In all honesty I don't recall the neck specs. The 15 degree angle is because my observations have shown that many seated players need to lean back a bit in the chair for balance so they don't fall forward. It depends of course on your particular circumstances. Most seated players, wheel chair...

A few years ago I started a project to put ergonomically designed instruments into the hands of those who play while seated in a wheelchair. Although the concept worked really well, it never caught on. I have since donated the remains of the company, and the last piece, a 5 sting bass with a...

The route is bigger than any of the rings I've seen. To cover the route as supplied by Warmoth, Fender, or anyone else, you'd need a HUGE ugly pickup ring. That's why we designed a template system with mounting rings that actually looks really good and works very well too.

You can do it yourself with these new pieces from Telenator!

Modify an existing guitar, or bring your custom pickguard designs to life! You are no longer restricted to using the 3 basic pickguards on the market. Make your own and shatter the mold. Note that the beveled corners on this custom template leave the necessary wood for mounting pickup rings for...

Cast off the pickguard! Ring in the new! Let the beauty of the wood show through on your next guitar project. Imagine having a set of pickup rings that look like polished lava rock, granite, or sandstone! A new world of design options awaits you with our custom pickup mounting rings. Hand...

I didn't see a Wide Range Humbucker option. I think the guitar is very cool but the missing flat-mount bridge option and lack WRHB routing are concerns to me. Give them time. Warmoth always seems to come through with really good stuff.

I think this debate gets a little sidetracked at times because of the way it's defined. People want to believe that mahogany sounds one way, while alder has a slightly different tone and ash offers yet another variation on the tonal pallet. The truth is, a mahogany guitar can sound identical...

Last December I was asked to create an original design guitar to be auctioned off at the annual Silent Auction in Spearfish South Dakota during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Rapid City/Souix Falls Childrens Hospital and Learning Center. I designed the...

Those P94's look really terrific in that body. The black plastic, gold hardware and reddish finish look really great together. When does the neck go on?

Project Update:: A friend of mine with a CNC machine has decided to give me a hand in making these bodies. Here's a few photos. The Warmoth necks have their first few coats of clear nitro and the pegheads have been painted black. The 4 string will be deep transparent red with a maple board...

Beautiful and unique guitars this month! I just voted and look forward to the outcome.

What this always comes down to is the individual as a player. If a player can hear actual or percieved tonal differences and that makes them feel better about their playing, then the result is, they play better. When they play better, they enjoy it more and so does the audience. Tone matters...

Yes. He sent me the sketch on the bottom and I changed a few things to make it work. You're seeing the 4th revision.

A little late to the party so I'll just post a couple photos that are not entered but show a unique guitar. I have always liked the Gibson L6-S model but never cared for the 24 fret neck or 24 3/4" scale so I got this crazy idea to built one out of mahogany with a 25 1/2" scale The pickguard...
