    Hello! Sorry for the crappy pics, but I am getting pretty excited about this unfinished guitar. It is the one I am always reaching for now... Neck is a Warmoth Vintage Modern, Mahogany with Indian Rosewood FB, 6105 frets, 1 3/4 nut, Fatback profile (I love it!) and Schaller tuners. Body is...

    Anyone ever ordered from Warmoth just before Christmas?

    Man, that is great to hear about them covering your loss! Sadly, I don't think I will ever order from W again. I find it unacceptable that they accept money for shipping and seemingly just pocket it. They appear to have some agreement with the shippers that the package receives the lowest...

    Anyone ever ordered from Warmoth just before Christmas?

    IMHO Warmoth is one of the slowest online retailers I have ever dealt with. Even items that should ship right away take longer than what they say on their timelines. No biggie. If I may reference the "kid at Christmas" feeling from a post above, this is something we all need. Life goes by way...

    Troubleshoot a pickup

    Thanks guys. I guess I am just having a run of bad luck for the Holidays. Now a drain pipe is clogged.. of course on Christmas Eve. "No sound from pickup" that is my story and I'm sticking to it. Cary

    Troubleshoot a pickup

    Hi, Thanks for helping. Wasn't sure this post even made it out. I have it isolated to the pickup. I am guessing it has a broken winding wire. I am thinking there was a burr on the mounting plate. I get nothing at all when I put my Ohm Meter across the pickup solder points. The rhythm pickup is...

    Troubleshoot a pickup

    Hello, Having trouble with my Anico 2 Pro bridge pickup for my Telle build. It was working at first, but after assembly I get nothing. I have isolated it and run jumpers direct from the input jack to the pickup and still no sound. My connections to the pickup solder points are sound and I am...

    New Mooncaster Just Finished

    Great looking guitar! I plan on building one in the future. I've been trying to learn from the W site with no luck. Which Warmoth necks are compatible with the Mooncaster body? Cary

    Hello from FNG

    Thanks for the welcome and kind words from everyone! Both guitars are setting in nicely and I like them more and more. #1 (the Thinline) needs better mounting on the neck pickup and I have a short on the bridge p/u (forgot insulator tape between the shielding). On #2 (aka "Blackie McShane)", I...

    Hello from FNG

    Hello to all, I've been enjoying the website for awhile and have finished my first two builds. I am running a set of strings through them to work out the bugs, then I'll post some better glamour shots with the proper info. For now, I just wanted to stop lurking and say "Hi". Cary
