Hi. Very nice korina body.... my advice : try first a a transparent  finish either high gloss or oiled. the color change bteween raw korina and varnished is amazing. Have you try to wet the body with some water to get an idea ? Regarding the PU mount, the problem with the HB direct mounted is...

Thanks a lot for the very detailed advices. I'm going to look after the zinsser product.... what paint ? Well,  :toothy11: as I've no tools to spray, I use ready to use spray can after a pore filler and a primer..... if it works for motorcycle painting, it might be resistant.....

hi..... I'd like to match my padouk peghead with the guitar body which will be in a plain color I know padouk is very oily. Do you think it's possible to do this or is it impossible mission (force) ? acetone before a filler ? or acetone then a primer ? thanks by advance for advices. Luc B

The foots were unexpected.... I have to buy new 'home shoes' too..... :icon_biggrin:

Hi. the problem was the graphtech hexpander preamp board and the 13-pin output Warmoth don't sell. I have to see all the parts to know  where to put the  2 outputs.... well the control routing itself is going to be 3 holes, the easy part. After the first coat of tung oil last night , it's...

:blob7: Just received my new kit. I Love the woods :  :headbang1:   Thanks to the warmoth team...... These are compressed pics so it's way better when you are in front of her. neck : padouk and a GREAT (well it's my opinion....) ziricote board My first plan was to paint the body in a solid...

I think transparent is the way to go with q-tuner. it's sad not to expose the red wires. I've a Hi-Z HB + S + S set order for my warmoth (orange body with gold 'paintwithpearls' something like the orange chewy at the end of this link http://paintwithpearl.com/pearlstore.htm if I manage to...

My body and neck are ordered. I have to wait some weeks. Of course, I post pics asap.... :icon_biggrin:

Marvellous  :hello2:  :icon_thumright:  :hello2: I send the order form today.. I talked to nobody at WARMOTH cause I'm not confortable with speaking with US people over the phone....too fast for me. I exchanged 1 email with sales@warmoth.com.

Yes I'd love irregular spider stripes all over the board. 

If you want, I can be a beta-tester for the ziricote fretboard high grade section    :laughing8:

Hi, I'd like to order a warmoth with a wilkinson tremolo and change the saddles for graphtech piezo saddles (I want to install a graphtech hexpander board to drive my roland VG-8) Theses saddles are made for the Wilkinson VS-100 tremolo I mailed to warmoth and they answered the don't know...

Hi Perhaps stupid or too time-consuming :  a sort of showcase with pics for high grade woods. a sort of extension of the hand-pick option for those who have special looking needs ?

Well I'll go custom I think...  I'm not  generally lucky at games but let's see what I get as neck..... I'm confident  :laughing11:

Hi I think I'm going to ordering a WARMOTH SOLOIST : - korina body, no top - bloodwood or wenge neck with SS 6105 frets (still have to decide between the 2 very different wood options) and a brazilian or rather ziricote fretboard because I'm in love with some I've seen over the WEB SO... ...
