The reply today reminded me that I shouldn't leave a post hanging like this. I checked with StewMac and they say their color tone is definitely good for spray and recommend their alternate WB product for brushing. I believe that one of the posts earlier hit the nail on the head about KTM-9. It...

That is a good idea. I was guessing that KTM-9 may be formulated for brushing. It performs perfectly under that use, I'm loving the leveling that's happening with this baby start. Though as pointed out, perhaps mine was thickened a bit from sitting on the shelf for so long. Not certain the...

I believe it was two years ago I bought this can, I'm looking for the receipt. I hope you are correct, I didn't even think of it and I was loath to change finishes because of how perfectly it levels when brushing. Indeed, there was only a third of a can left when I started this job, so it...

Hello, I purchased one of the first 7/8ths bodies when Warmoth began to offer that option, it's an oldy. At the time, I didn't finish it, I just wanted to test out some sounds using a short scale swamp ash body. This year, I got the hankering to actually finish the thing and had lots of KTM-9...

I don't think I'd call them "fine" exactly. I wasn't going to go there given how off-the-wall it will be, it's a bit dull, but.... ;). It's an experiment, both with the neck, scale and pickups. I've been planning it for a long time, bought everything and even had built a similar sized body, but...

On the weight issue. I am surprised myself, the original weight I quoted was very close (the FedEx receipt was from a completely different vendor... DOH, it was pore filler ). Anyway, I weighed the 7/8s on a USPS digital scale and it was 4.3. This is missing the bridge PU route and bridge holes...

In the more rational dawn, I agree. In fact, I checked the FedEx stat and it shows they considered it 2.0 lbs/.9kg as the ship weight which must include the box. I tossed a 1 1/4 pound plate mate on that scale and it showed 1.5 lbs, the scales error is probably non-linear but it's clearly shot...

My son just gave me the word, "It's pics or GTFO with the internet nowadays" ;). I thought I was supposed to be teaching HIM about life. It's two piece, but a good match. I will be painting it though. The dot is the index hole.

I would not have posted had I realized that. My camera is dead, the battery won't charge. It does exist, the Warmoth invoice says STRAT BODY, 7/8, SASH, R/R, HXX(INDEX OK), XXXX, NO BRG, 7/8SJ, LANP. Then contoured heel separately. Note to self: "buy camera BEFORE posting no matter how excited...

I was happy to come home to a Warmoth box. The Monday after they announced the 7/8s, I called them and custom ordered a Swamp Ash S, contoured heel, angled pocket, neck HB route, instrument cavity, deleting trem and bridge routes. I already have it and I think the announcement was just two...

You might try rolling your own. Windworld.com offers films in lengths to do any sort of mounting. They have multiple sizes, so you can split or use a single strip. I bought some to test with but haven't gotten around to disassemble and rework my 12-string yet. My plan was to affix them to the...

Thanks. I was thinking of custom ordering without trem or bridge route for a short scale neck I have that has a standard fender heel.  I'm guessing the body to be about 13.75-14 inches which would be perfect. This will save many hours of woodworking for tiny guitars. I'm calling Monday morning.

Are the pocket dimensions on the 7/8 S (or T) body still identical to the pocket dimensions on the standard replacement body?  I'm referring to the 3x2 3/16 dimension.

I'm now questioning my memory, I did another search realizing it could have been anytime from early summer to December. What I thought I saw was that the underlying stain or dye grayed such that the effect was rather like a chrome and no browns coming through after clear coat. Everything I came...

Sure. I'll dig through the search list later today, working right now. I tried last night but couldn't find what I was talking about. I'm now thinking earlier December or even November time frame since I think the big discount was on at that time. I'd bet Warmoth did the finishes I'm talking...
