    Stratocaster build

    Yes - "rear rout" does not require a pick guard. Rear Rout is my go-to. Give Warmoth a call and they can snail mail you a paper rear route template - that you can use as a guide to rout the cavity. You can make your own cavity cover or buy one from Warmoth (first before you rout the cavity)...

    Digital Nut Slotting Gauge - Generic - $65.06 delivered

    I agree with TimewNewRoman - way easier and more accurate than feelers or rulers. After measuring 6 of my guitars - I'm realising that I bought this mainly for my education - trying to discover why one guitar feels and plays a certain way - relative to the others. I'm sure now that I'll never...

    Is there a hard-tail equivalent of the Gotoh VS-100?

    What I really like about the Gotoh VS-100 is the lockable (just tighten down the hex screw) saddles. Are there any fixed bridges that have a similar (lock down the saddles) feature?

    Help identify this hard tail bridge?

    I have a bridge on my 1980s Warmoth hard tail and would love to find an other like it. Maybe someone here has seen it before? I got it from a local luthier's junk drawer and I think I remember that he said it was taken off of some ~off brand~ guitar when he installed a trem for that client...

    Hipshot fixed bridge with thicker baseplate

    I still have do do some micro measuring before committing to either the .125 or .175 but I am 'suspecting' I'd not be able to get a high enough action with the .125. UPDATE: I measured my old 1980s hard-tail Warmoth and even the .175 won't give me a high enough action - and I even have it set...

    Shostakovich 5th - 2nd mvt. - I just ran across a better performance - more nuanced than I've heard before.
