Well, In-N-Out does actually publish their “secret menu” on their website…;)

Is there a summary of all of the off-menu options somewhere? I’ll be ordering a body in the next few weeks for a new build, and I want to make sure I’ve had every opportunity to hand over more money to Warmoth ;)

Try roasted maple with CREAM dots (and white Luminlay while you’re at it). The cream dots nicely set off the roasted maple in a way that black simply can’t do.

I had difficulty intonating a Tele with those saddles; I got a set of Callaham compensated brass barrels and it intonated perfectly. But there are plenty of testimonials from people very happy with the Gotoh In-Tune barrels too, so…anecdata is anecdata.

My first Warmoth build, in 2023, was a Tele and I went with the swapped control plate from the get-go. I also did the traditional brass 3-barrel bridge, but with Callaham intonated barrels to solve the intonation issue, and they work perfectly. That said, it should have been fixed on the...

Wholeheartedly agree. I’ve done two Warmoth builds, and it turns out I’m one of those people who wants it my way. I keep looking at Fender, EBMM, PRS, Reverend…and there’s always something that turns me off. I have a Suhr that I love but I can build a Warmoth that is 95% as good for half the...

Why no cream dots on roasted maple fretboard?? That’s a dealbreaker for me :cautious:

Thanks for the pointer! I find it interesting that nowhere (at least, nowhere that I could find) on their reasonably-up-to-website did I find any mention of the Ilitch system or the Suhr SSCII system. Also, no wiring diagrams for anything other than SSS, and I’m pretty sure my next build will...

Anyway, I got my answer - Warmoth won’t do that rout. No problem with that, and as has been said, Ilitch has several options that don’t require the top rout. But if you’ve ever experienced the Suhr SSCII, which is the same technology, and works with basically any pickups…you may understand the...

Kinman’s is at least as bad, but…yeah. No argument here. And I misunderstood, I will revel in extreme geekdom! :cool:

The Suhr SSCII noiseless system is a very close relative to the Ilitch system - the history I have read says that Ilitch invented it, Suhr used it several years before designing a successor, their SSCII, which John Suhr has acknowledged is very similar to the Ilitch system. The SSCII is the best...

Anybody know if Warmoth would rout a body so the Ilitch air coil noise canceling system could be installed around the pickups, which is apparently the best way to do it? I know I could ask the Warmoth help line, but thought I’d test the waters here first…this is for a speculative future Strat...

A CTS 500k audio taper left handed pot, with the wiring I need attached, and long shaft to boot; with the rear rout, I’m tired of having to leave off the lock washer to get enough bite on the shaft nut so the long shaft is the way to go (a customer service person from Warmoth told me short...

I haven’t tried a linear taper pot although I may try one at some point. I also want to try a reverse log taper, which would basically be a left-hand normal taper but swapping the hot and ground lugs. I’ve also kicked around taking an EMG left hand volume pot and rewiring which lug goes to which...

Here’s a picture of the new volume (top) and tone pots with the DuPont connectors attached: Got it all hooked up and playing, after the inevitable one connector plugged in backwards causing a short to ground; took me about 15 minutes to run that down and fix it. Lessons learned: Always get...
