogany...

Thanks so much to all of you for your responses!  I feel better already  :) Does anyone have any specific pickups they would recommend for what I'm looking for?

Hi all! I'm a bit of a newbie with a question about pickups, but it requires a little background... I'll be brief! I'm currently planning my 2nd guitar (a mooncaster).  My 1st guitar is also a Warmoth build; basically a korina HSH Strat with some pickup mods that allow me to get a good variety...

Wow, thanks so much to everyone for the replies!  I was definitely under the impression that the mooncaster was a semi-hollow body... So I guess my question now is this:  Is the mooncaster a good choice for the tones I'm after?  Remember, I'm wanting to primarily play Jazz on this guitar, but...

Hi everyone! I'm a bit of a newbie and could use some input...  I am hoping to make a semi-hollow bodied electric guitar (probably a mooncaster) that could serve both as a primary guitar for playing Jazz, while also being a passable backup for my main Rock guitar.  I'm hoping I might be able to...

Hello all, While I've been playing music (mostly bass) for many years, I am still relatively new to guitar.  I took a few lessons from a very cool older gentlemen in my neighborhood, but for the most part I'm self taught.  I'd consider myself to be an intermediate player at this point, and I'm...

Thanks so much to everyone for the advice!  I just put her together this last weekend and my goodness... she came out better than I could have hoped!  I'll post some pics as soon  :headbang:

Hello everyone, In a few weeks I will be receiving my first ever Warmoth guitar, and will be faced with the task of putting it together myself (something I have absolutely no experience with).  Can anyone give me any advice, or point me towards a video, article, book, etc. that can guide me...
