That's useful info - thanks for that. Mine is regular swamp ash and doesn't have any of the green tinge in the 1st photo and looks very much like the 2nd.

Satin transparent turquoise

Per this link: https://docs.hipshotproducts.com/6GL0_GRIP-LOCK_OPEN_DIMENSIONS.pdf The Hipshots are 1.23oz each, for 6, that's 7.38oz or 0.46125lbs Per this link...

If the Gotoh is a drop in replacement, then yes, I'd love to know the weight!

6lbs 12oz I wish I could have made it lighter. It is my heaviest guitar now that I have a 5lb Kiesel. Warmoth didn't offer roasted swamp ash when I got it and soloists aren't chambered. That Bareknuckle weighs 2oz more than the PRS HFS I put in originally. I did have them add a double battery...

This is a Warmoth satin finish...

After burnishing, should any kind of oil be applied to the neck? (Warmoth roasted maple). If so, what kind of oil?

I have a Warmoth soloist and a 7/8 Strat. I had one shop build one and a different shop build the other. Both guitars have angled pickup rings for the bridge humbucker and they are both angled with the high side closest to the bridge. The pickups are not at all parallel with the strings. Is this...

Not made specifically for guitars, but I've found some online that aren't currently available: https://www.globalspec.com/learnmore/electrical_electronic_components/switches/slide_switches Because the switch is a blade that moves in an arc, you can't recess it without routing out the slot. I'm...

Checked out the burnishing thread - wow! I already ordered the sandpaper. The problem is for cleaning the fretboard, I live in CA and Naptha ain't available here. Does anyone have a good replacement? I have read so many different things online like Murphys Oil Soap, etc, but I wanted to get a...

The old school strat style blade switches stick up so high because of the design. I hit them so much that I have dremeled down the blade and put a little piece of rubber on the tip. It is still too high. It seems to me that a slider switch design would work very well. Problem is: I can't find...

I have two Warmoth necks: a canary with canary FB and a roasted maple with Bocote FB. Both necks are unfinished. I have never cleaned, sanded or oiled them and the fretboards are starting to look a bit mucky ans the backs of the necks are not as smooth as they used to be. I live in a mostly dry...
