In the event sombody on here is itchin' for a Koa top, I just posted this killer Warmoth unique choice Koa top with Roasted swamp ash body on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/81081417-warmoth-noventa-telecaster-and-or-fender-road-worn-stratocaster-neck Only reason I am selling it is because I...

For those needing reference, my thinline has a Warmoth unique choice KOA top on a roasted swamp ash body with a Warmoth unique choice Pau Ferro board and a roasted maple neck:

No connection, just stupid little things I do to merge my passions. I love Billy. And Waylon. And a whole bunch of others!

Well, I swapped out the Warmoth Telecaster neck (and put it on my Warmoth Koa Thinline) for a Warmoth reverse Stratocaster neck. I then applied a Warmoth metallic sticker, and then had "binding" painted on. Gotta say that the picture below doesn't do it justice!

Thanks for the nice comments y'all! No, it has not been "officially" setup. But it plays, feels, intonates, and sounds great up and down the entire neck. See picture below for my starting EQ settings (settings I use at home). For gigs/band practices I tweak 'em as needed given the room and other...

Thanks everybody for the kind words about my Warmoth "Noventa" Telecaster! Here is my latest homage... this one should be a bit more obvious 8^). Too bad I can't play it like this axe's inspiration! Details: ~ Warmoth Swamp Ash body (2 pounds 8 ounces!). Color choices by me, but painted and...

My (attached) Warmoth Tele Thinline welcomes yours to the family!

Moving from "Just Out of the Box" to the "Gallery" per another user's suggestion... Warmoth has once again delivered an outstanding body. This time it is a white-bound Unique Choice flamed Koa top+Roasted Swamp Ash body Telecaster. Chambered and with an F-Hole, so that it looks/feels/sounds...

Warmoth bound the Pau Ferro/roasted maple neck, and did an incredible job. The headstock binding was done by Goat Peak. The white "binding" in the F-Hole was done by me with a paint pen as a proof of concept. I am hoping to have it officially bound later now that the headstock was a success...

Thanks! The satin finish on top of the Pau Ferro is starting to wear under the forearm, revealing an even more pleasing appearance (IMHO). I wish it would wear out across the entire top!

The binding work was done by the great people over at https://www.goatpeakstrings.com/

For the bound Telecaster headstock fans out there, see attached...

I couldn't give you a fair answer to that, as I didn't A/B it against anything else. And even if I did, I certainly can't claim to describe tonal differences between saddle types. But... they feel great under the palm, stay intonated, and coupled with everything else in my tonal chain, well, I...
