    Translucent Sonic Blue - My second build

    I've put two thin layers of Tru-Oil on it. That for sure made it darker, but the neck itself was darker than average.

    Translucent Sonic Blue - My second build

    Greetings! After 5 years since the initial (and a bit bumpy) build I've finally pulled a trigger and build another strat. This one is Mark Lettieri's strat inspired as I've fell in love with Translucent Sonic Blue over Swamp Ash. Specs: Body: Extra light Swamp Ash, Translucent Sonic Blue...

    I've finally found my holy grail

    Aaaand... here it is! My first Warmoth Strat. Even though I've ran into some problems while building this Strat (more later in this post), the result is... well, let's put it this way.. I was making this kind of noises after pluging it into amp: OMG!  @#$@#$%$@ @#$%@#$@1SFDGB#@!!!  :headbang1: ...

    [Opinion needed] Misaligned tremolo bushings, not perpendicular to neck

    Used neck mounting holes as reference (Warmoth uses them as indexes for CNC). I was really detailed about drawing this line.

    [Opinion needed] Misaligned tremolo bushings, not perpendicular to neck

    As on Monday my neck is going to be delivered, I started initial body assembly. Unfortunately I've found out that one of tremolo stud insert is 0,65mm (.026) closer to the neck than the other one. Is this discrepancy acceptable? I know that I can compensate it with saddles, but still bridge...

    Polyurethane - what pigments to use to get transparent brown?

    Thanks for that Tonar! As those dyes are based on alcohol, then I assume that all alcohol based dyes should mix nicely with polyurethane laquer, aren't they?

    Polyurethane - what pigments to use to get transparent brown?

    While waiting for the neck for my Warmoth strat, I decided to repair finish on the rear of my old strat. I'm trying to get a similar Transparent Brown as Warmoth use for their finishes. I bought polyurethane lacquer and brown pigment, tried to mix them together and... they can't be mixed. What...

    Strat body for my first Warmoth

    Thanks all for your help and your advices. I've finally placed my order. I was wondering whether I should get fatter profile or not, but two factors determined my choice of Standard Thin: My hands are rather small. I'm upgrading from Ibanez Super Wizard (17mm/.67 at first fret) - I think it's...

    Strat body for my first Warmoth

    I'm about to order a neck soon.. I have some hard times deciding whether to order Standard Thin or 59 Roundback. Do you think it would be safe to sand the 59 down, if I found it too thick? I have manual skills and it's going to be a raw neck, so no finishing needed after sanding. Anybody have...
