    Warmoth "W" Truss Rod Cover

    I can only go so small on the size due to the limitations of the printing but yes I could do some words or initials.

    Very low humidity year round

    I lived and worked on guitars in Phoenix AZ for most of my career. Your frets will sprout, meaning the ends will protrude beyond the edge of the fingerboard. And on rare occasion, necks that werent properly dried before construction and shipping can twist. Warmoth, as far as I know, has a pretty...

    Warmoth "W" Truss Rod Cover

    I recently got a tiltback construction neck and wanted to have a simple but still Warmoth truss rod cover. I decided I could easily 3D print one up. I designed one that uses a single screw hole because I prefer that for having easier access to remove it for adjustments with the strings on the...

    GAS Alert!!!!

    Since the satin that warmoth uses is nitro, you can easily polish it to a gloss

    Extremely Tight Pocket

    I work in furniture in the US and the tolerance on cut parts in the frame is low like .5mm with a tolerance on the final product being 5 or 6mm Fender designs in a 0.02” clearance in all of their pockets to let the tolerances work.

    Extremely Tight Pocket

    well everything is a tolerance so if you have two pieces on the extremes then you may need to sand a little. a painted body is not likely to swell that much the unfinished neck may swell some but roasted woods are supposed to be way more stable in that regard. I would wait it out if you can for...

    Tremolo springs help & advice

    less springs feel smoother (basic spring physics) so if you need more than 3 for your tuning/string gauge setup then try out the "high tension" springs. Several places sell them and they are usually red. I have seen "ultra high tension" as well but never tried them. If you have 3 springs and...

    For a typical Strat, why 2 Tone knobs?

    For a typical strat I will wire the bridge to tone 2 instead of the middle. I then roll it off to about 7 and it improves the sound of a the strat bridge pickup quite a bit.

    First time wiring. This look okay?

    One more thing, I have my 3 pickup jazzmaster wired with 3 switches but because they are double pole, I have used the other set of poles to allow for the "all off" position to actually be "bridge" so I am never in a no sound condition. I would 100% mess that up live 🙃 so I made it work for me...

    First time wiring. This look okay?

    Take each pickup to its volume then to the switch panel. Also in this case, if all the switches are off you get a kill switch so do you need the kill switch too?
