but you have to admit it'd still be helpful to know the dimensions of the cavity to an accurate degree. i've been try to plot and scheme about a soloist with a piezo pickup system (ala john petrucci) and it'd be nice to know if the layout is even compatible with the warmoth control routs or if i...

seeing as how there's so many new mods being offered in the showcase, it'd be nice to see there are "1-piece," "720 mod," "24 fret pickup reposition," etc. options searchable also. i understand there aren't many of these bodies out there (and these examples only pertain to bodies), but there is...

i find it ironic that though it's unofficial, those who work @ warmoth have posted things, at least in representation of the products in some way. i could understand, though that they didn't want people getting the idea that this forum is the be-all, end-all source of "official" warmoth info...

it's probably done more easily on basswood (jem/universe bodies) cause of the intricacy, so even if it was offered, warmoth would probably only offer it on soft woods.

thanks for the tip about the oil.  :icon_thumright: does anyone have experience with guitar re ranch? i ordered a bunch of things last week but they have yet to even contact me about it. i doubt they ran out of stock, but it'd be nice to know if the timeline fits in with my schedule these days...

still no comment about fretboard conditioning?

alright, i pulled the trigger. i will finish it myself. i read up on it @ stew mac and project guitar and i think i can handle it. especially since i don't have to do anything as far as staining/painting the guitar. just strip it down, then start over and clear gloss it. i bought some luthier's...

you're probably right about the nitro. i need to think this through, but i also agree that black filler doesn't make sense on figured anything. the neck was in the showcase. also a steal. i think it was $275 after the ss frets and inlays. good deal, especially with the bonus veneer. hopefully...

and the neck. not that exciting as far as figuring, but as you can, white korina/brazilian rw with an ebony veneer. ss 6115 frets and mop inlays. is it ok to put tru-oil on korina? if so, how long does that process take? ps sorry for the glare in all the photos. i know how to take a good...

alright, here it is friends. neck + hardware came in monday, body came in yesterday. so, i don't know about it being 5a, but it's definitely a 3a. very 3d flaming. nice golden to rich brown hues. you'd really still have to see it in person. when i got it, i looked at it and thought, man that's...

i agree about the koa. rare wood. very nice when it's figured, but to me i see it more as furniture material than playable tone monster lol  :icon_tongue: but that's what i grew up looking at. either way, there's no way that was 5a, but who cares that much? it's still got some figure and the...

hey all. as promised, i'm starting a thread on the koa soloist. here's the body i found on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120362997333&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ebayphotohosting would you say that looks like 5a flame  :o? i think it looks better on the back than...
