Even if they are the correct size I would be very surprised if you could push them in with your thumb. There are many threads on this forum aobut inserting the bushings.  Have a search. Both my Warmoth necks required a little work before I could start pressing the bushes in.  Not a lot though...

Also if I was you I would give Lindy a call.  Tell him what you want and have a chat about the whole overwound/underwound thing.  He loves to talk pickups and is very knowledgable and is really good to talk to. He called me back at his cost (USA to UK) and spoke to me for half an hour about...

I've never tried the 57/62s so I can not comment on them. But I love Fralin pickups. I have both Vintages Hots and Blues Specials in two separate strats. The Vintage hots bring a warmth to my maple necked strat which I have not been able to achieve with any Fender pickup.  But they still...

Wow.  I see what you mean. A body and neck is double.  I feel sorry for you.

A quick email to Warmoth has sorted it. Sorry to bore you guys.

Calling all UK members. I received my guitar a couple of months ago complete with all the hardware etc. I've since decided that I am going to go with different pickup rings, knobs and pots so I will be placing and order with Warmoth accordingly. The bits I ordered incorrectly originally I will...

if you need a portable small practice amp give the Roland Micro Cube a go. I've had mine now for a few years now and I wouldn't be without it. Saying that it's bigger than a Fender Micro Twin and maybe costs a little more.  I've got one of them too.  But honestly there is no comparison.  The...

I've just found maple pickup rings at http://www.pickuprings.com/. I've not seen them on Allpart yet, but I'll keep looking. Thank you to icp2 for the idea.  I didn't even know they existed.

No I haven't seen them, but I will definitley check them out. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Maple might just be the ticket.  Do you think the radius will fit suit the warmoth LPS?

I bought cream rings when I ordered the guitar.  But since the pickups (Fralin Humbuckers) are black I might go for black rings.

Just to add my few cents.  (Actually judging my the length make that a couple of dollars.) There are guitars that you can buy for investment purposes,  eg some Fender and Gibson models.  And some guitars you buy to play. The majority of us buy Warmoths to play.  Put together correctly I dare...

Yes both the body and back of the neck are transparent brown.  The body and neck match perfectly although the pictures do not show as such.  The back of the body is more the colour that is diplayed on the neck. The top is natural to brown burst.  To me the top is gorgous and I am really, really...

I'm going for gold hardware.  You either love it our hate it.  I think it will look great. And either amber or gold speed knobs.

Perfect.  Thank you Livingston.  It's easy when  you know how.

Hi All, My LPS finally arrived after a 15 week wait.  Definitely worth it.  :) It has a chambered mahogany body with maple top.  The neck is a 59 roundback also in mahogany with an ebony board and SS6105 frets. I picked the colour based on similar designs I'd seen in the show case.  My...
