MikeW, I think you've just convinced everyone that comes across this discussion to run out and get strap locks. I'm so sorry for your first W.  :(

Thanks Cagey.  :rock-on:

Thanks again for the replies everyone. One item I forgot to mention is strap locks. After putting strap locks on all my Warmoths & modified stock guitars I get so turned off at the idea of using a strap lock-less guitar. The first time the strap unbuttons I'd rather just stop playing. Is anyone...

I hear you on always changing stock pickups for hotter pickups. The only time a pickup is too hot for me is when it's literally on fire. :headbang1:

Thanks for the replies. As for myself the first changes I know I'd have to make on a stock guitar would be the neck because I dislike small frets and round neck radius'. I'd also change the pickups because while some stock pickups are great I usually have my own idea for a set that would sound...

After having built a couple complete Warmoth guitars I can't look at stock guitars the same anymore. Long before I ever even knew I could build my own custom I would be excited to walk into a music store, look up at the nice, expensive guitars and think, "Wow". After having built my own guitars...

Yeah, that guitar is plenty black, but I don't know. This one looks pretty hard to top. http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=5233.0

Thanks for the replies. By the way, what pickups have y'all used in your guitars when going for a 50/60s tone?

Hey y'all. I'm gonna build a Strat pretty soon and I'm going for a vintage sound. I got a set of Fender Custom Shop 1969 pickups, but I'm wonderin' what would happen to the tone if I went with something stronger than a 250K volume pot. Would they sound a little stronger or would they start to...

You can make your strings last longer by keeping them in the fridge?

Thanks Pitchshifter. Your post was very useful and that picture of the JM in the gallery really let me know my idea was possible. :party07:

Thank you Unwound G. You really helped shed some light on everything.  :headbang1:

Hi everyone. I'm planning on building a Jazzmaster pretty soon. However, it'd really be more like a Jaguar. What I want is the look of the Jaguar with the full scale of the Jazzmaster. I'm curious though, and this is probably a very elementary question, is there any size difference between the...

I was on photobucket.com and searched "custom guitar" and these came up. I wonder how many of these are Warmoths that the owners didn't share on the message board or gallery. I love the simplicity on this one. If I had to describe this one in 1 word, I'd say it was daring. Plus I'm sure...
