Thanks for your input! In the end, that's exactly what I'm going to do. BTW, 'Coffee' is awesome! I'm not familiar with the pickup. I'll definitely check that out. -K

That's really interesting. Now I am REALLY curious how this thing is gonna turn out! We shall see.... Thanks. -K

I've never experimented with this. I'll have to do some reading regarding cap values so I understand a bit more. My prior builds have used cap values that were suggested by pickup manufacturers mostly, so I'm wired to think that is 'correct'. Of course this is all subjective and what's right is...

This is interesting. I've never done a direct comparison, but all I've read thus far (and hear in videos) points to ash being brighter. When I think of ash, I think Tele, which to me means a bit bright. Of course it's all subjective and I could be wrong. I'll have to ponder this a bit. Thanks. -K

Hello all. I promised myself that I was done with projects for awhile, but then Warmoth went and put the archtop Soloist bodies on sale! I... could... not...resist. Lol. Anyway, so the next build has begun. Taking my time with this one, and I've been pondering what the build will look like. So...

Man that's nice! I'm a sucker for good flamey maple top! Enjoy! -K

I love the PC-1. What finish did you get? Mine is an older one (pre Fender headstock) in 'Au Natural'. -K

Love it!!! -K

You have great taste! That's a beautiful combo! It's very similar to my last build: -K

To answer your question about the color: I'm not 100% sure. I didn't order it directly, but it seems your thought is probably correct. (Trans blue over black). -K

That's a good question. I don't actually know, as I bought it used. I simply saw it and fell in love, lol. I ordered the neck to somewhat 'match' the body. -K

Hey all, just sharing the results of the most recent project. I had promised myself that I'd cool it on the new projects, as I've recently acquired a couple of long-desired guitars, but hey, projects are fun! Honestly, I play my Warmoth (and other parts) builds more than my 'manufactured' ones...

Ding Ding! Yup, Ian Thornley! I've become a huge Big Wreck fan over the last few years, and his playing is just stellar. I basically stole the pickup config from one of his signature Suhrs. And yet I still don't sound like him, lol! Yes, my builds so far have been all front loaded Strats, with...

No, not quite. He did put out his first music in the 90s though, just like Kenny Wayne Shepard.

Hello all, I've been lurking here for some time now. Thanks for all the valuable info and awesome pics gathered here! Anyway, over recent times I've done a few projects using Warmoth parts, but this was the first one that started out as a specific, dedicated project using a Warmoth neck and...
