Hello old friends. Some of the older members here may remember me and this guitar from when I posted it several years ago in this thread:http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=4106.0 I wanted to let you guys know that I'm putting that Mockingbird up for sale. I wish I didn't have to sell...

Hello old friends. Some of the older members here may remember me and this thread and this guitar from several years ago. I know I haven't been here in a while, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm putting this Mockingbird up for sale. I wish I didn't have to sell it, but I'm unemployed...

Ted, Is that yours? That's a beauty! Nevertheless, to my eye, that 3x3 headstock looks out of place when used with the Mockingbird body style. I think it would look great on a Gretsch or some other type of more "conventional" electric guitar body style, but not on a Mockingbird. B.C. Rich has...

That's an interesting concept. I've never seen a Tele bridge pickup mounted directly to the wood like that before.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't answer that because I didn't finish this guitar myself. The finish on this guitar was done by Warmoth. Sure. I'll try to post some halfway decent pics of the back shortly.

Kostas, I'm sorry. I got so irritated by what stubhead wrote that I completely overlooked your post. I would recommend against that. If you "cut" the Tele bridge, to what will you mount your bridge pickup? I'm not exactly sure which bridge you're referring to here. I will say that the...

Thanks. Anyone care to revise their nominations in Max's "Best Guitar Ever" thread? :laughing7: You betcha! As with my Mockingbird, I can best describe the tone as "sparkle & roar". I get sparkling clean tones out of the EMG 81 at the neck and roaring high-gain palm-mute & powerchord riffs out...

stubhead, Read what happened to me when I ordered my Mockingbird. http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=4106.0 I did ask for the "string-thru-holes only" option and they drilled the mounting holes for the "Narrow-Spaced Strat" bridge anyway. I think it likely that that mistake would...

The above image is that of the modern (5 mounting hole) string-thru-body hardtail Strat-style bridge made by Gotoh. It's basically a carbon-copy of the modern string-thru-body hardtail bridge that Fender puts on their current American Standard Hardtail Strats. This is my preferred type of bridge...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share with all of you some pics of my first all-Warmoth guitar. Some of you may have seen this guitar when I discussed it briefly and posted one pic a little while back in this thread: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=3973.0 However, I wanted...

I've never asked Warmoth if they can make the Kenneth Lawrence/Hetfield headstock without the "bevels". However, I do know that you can't just call them up and order a Kenneth Lawrence/Hetfield neck. They told me that those necks are not made to order, but rather are made in batches for the...

Short answer: No. Long answer: When you say, "standard strat neck", do you mean a neck that has just a slot for a standard plastic/bone/tusq/corian/graphite nut? If that's the case, then your neck WILL need to be modified to accommodate a Floyd Rose-style locking nut. The modification includes...

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. As I said in the first post of this thread, I tend to be more of a rhythm guitarist and don't really play solos very often, so I knew that I didn't want a tremolo of any kind (that includes the Floyd Rose). Two of my other guitars have recessed Original Floyd Rose...

Cool. How do like the JSX? You mentioned earlier that it's a bit on the bright side; are you using the stock EL34 tubes in it? Have you ever tried swapping out the EL34's for 6L6's? From what I've read about the JSX, it's a very easy operation to carry out and it would certainly make your amp...

Thanks. Oh, hey Doc, I just noticed something. You said your amp is a JSX, but in the picture below your screen name is what appears to be a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Road King combo. :icon_scratch:
