    V's and straplocks?

    I just completed a V http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=11504.0 with Schaller strap locks and found the best place to mount them is 1/2" from the neck plate on the center line and the other  one is on the inside of the V 5" from the crotch.  The way I came to this though was by...

    3Pickup Yellow Swampash V with Pau Ferro neck Finally Built

    Thanks. It took me a little while to figure out the best way to lay out the schematic. I was pretty methodical about the wiring to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Here's a few more construction shots. It took 6 hours on a Friday (hey snow day) and another 6 on Saturday, but that's taking...

    3Pickup Yellow Swampash V with Pau Ferro neck Finally Built

    Finally got around to building my 2nd Warmoth going back to the December sale. see Just out of the Box http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10918.0 Decided to add a third PP500 Push Push Pot 500k with DPDT Switch (On-On) rather than add more mini switches for the 4 wire humbucker...

    Wilkinson tremolo set up

    My Strat has a Gotoh Wilkison VS100 with Planet Waves tuners/graphtech nut and I was amazed at not only how well intonated ( didn't have to adjust it) and in-pitch it was the day I installed it, but how well it stays in tune.  As a bluesy player I don't abuse the bar much like I did back in the...

    String Retainers and a broken screw

    Recently I went back and decided to add string retainers to my first Warmoth Strat build http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10616.0 (and my first strat in 30 years) which does not have a locking nut.  I had noticed many Strats on this board don't have them so didn't bother with...

    Guitar Family Portrait. (post em)

    thanks Mullyman  :party07: I knew I should have broke out the polish. Sorry that's a bad habit of mine. I can see now that it's posted; the Nikon lens doesn't hide anything. The next photo shoot is outside in daylight with (hair and makeup) polish and buffers at the ready.

    Guitar Family Portrait. (post em)

    I really liked the topic of this thread when it popped up especially since just before it came up, I had the sudden urge out of nowhere to take photo's of my guitar collection after adding my 1st Warmoth. The fist set of photo's were not worthy so I re-shot them.  I wish they were outdoors but...

    My box arrived but..................(NEW COMPLETED PICTURE ADDED)

    OMG! That guitar is just too hot :headbang1:. The GAS is kicking in big time. Never been a fan of the plain old tele, but a carved top F hole tele..now you are talking. :party07: And those p90's, I wish I had known about them before I ordered my Rio Grande's, might just have to build another...

    Warmoth #2 --- Firebird

    Very tastefully done in every way. It will be interesting to hear how it sounds when done; I am sure it will be sweet.

    Absolutely Love it. Even before seeing it complete, that flame top just makes it. Excellent job.

    And now for the real deal.  I just laid some of the parts out to see how it's going to look. Can't wait to wire it up.  Wow those P90's are heavy.

    2nd Build Transparent Yellow 3PU Swamp Ash V with Pau Ferro Neck

    Here are the Just out of the box pics. Warmoth knows how to pack that is for sure.  I used to ship gear all around the world and know how bad all the shippers can be on this stuff. I bet you they ship to themselves from time to time just to be sure how their packaging holds up.

    2nd Build Transparent Yellow 3PU Swamp Ash V with Pau Ferro Neck

    A few days before the Warmoth Sale ended I went for my second build. I almost couldn't decide on a color between amber, vintage or yellow until I saw how great the yellow on Valentina turned out (http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=10556.0) came out in another thread.  Since this...
