Have we heard why they don't have the functionality to view all of the available bodies/necks at once anymore? There were more than a few times I almost clicked "buy" on something I never would have searched for. Seems like they've got to be missing out on sales this way. Outta sight, outta mind.

That’s pretty cool! Curious, don’t you usually have to let the wood dry out for a year or two indoors after cutting down? Feel like i’ve seen that when reading about wood turning, etc. Hopefully that body doesn’t warp on you after all that work! I’m envious though. Would love to try a scratch...

I did a touch of fret-end work just to be really excessive, but it was certainly playable out of the box.

Let's be real, there were better looking guitars and I voted accordingly. I'm not going to cry about my first-ever build being less amazing than some of these gorgeous builds. You all know, the reward is in the building itself...and, you know, the playing.

0 votes! Haha. Still got it  :laughing7: So many good ones. Congrats, Gil!  :headbang1:

Lots off good looking stuff this month! As much as I love mine, my vote is going elsewhere.

I had the same idea as you about a year ago and wanted to design my own guitar, but using some existing ones as templates to make sure the neck pocket, bridge, pickup routs, etc were all in the right place. I never found a drawing I was happy with and didn't have a good example of a body to...

Yeah, drilling out the ferrule was my first thought but that makes me nervous. You're depending on that edge to hold on to the string ball end without slipping. There may be a little room to spare and keep a strong hold, but I don't know. If Warmoth thinks you can get away without drilling, you...

This won't completely answer any of your questions but may be slightly useful. Just built a baritone tuned to A. Using .062 on the lowest string I had to drill out the Fender locking tuner a touch to get it to work. Did a lot of internet searching for locking tuners that would work with no clear...

OK, she’s all ready to rock! Swapped out the original chrome knobs for the white and it’s feeling more balanced. Threw on a string tree and did a quick intonation (more precise one will have to wait for me to get the good tuner back from a friend). Really happy with how it plays. Action is...

trying to build a Gecko 5 Medium neck. There's only one option for the choose your own fretboard pulldown- you can only select "yes". Obviously that's a dead end right now while we wait for custom picks, and because you can't move on to the next option until you select the previous one, you...

I can access from my desktop, but both my phone and ipad won’t connect. I’ve cleared cache and reset both browser and device. Any ideas?

Still not loading for me  :icon_scratch: [edit] scratch that. Just slow [edit of the edit] maybe we should start a bug thread? Not sure if this is actually a bug or not, but building a neck with purpleheart on purpleheart and the fretboard pic doesn’t look like the neck wood at all. So far...

Oh, man. That’s gonna be amazing. Oiled will look great, but i can’t help but think a black to clear burst would look unreal with that neck. That body wood is about as good as it gets though. And the neck, *chef’s kiss*

I've been reading a lot of articles and watching videos by Mike Adams aka Puisheen on youtube/instagram. He's recognized as one of the leading experts in offset guitars, gets tons of features in guitar magazines and by Fender themselves. He's worked on thousands of JM/Jags. If he says I need a...
