I'd love to snag one or two of those, but the lack of customization means I'll have to pass.

It's too bad that they are already drilled & routed. I was hoping for some sets that weren't.

That's just the beginning! You'll need to adjust the action, intonation, truss rod, etc to make it play how you like it.

Here are three "muscle" cars I used to own: 1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 2016 Ford Mustang GT California Special

I just completed #6 recently. Specs: White korina (limba) body, Warmoth neck with '59 profile, 10" - 16" compound radius, 6100 frets, GFS "Vintage" P90 pickups, Gotoh hardware, 1 volume/2 tone controls. I now have my 6-guitar stand full, and don't plan on building any more...unless Warmoth...

I cut the heel; the lower horn curve is stock.

The wiring is master volume, with two tone controls. The body was just a standard "in stock" one. The Mighty Mite birdseye necks vary in the amount of figuring.

Thanks for the compliments. It definitely was a fun build. The pickups are GFS "Little Crunchy" mini-humbuckers. Similar to other mini-'buckers, they have a brighter, more airy, "hi-fi" sound to them. The neck is from Mighty-Mite, with jumbo frets and abalone dots. The tuners & bridge assembly...

My fifth Warmoth build; this one is equipped with mini-humbuckers. I wanted to do an all birdseye maple guitar, and this one meets that goal. Hope you like it!

Yes I did. Thank you! I'm already planning on builds #5 & #6.

Here are some pics of my 4th build completed awhile ago. Specs: Walnut back, Zebrawood top, GFS Modern Lead pickups, Gotoh Tremolo and Tuners in Cosmo Black, Maple neck with '59 LP profile. It plays as good as it looks! The only flaw is on the back, where I used the wrong color of Plastic...

That's a nice-looking piece of wood! I don't necessarily agree with the whole "tone wood" claims, but my poplar guitar resonates, and it sounds really good--both unplugged and into an amp.

Thanks for the comments. I should emphasize that when I said, "everything didn't match up exactly as I planned," that means some items are off by just a minuscule amount. They won't be noticed by the average person. I work in a place that measures items with micro-inch tolerances, so if...

I just completed this one over the weekend. Wanting to do something a bit different, I chose a 1-piece Poplar body. It's very light, but discovered poplar is very soft. The guitar isn't perfect: without a drill press or very sharp bits, drilling perfectly straight holes without the bit...

This is how I did it for my upcoming 3rd build.
