    Chambered Soloist?

    Completely fair; I have NOT experienced this. I'm banking on it though ;) I think the best way to describe it, is that I want clarity in the bottom end :) With a chambered Ash body, and a Wenge/Ebony neck, I think I'll be good :) If not, hey, at least it'll be pretty.

    Chambered Soloist?

    It's easy to get lost in syntax when trying to verbalize how you want your guitar to sound ;) So... does anyone know if Warmoth can do this for me? Forget the why, I just want to know if they can.

    Chambered Soloist?

    I understand what folks of this belief are saying; logically it makes sense. However, I disagree based on personal experience with solid body and hollow body instruments. Going from something like a PRS McCarty to a PRS Hollowbody II, there is a HUGE difference in tone, a difference I cannot...

    Chambered Soloist?

    Fair enough. Really, I like the "woodier" tone of a hollow body. Does that work? It's kind of hard to describe. I think hollow bodies sound a bit crisper, with a more defined and less boomy bottom end. At least in my limited experience with hollow bodies, this was what I took from them.

    Chambered Soloist?

    I kind of thought the same thing, but then again, one-piece bodies aren't an option in the building either, and Warmoth does offer them ;) The main reason I want it is for the more open and resonant tone. I like hollow bodies, just not the shape. I figure this would let me get a little bit of...

    Chambered Soloist?

    I tried searching around, but I didn't find much :( To the point, does anyone know if it's possible to get a chambered Soloist body? I know Warmoth doesn't necessarily list EVERYTHING they can do, but because it's all CNC, I understand it might not be possible.

    Custom Engraved Neckplates

    Do you guys add a finish to the plates to keep them from corroding? I have a laser engraver at work that I was going to use to engrave mine, but it leaves metal quite raw and I want to be sure its not going to get all nasty on me if I etch it and don't finish it.

    Strat-pocket heel on a Tele "Pro" neck?

    Awesome news, thank you very much :) Was there any upcharge? Oh, and at what point did you tell them this? Did you order by phone or e-mail? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to cover all my bases.

    Strat-pocket heel on a Tele "Pro" neck?

    Anyone know if Warmoth will do this? I'm in the late planning stages of a soloist build and this [unfortunately] just hit me this morning. It says on the site that they can put either pocket on any body, only thing is, I'd prefer the strat pocket and heel shape, but want a reverse Tele...

    Soloist w/ P90s

    Its funny, while contemplating my build I thought about doing this very thing and using EMG P81 and P60 pickups and a day or so ago I saw it on the Warmoth front page. Looks even better than I thought it would :headbang:

    Neck mounting ferrules on a Soloist...

    Hello all :) I'm new and I did try a search but came up with nothing :( I'm planning to build a Soloist in the near future and want to use ferrules/washer to mount my neck instead of a plate. Problem is, I can't seem to find a small enough set of said ferrules/washers that will work comfortably...
