    Building a "Dream Machine" Strat

    Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it! When I get a new guitar I am waiting for some music to „fall out of it“. This is what fell out of this guitar and then I made a backing track around it. ... I really love what Warmoth gives us :-)

    Building a "Dream Machine" Strat

    Thanks! Dealing with Ingo was a pleasure and the hardware is executed to perfection. I am highly pleased.

    Building a "Dream Machine" Strat

    Thank you! There is nothing really green in the guitar (or any of my guitars). It was photographed against a green screen and the green removal might not have worked perfectly everywhere, especially since the surface is shiny and reflects the green background. But ensure you that that there is...

    Building a "Dream Machine" Strat

    Dear fellow Warmoth enthusiasts! I have been in love with Warmoth guitars for almost a decade. During lock down I got fascinated with the old Schecter dream machines as played by Mark Knopfler on the famous Alchemy concert. I found an engineer in Germany who makes authentic replicas of these...

    A modern take on the Gilmour black Strat

    Thank you very much! This was my fifth Warmoth. The first few times it took a few iterations before the guitars were exactly what I wanted. This was what I wanted from the first day on.  Since the build I changed two minor things - I installed a Fender Tone Saver treble bleed so that the...

    A modern take on the Gilmour black Strat

    Thanks a lot for the nice comment! I did get the Strymon stuff sorted out well enough I thought - just not running all three of them in stereo. But you know how it is  ... always tinkering. The board was great and sounded great but it was not too practical to play with a band. Hence, I...

    A modern take on the Gilmour black Strat

    Thank you so much! This is very nice of you. Also remember that there is a lot going on in that recording chain that helps making the guitar sound good. I have very little to do with it :-) Enjoy music and guitars everybody and let's have fun with it!

    A modern take on the Gilmour black Strat

    Like so many, I have lusted for a Gilmour type black Strat for a long time. Now, I finally built one from Warmoth parts and I really like the results. Going Warmoth allowed me to get rid of all the features of the Fender custom shop model that I did not like. The result is a guitar built from...

    Little video on my traditional Tele build

    Ah, thanks for that tip! I wasn't aware of this. I am not a skilled wood worker (or skilled at all for that matter). If I do another one that starts with an unfinished body I will take that into account and research it before I start.

    Little video on my traditional Tele build

    Thanks for the friendly comments everybody!  :yourock: I did not grain fill the body. I did sand it carefully with finer and finer sandpaper until it felt really smooth to me and then I went for the oil. I really wanted the guitar the feel like wood. I had all my other Warmoth guitars finished...

    Little video on my traditional Tele build

    Hi fellow Warmoth enthusiasts, I wanted to share with you a little video that I made on my tele build. This one is supposed to be a really "old school" tele with just a few modern improvements. Most noticeable the compound radius - I just don't get along with Fender radii. The guitar came out...

    Gilmour black strat

    Here is a link to mine - love it! Looks nice (to me at least), plays nice, sounds great ... still learning to control the electronics properly when playing with a band (have done it only one so far). http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=22656.0
