Updated pic/info. I still make those on demand if needed.

We all need a good laugh with those marketing videos. If he dreamt of these for 40+ years, I'd imagine he would have had those buttons made when they had custom Gotoh tuners made for them (Phase III) years ago.

While I'm not working on an electric guitar this time the problem is the same: I have a new ebony fingerboard already slotted, fret wire pre-radiuses (slightly over-radiuses). Tap the two ends first and then gently hammer the fret in. In most cases that goes smoothly, but there's always so far a...

Oh looking nice!

Yep, that works. It can however get a little funny/DIY-looking around the countersunk holes depending on the wood used. I can make the covers nearly as thin as plastic ones but it's more time consuming (unless the piece I'm starting with is already at the adequate thickness) and when it gets as...

As for Warmoth doing it: 1) too high of a cost that very few would care to pay, 2) would open the door to too many complaints from Karen users ('it's not a perfect match', 'it's not a perfect color', 'oh it cusped/warped when I applied my finish/water based dyes', ' it doesn't fit with the extra...

Good timing as I haven't been checking the forum very must at all the past year. @ghostrider25 would you happen to be the same person who contacted me via Reverb ? The ones I make usually look like this: If it's for a guitar with anything other than the Strat control layout then the cover...

Unless your finish is lacquer it's not going to wear in the first place.

I bought several Strat ones years ago, they were all 4-5lbs, not lightweight but not that heavy. Never got to build any guitar with them though. On the plus side typical natural finishes you would use for Koa are going to be a fair bit more lightweight than most a solid finishes (metallic/pearl...

One of the neck's Showcase price more than doubles once you click on it. See VMS-18574 at $725: Go to its page at https://warmoth.com/vms-18574 and it becomes slightly more unappealing :) :

Came here to say thank you ! A little overdue but better late than never lol I was browsing the site "accidentally" this morning then it struck me I was no longer waiting 5-10s for pages to show bodies. I can browse the showcase again; not necessarily a good thing for me but it's good for...

Just don't assume you will be able to replicate that easily with his liquid dyes. I tried that specific color/video years ago using the liquid dyes, unsuccessfully.

Curiosity got the better of me when Warmoth released a short run of new flake finishes last week, but ultimately I really don't need to build yet another Strat. Specs are straightforward: - Basilisk flake finish - Lightweight: 4lbs 0oz - Ash body

Just got mine earlier today. Here's a close up video (just uploaded so you might have to wait a bit for YouTube to post the highest quality version): I like it, but as I said I really didn't need yet another body... I'll probably put it up for sale here first at cost if anyone is interested.

That's great... as if I needed another body. Basilisk Flake on the way :ROFLMAO:
