I'm glad for the soft launch ... it gave me the time to grab a nice one out of the showcase! Also very glad for that. :)

Interesting that there isn't a banner on the main Warmoth site announcing the Meadowhawk. I guess this is a soft launch. Maybe they're waiting for the new @aarontunes video. Also interesting that the showcase roasted maple Meadowhawk necks are $90 less than the exact same neck if created in...

Damn you Warmoth! You've ruined my plans for a Strat replacement. Well, there's nothing for it so I've got one on order. Picked one of the lightest Showcase bodies and will outfit it with TV Jones T90s. Now I have 2 guitars to anxiously wait for!!! 😭

So what do you think? Are you going to return it?

That's certainly the way it looks, and when I checked the Soloist configurator it only has "Universal Soloist" routing option with top routing which looks exactly the same as what's on the showcase page but called HSH. Unfortunately there was no description on the Pickup Routs page that...

I'm looking at a showcase body that is routed HSH. But, I need a replacement for my Strat kit body that I'm finally having to admit is an irremediable POS. I want something SSS to replace it, and since the pups hang from the pickguard anyway, shouldn't this work? Can anybody think of a reason...

The width of a fretboard is not fixed. The taper and increase in string spread is actually the whole reason to use a compound radius (aka conical section) instead of a cylinder. But either way, the "crown" of a conical section (or cylinder) is absolutely, 100% a straight line. This is all...

This is a really cool idea, and I think you have a shot at building a 10+ pounder. To achieve full complexity though I think you need the effects loop. If one cable jack is good, then two is better right?

Wow! That Super Assilex is really nice. Can't wait for the arrival of the Buflex so I can finish the job I'm doing on my canary wood neck. And I get why you got the 3" disc starter kit. That stuff is expensive. o_O I also just can't go against the grain. I tried, but when I looked closely...

Sanding with the grain is so ingrained in me that I never even thought about going East/West. I'll have to give it a go on my new canary wood neck. I'm probably going to fill the pores with shellac first though. @mayfly you can get a variety pack of the paper that Aaron used on Amazon...

Interesting that this thread got revived after 12 years. I just got my second canary wood neck the other day and I was wondering what to do with it. My intent was to simply polish it up with sandpaper like I did the first one, but this one is considerably more porous. I'm thinking what I...

That's a double score! I also dig all the parts you chose for it. The whole thing came together nicely as a whole. Well, I don't expect that we'll be seeing these type of items come through very often if ever, but you've inspired me and I ordered a Koa back set to use as the top layer of a...

And naturally, I just got the shipping notice this afternoon that the canary wood warhead I ordered shipped. Well, maybe I won't get around to getting it all together for a couple weeks anyway. I've polished up a couple necks, but would love to get your opinions/tips.

Very cool! I love the color combination. It came out very nice. I'm totally stoked about the dinkycaster I have on order. Just 13-15 weeks of waiting left! 😭:ROFLMAO: QQ: where is this video you mention about burnishing the exotic wood necks?

@ghostrider That is a beautiful instrument. I'm jealous! One thing I'm curious about is the inlay on the fretboard. Did W do that for you or did you get it done elsewhere? Or did you do it yourself? And if W didn't do it, did you start with a neck with fret slots only?
