That‘s a very generous offer! ;) But seriously, I got very lucky with that pedal. I live about an hour from where Bill Finnegan started building his Klon pedals back in 1994. I was intrigued by the looks of it more than anything, but I hadn’t heard one at that point. Then one day I saw an ad...

By the way, here’s a build I did a couple years ago: * Warmoth Swamp Ash Strat body * Gracey’s Finishes * Fender Player neck with Floyd Rose nut * Floyd Rose Original * Seymour Duncan ‘78 and Fender Fat 50’s pickups

When I purchased the EVH neck, I wasn’t aware that it didn’t have the “Fender Standard” heel. After receiving it, I noticed the extended squared-off heal, looks like about 1/4“ longer than standard. I can’t shorten the neck due to the truss rod wheel, so that leaves routing the body. Hope my...

Now that the summer is over, I‘m looking forward to doing a fall/winter build. Decided on a Van Halen inspired Super Strat; Strat body, one humbucker, one knob, Floyd Rose, maple neck. I’ve developed back issues over the years so an ultralight body is essential. I paid the $40 upcharge...

The body just arrived, and I’m very happy! After unpacking, I placed the body on my postal scale, and it measures 3 LBs, 3.7 Oz, even better than what I was hoping for! Warmoth really comes through when you request extra light weight. (y) Next, I need to get some pore filler and start the...

I realize this is a 13 year old thread, however I just experienced a similar situation. I ordered a Strat body, Swamp Ash, unfinished, and paid the extra $40 for lightweight wood (I can only play lightweight guitars due to back problems). Warmoth completed the body today and I received UPS...

When I spoke to Warmoth Customer Care, they said it started happening a few years ago. It’s hit or miss. Sometimes they come during normal business hours, other times they come after 5. I just happened to get unlucky!

Back in August, I ordered a custom unfinished body (Strat body, SSH, Floyd cutout, lightweight Swamp Ash) and was quoted 3 - 4 weeks. I elected to send in the Floyd Rose studs instead of just paying the extra $25 to purchase a new pair through Warmoth. What I didn’t know was that the clock...
