Howdy, I'm looking to build another strat using this CBS large headstock maple neck that I absolutely love (see attached pictures). I already have two sunburst, one clear and one black strats, so for this one I want a SOLID finish that is not black. I can't find many examples of strats with...

Hi! I’m building an Olympic white (nitro strat) with a warmoth 70’s maple neck (vintage tint). Just wondering which pickup/pickguard color combination would look better: A) White pickup covers with parchment pickguard B) Parchment pickup covers with white pickguard. What do you think? I...

Man, this is my first build but not the last for sure. Totally blown away with Warmoth's craftsmanship. Thinking of replacing the Pickguard for one with a Seymour Duncan Mini humbucker instead of full-sized humbucker. What do you suggest? Also, what do you suggest for the pickguard? ALL WHITE...

Oh yeah, I had this posting on the general chatter section but was suggested to remove it and put it here. That's why I reposted it here. Thanks so much stratamania for bear with both postings. Still figuring this site out. Cheers!

In between these two for the Mahogany Tele I'm building. BG 1400 cost twice but $ is not an issue for this one. I want an organic rock and lousy tone but still articulate and good for riffs. What do you suggest? Thanks a ton!

kind of in between the Duncan Pearly Gates Jr. or the Lil '59. Also open to any regular telecaster bridge pickup with a higher output. Thoughts?

Thanks so much guys! Only thing is that I can't find an Airzone for the bridge. The bridge has to be Telecaster-sized. That is, the vintage single coil that goes in the ashtray bridge. Do you mean Airzone in the neck? Thanks a ton!

I did it! Pulled the trigger last night and got myself a Mahogany Telecaster body and an amazing Quartersawn Wenge/Ebony neck from Warmoth.  :party07: I wanted to build something different and, man, I'm psyched about this new build. I went with tele size bridge and Humbucker neck. Now I'm...

What do you think about a MAHOGANY + Quartersawn MAPLE/ROSEWOOD combo for a telecaster? Anyone knows if mahogany and maple are good friends? Thanks a ton!

Was in a studio a few years ago and somebody brought in a nice Korina Gibson Flying V. I played it for that day and it was pretty much love at first contact. I've been wanting to get a Korina guitar since then but don't want to pay the $$$ those Gibson are listing for. I thought of making a...

Wondering how Warmoth does these finishes. I'm looking for a Ferrari Red (Gibson term) or Torino Red (Fender term) finish, but the closest Warmoth does is Fiesta Red or Bright Red. Asking because I've seen Fender themselves putting out different shades of Fiesta Red, sometimes salmonish, somtime...

Howdy! Finally down to my first build. It's going to be a telecaster in Vintage White with a maple/Indian rosewood neck. My question is. I've never seen many guitars with this Vintage White color in person and don't know which pickguard color suits it better. I pretty much like the black...
