Curious to see how this would work with the side truss rod adjust doo hickey

Good idea. Thinking it through more.... For more strength, wonder if a 3rd screw could be applied on the "top bout" side in between the other 2. Basically 3 screws on one side, and only one on the other. I'm guessing this would require not using a neck plate, or modifying a neck plate with...

Greetings! I've built a few Warmoth guitars now, and have been contemplating a bass build. I have a later 2000's Fender MIM Precision bass using a P/J pickup set, and like it, but would like to experiment with some flavor of SSB. The post isn't really about regular length vs SSB length, but...

I have non FR trems on both Straight and Tiltback necks. On the Straight, I have examples of using Graphtech and LSR nuts. Between the Straight and Tiltback necks using a Graphtech nut, I give a slight, and I mean slight, edge to the Straight. However, if using the tallest tuner posts...

Luv this. Have to say, my 1st Warmoth build was a gateway drug into building more examples of "exactly how I want it". Now, aside from neck through / set net designs, I have zero desire to buy just about any bolt on guitar since it is a compromise of sorts that I don't want to deal with. As...

Well done. Excellent work on the neck heel.

.....anxiously awaits aarontunes L90 vid, like a kid at Christmas awaiting Santa.

Yeah....I've read some interesting stories around this. I saw one guy on TheGearPage mention he lives in the area, and much found much treasure from dumpster diving at the G&L facility. Sad.... I have a 2005 or so US Legacy Special (uses their rail humbucker single coil sized pups), and have...

This makes me seriously rethink the Mustang / Jag

Great vid. Was hoping something like this was coming. Agree the short scale sounded more bottom heavy with the longer/standard scale having more pronounced mids. I guess it's kind of like a 24.75" guitar scale vs 25" where the 25" sounds "spankier", but agree in that it seems counter...

Does the string slide through? If so, you may want the tuner protruding less, as this will give the string a slightly lower break angle over the nut. On the Warmoth Tele I built (avatar), I used the Hipshot Locking tuners. The E and B string holes fully protruded, but on the E string I was...

Looking forward to this. Great looking body and neck. I like the headstock your using also. Flows nicely with the body

Cool vid.....and my fav B-52's song

Wow, that is some beautiful wood

I have the Velocity non chambered. Upper fret access is effortless. A Strat feels confining by comparison. For me, the back edge of my fretting hand can get further up the neck before bumping into the lower bout. Also, the lower bout is very "open". This, along with the Contoured Heel...
