Good afternoon everyone - Just ordered a new neck and getting Warmoth to finish it this time with their tinted satin nitro finish. In order to bury a waterslide decal on the headstock, can I use gloss nitro over top of satin? I am planning to spray on the face of the headstock only, and just...

Hi guys I understand that the Gotoh vintage 6 screw bridge is supplied on the Warmoth website and I would assume does fit the vintage tremolo bridge route.  My question to anyone currently using this set up - have you had any problems with string spacing on the e strings with "fall-off" on the...

gorgeous!!

zero percent chance Warmoth did that custom body finish - it's just not what they do.

Hey everyone - here is our second cover that we did in support of Wounded Warriors, Man in the Box by Alice in Chains.  Hope you dig it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irR87b97esM

So far, so good, but to be honest, I haven't had a chance to abuse the wang bar much yet and really test them out!

It's my daughter's name which I have been putting on my guitar builds.

Hmmm, that's good to know - particularly since I want to build my daughter a Mustang with a Tornado bridge and they rarely have those in the showcase and it would be nice to make it as light as possible for her.  :guitaristgif:

It would be nice if you could at least select from a certain range of body weights when ordering a custom body.  As it is now, if you want, say, a 4lb strat body, you pretty much have to wait and hope what you want comes up in the showcase.  When you order custom, there is always a chance you...

I thought I read somewhere that the licensing agreement they have with Fender specified that Warmoth could not put waterslide decals of any type on their necks, nor provide any type of waterslide decals to customers.  I'm guessing that since the licensing agreement was the result of settling a...

Ya, maybe one with extra soft bristles so not to scratch the finish? 

That is really nice!  Love Koa and double bound - great combo together!!

I did a few base coats of flake shellac to seal the body and then just kept rotating the body over and over, wiping it with a very concentrated mixture of the dye (water-based) with a soft cloth until the point where it wasn't getting darker any more.  The shellac base coats sealed the very...

This is the third of three guitars I built during my downtime in the summer. This one is a roasted swamp ash body / roasted flame maple neck and fretboard.  It has the Mark Rutters bridge, locking Hipshot tuners, Jason Lollar Tele Special bridge pickup along with the Lollartron in the neck. ...

To pass the time in this unusual year, I wound up building 2 strats and a tele while I had some extra time on my hands.  What I haven't had much of lately is the spare time to play them, so I'm still getting to know them, but both strats are very much at home through my Wampler Tumnus & Traynor...
