Thanks Rick, do you have a link please?

Hi all, I’m now ready to finalise my order. One final question. Do people have recommendations on good high gear ratio machine heads/tuners? From what I can see, I can get any size hole drilled. They would need to be 6 in line, available in left handed, and ideally non-locking. Thanks in...

Thanks for all the input everyone. As Cagey suggested, it seems unlikely that a Strat could end up neck heavy due to the overall architecture of the guitar and position of the strap button on the horn, but I just wanted to check. A couple of other questions: 1) I know it’s almost entirely a...

Hi there, This is my first time posting, so hopefully I’m in the right section. If not, please feel free to move. I am in the process of planning my first Warmoth build, but am somewhat concerned it could be neck heavy. I am hoping to opt for the following options: Body:   Strat style  ...
