Please disregard my question. Warmoth drilled the holes already.

The two screws that mount the tremolo claw into the wood. You don’t screw them in all of the way because you want tension adjustment. It’s the screws you had lube on in your photo.

This may sound like a stupid question, but did you drill the holes for the screws on the tremolo claw? It looks like you did, but I figured it'd be better to ask rather than assume.

Hi guys! Been a VERY long time since I was last on here. Much has changed, and finally doing my Strat build, after a number of years of "I'll get to it someday." I'll have pictures soon enough for you guys to see. Here's my question for everyone: I'm at the step where I need to drill holes...

I would have passed it up had it not been for this thing being on sale!  The body retailed for $500-$550, I wound up getting it for $305. Always wanted to do ash, but I was a little unsure about if I wanted to go chambered, and even if I wanted to do anything as ornate as a lam top. But I looked...

After too much time away, and too much money being put towards bills, my wife told me that I can start playing around with my hobby again!  I've been absent from here for too long just due to the fact that it hurt too much not having the dough to do much of anything. But, all of that changed...

I'm curious to find out if there's anything you deem "guitar building blasphemy," such as putting a 3+3 headstock on a Strat, putting a Floyd on a carved top guitar, or anything else out there. I'm curious to find out what you think should never be done.

Here's my take on Tim Tebow. Sure, he's a polarizing individual--the women like him because he's good looking, and the "comfort food" zone of the country likes him because he's wholesome. As a personality, he has it. As a football player, maybe not so much. Played in and was, what seems...

Addes solely for reference reasons...... I gotta admit, for being the Prince Harry of the NFL, he married up pretty well!

Atta boy!!!  Trust me--I can COMPLETELY empathize with you. I had a stretch from November 2009 to February 2011 where I didn't have a full-time job. I was working as a contractor for the state of Michigan on their mobile office project for the state police when Pitney-Bowes recruited me and...

One interesting note in regards to this was that I was able to find some good notes Cagey wrote last July on the same piece: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=15050.0 Thanks for the input--that's greatly appreciated!  I think I will take your advice and go with a Wilkinson with...

I'm thinking of using for a "from the ground" build up. I've had Schaller tuners on axes before and they've always been smooth and did the job extremely well. I'm planning on using this bridge and a set of locking tuners as well. I know that this isn't going to come cheap, but my wife insisted...

Now that I have the means to support a hobby again, I am putting together a little wish list of parts, and stumbled upon this actually while I was looking for tuning peg options: I know that many of you have used Schaller stuff in the past, and I've heard a lot of good things about the...

After my first day of work, I kind of have an idea of what's going on. I don't even have to think about my travel plans--all I was asked is "what's the closest big airport to you,"  and I'll wind up getting my tickets in the mail or in a print-off voucher. As for the rental car, it's something...

Wow!  I never thought it would look bad by going with AmTrak over Delta. I'll fly in that case then. Plus, they're covering the cost of a ticket in the first place, as well as the cost of a rental car, hotel, meals, the whole smear. That also makes me think of something else to run past you...
