A follow-up to my OP -- which, yes, was from three-and-a-half years ago, and Full Confession: I have not done anything to the instrument since then. Those finish aberrations are still there, haven't successfully sanded them off, haven't applied any additional coats of Helmsman Spar, haven't...

...provided you can wait. :( Two guys in NYC with much shorter turnaround times who've done wonderful work correcting the screwups that I've made with my Warmoth builds are Evan Gluck at New York Guitar Repair, and Paul Nieto at GuitarTechNYC. Both of them are extremely skilled, thoughtful, and...

Might want to add padouk shaft with ebony fingerboard to your list. I have a Warmoth guitar-in-progress with that combination and it looks and feels phenomenal. https://i.postimg.cc/W1FwgRWD/Padouk-neck-front.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tCmzsR5Q/Padouk-neck-rear.jpg (Note, after those pics were...

My recording signal path is: - Demeter VTMP-2b tube microphone preamp - Lucid AD9624 analog-to-digital converter - MOTU 2408 audio interface - Mac running Digital Performer On occasion I'll insert a compressor in between the mic pre and the A/D...usually an AudioArts 1200, sometimes an...

Apologies for the zombie thread resurection, but fwiw I used a Warmoth all-Brazilian Ebony bass neck on this bass which had a Swamp Ash P Bass body, and just by cheating the rear strap button a couple inches off center I was able to ameliorate any neck dive. Obviously I sold the bass, but not...

Is it really a "Steve Morse Inspired" guitar if it only has 3 pickups?

Is that Eric Johnson with the red ES-335?!?! I did not expect to see him mixing it up with Vai and Satriani (though he certainly holds his own in that shred-fest).

Wait, wut? John Zorn a guitar player!?!?! I don't think so.

SOLD!

the youtube algorithm introduced me to guitarist Matteo Mancuso the other day, so I've been checking out his work. Impressive chops, but not just in the "look at me!" sense.

"Motivated Seller" (read: my wife says I need to clear out more space in the closet) so make me a reasonable offer!

I gotta figure that after 12 pages someone else might have mentioned this already, but just in case... Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, and Progressive Rock strike me as two if not three separate (sub-)genres. There is so much "Progressive Rock" that is neither Hard nor Heavy...and a shit-ton of Hard...

Gotta admit, this is the first time I've ever heard the terms "high end" "esoteric" and/or "boutique" associated with a stompbox from tc electronics.
