He's quoting a YouTube video that seems to no longer exist.  Perhaps it rubbed Yngwie the wrong way and he requested that it be pulled.  Who knows. Edit:  It appears that the video was removed as a copyright claim from "Malmsteen Management."  Bummer.

What’s more of a priority to you?  The aesthetics of the guitar or how it plays?  If you want to decapitate your audience with your “Yngwie Malmsteen, I am your new god” shredding technique then go with Stainless Steel fretwire.  It plays like butta!

Are you planning on using your existing neck on this body?  Is it already prepped for a Floyd Rose locking nut?

No, keep in mind that what you have is a "conversion neck" and it does not share the same properties as a 24.75" neck that would be used on guitar like a Les Paul.  With this neck being a conversion neck, it's intended on being mounted on a body that is in the 25.5" scale.  So keep that in mind...

Go with a Floyd Rose... Nuff said... :icon_biggrin:

Actually I'm willing to bet that this is a Nitro finish which is extremely prone to cracks such as these.  Nothing can really be done to prevent these cracks from happening, it's just the nature of the beast.  Several years ago Warmoth offered a Nitro hybrid finish that had the same thing happen...

Yes, Tune-O-Matic bridge can work just fine on Strats, we just need to angle the neck pocket to allow the strings to lay over the fretboard properly. Another option to consider is our new recessed Tune-O-Matic option which allows you to use this bridge, without having to angle the heel pocket. ...

Not very likely, pointy and radical shaped bodies don't make it into the showcase too often because they just don't sell that well. What's you're reasoning for wanting one of these bodies to show up in the Showcase?  Remember that initially, a lot of what you see in our Showcase section is...

Cool idea, but the only problem is that the exact weights of our necks are rarely ever a concern with our customers.  Yes, you are going to notice a slight difference between a vintage modern and a Warmoth pro neck made up of the same woods.  But within the same construction method, two necks of...

Have you seen this product be used on Swamp Ash?  Dying Flame/Quilt Maple is one thing, but Swamp Ash is a whole different animal which to our knowledge doesn't dye well at all.  This is why we don't dye Swamp Ash at Warmoth, we only use Transparent finishes on it.  I don't mean to burst your...

I've seen EVERYTHING!!  :icon_biggrin: But since the recessed Tune-O-Matic is so new, I've yet to see this exact combination yet, but it can be done.

By any chance do you know what width of saddles you need?  Sometimes it's difficult to determine exactly which model of bridge we have since we use our own packaging, but I can certainly measure one for you if you give me the specs...

Try E-mailing me personally at jay@warmoth.com.  If I don't reply then something between us is blocking your E-mail.  We've disabled ALL of our spam filters here at Warmoth to specifically prevent this problem.  So if something is blocking your E-mail, it's not happening at Warmoth.

Unless Gregg knows something that the rest of the sales guys don't, their has been no mention of the 7-String line being dropped.  But again, it is our least popular product line.

I don't think I've ever heard of David Gilmour and Blink-182 used in the same sentence.  :icon_biggrin: Didn't Tom Delong used an Invader at the bridge?  That's a pretty hot pickup but it works for his pop/punk sound, a pickup like that might be a little over kill for a Pink Floyd sound...
