    7/8 S-type build

    The position of the strap attachment has more to do with controlling neck dive than the weight of the body. On an S-style guitar, the top horn takes care of that. If a guitar with a top horn still has neck dive issues, then either the neck itself is too long for the body (l can't imagine a...

    What new product or feature would be in your Christmas list for Warmoth to introduce in 2024?

    Mock is one of my favorite shapes, and I'm at the point of being able to build my own. A long-term project on my list has been a Mock baritone (make the body myself and order a WM bari neck).

    More metal pointy styles. ;) I say this tongue-in-cheek because I know the community here as a small microcosm of the whole of the WM customer base, and honestly, we Cheesy-Metal-Pointy-Guitar types are in the minority. Too small to make the additional R&D, CNC, and marketing investments...

    The only good thing about that movie was Tom Petty.

    So… I’m going to be “that guy”

    7/8 Soloist roasted unique choice koa slab. Not that lam-top proletariat nonsense.

    So… I’m going to be “that guy”

    My goodness, it's almost like supply chain management and logistics are part of some....businessy....thing..... Who knew? ;) (I tell all of the baby and junior IT kids this all the time, that IT is as much about business process -- if not more so -- than just playing with the shiny...

    Smoke Burst Finish on Roasted Swamp Ash

    Yes, it's pearloid. Got a 5-pack from AMZ. Still learning, so I still have some gaps but definitely better than my first attempt. ;) The metal doo-dad is part of the Freehand from Stewmac.

    New video: Top 5 Secret Warmoth options

    My red Strat has the off-menu 12th-fret-only inlay of the skull & crossbones. Looks wicked on a pure black ebony board. Another off-menu that WM doesn't do is unlisted inlays on a bass neck. So none of the guitar inlays that aren't already on the menu for bass necks (no skull-n-bones...

    22 fret overhang - trim pickguard?

    It's probably not 25.5" anymore. :oops: :(

    22 fret overhang - trim pickguard?

    If it was just the difference between the pickguard and the fretboard, I would attack the pickguard. Pickguards are cheaper and easier to replace than a Warmoth neck if you mess it up. 😉

    Smoke Burst Finish on Roasted Swamp Ash

    Truth. I was at a week-long conference in Orlando last summer. I was drenched just walking the quarter mile to a restaurant for dinner...which had the AC blowing so hard that I was freezing sitting at the bar! Then later that week, I went for a 2 mile run. That was definitely harder than I...

    Smoke Burst Finish on Roasted Swamp Ash

    Not precisely the same color you're going for, but an example of the ColorTone black to tobacco brown to vintage amber burst before the final clear coats and polish. I used the instructions on StewMac for applying the burst. Notes about this build: probably the 4th Tele body I cut. 2nd time...

    Guys, can we chill with the snark and sniping? This isn't TGP. ;)
