Hey, my guitar's been bumped!  Sweet! I can't explain how great this guitar sounds.  It has a super-bright vintage tone.  It's the most Telecaster-ey of any Tele I've ever played (if that makes any sense).  The fingerboard already looks vintage, thanks to my sweaty fingers on the unfinished...

Don't know if this has been requested before, so forgive me if it's a repeat. I can't imagine Gretsch licenses their products, but imagine how cool a Warmoth Duo Jet would be (or any of the Jet series for that matter)...

I know what you mean completely.  The pickguard just didn't work on this one though.  Odd how sometimes you can put a pickguard on a complex grain pattern and it works fine, but sometimes a pickguard just doesn't seem right on certain pieces of wood.

Thanks for the kind words! RLW asked if that was a Showcase body...  It sure was.  Both body and neck were picked out of the showcase. nathan a asked about the Kinman pickups...  That's part of the reason it took 5 months to build the guitar.  I can't really put into words how this axe...

Started in February 2007 and finished in June, I've finally got around to uploading some pics. I can never get photos that I like so I just decided to say 'the hell with it' and just upload the best I could do. And yeah, I should have polished it a little before taking the pics, but hey, it's...

It's finished. It's beautiful.  Pictures to come in the Tele section.

He just wanted to make sure there was full disclosure and my approval on anything he did with my guitar.  In this type of work, it's always better to ask permission than to beg for forgiveness. I also think that he mentioned it because he enjoys building Warmoths for himself and others (the...

Well now I know! The gloss finish appears to be very thick (and luscious...)  so I figured that was probably the issue.  But as I said, he said it was no problem to fix.

Has this happened to anyone else? I'm leaving the build to a professional luthier, because quite fankly I want my Tele done right and I'm just not the person to do it. So he calls me and tell me that the string ferrules and electrosocket are both too big for my Tele body.  The ferrules were an...

Just curious, because my next build is going to be an Ernie Ball Axis-style (or the VW, as Warmoth categorizes them): Almost every single guitar I've seen in this style is a bridge / neck humbucker setup, but almost all of the Showcase bodies are bridge only. If I were to buy a Showcase body...
