    Draculcaster

    I think it's mainly because my Dad introduced me to the old Lee Hammer films first that he's the one that comes to mind when I think about Dracula lol

    Draculcaster

    My wife gave me some encouragement to finally get my dream guitar this year. I looked high and low for a strat that I really loved and eventually came to the conclusion that for me to have my dream guitar, I'd have to build it myself. I didn't set out to build a strat that looked like this, but...

    Ordered my first guitar from Warmoth last night!

    Not permission per se...I just found it hard to justify paying 1500+ for a guitar. I've never owned a guitar worth more than $500ish. She encouraged me to get it.

    Ordered my first guitar from Warmoth last night!

    Feels good. When my wife gave me the green light to get my dream guitar, I thought what better way to get exactly what I want, than to custom build one through Warmoth.

    Satin Painted Neck Question (plus another)

    Satin Painted Neck Question (plus another)

    Finally nearing the ordering phase of my guitar build. I've got the body...just a satin black with an old Christopher Lee Dracula pick guard. That's sort of the theme I'm building around. For the neck, I'm down to two options. The first is a maple neck, painted satin black just like the body...

    Bloodwood Neck

    Yeah. I’m just using the same old English lemon stuff that I use on my fret boards. Thanks for the reply and I’ll definitely look into the burnish/polishing you mentioned.

    Bloodwood Neck

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on my first Warmoth Strat build and I decided on going with a bloodwood neck with an ebony fretboard. Is it really alright to leave the bloodwood unfinished? I don't mind doing that if it's going to hold up to every day playing. The body I'm going for is satin...
