    conversion neck issue and dilemma

    Seems appropriate for a Gibson-scale guitar. I feel like I've never used the 22nd fret in 20 years of playing, so I wouldn't even notice. I definitely wouldn't ruin a beautiful guitar like that to get at it.

    Spring Cavities: Covered or Uncovered?

    I have six guitars with trems, only one doesn't have a cover - I bought one for it, but I felt uncovered fit the hot rod vibe I was going for so I never installed it.

    New video: Is GAS a good thing?

    I'm a visual artist first, guitarist second. Guitar is just a hobby, I have no obligation to be sensible or pragmatic, so whatever makes me happy I am free to do it if I don't have other practical obstructions (finances, space, etc). A good chunk of my guitars are tools of convenience, set up...

    What’s your favorite solid paint color?

    For solid colors I like 'em big and bold. The Graffiti Yellow on my Warmoth Strat is awesome. I want to get a Charger Green in my collection one day as well.

    EVH Frankenstrat Body

    There are a bunch of companies out there doing Frankie bodies, but I doubt it's something we'd ever see added to the Warmoth line.

    New video: All Warmoth's Neck Profiles Explained

    When I built my Warmoth, Wolfgang with 1-11/16 was my pick. I wanted a fast neck that wasn't flat. Hole in one, the neck for me. It'd be neat if a Jimmy Page-esque profile was offered, a rounder C at the head that slopes down into a flat D at the heel. That's the kind of profile I've always...

    Non recessed floyd route setup

    When I built my Charvel I ordered the body without an angled pocket so I could deck it. That wasn't a problem. The problem was, with the bridge as low as it could go the action was still way too high and I ended up having to shim it. With a .5 degree shim and the Floyd decked I've got the action...

    Mustang body lower horn switch option?

    This one gets a thumbs up from me as well, although I predict if such an option were implemented it would not be as part of the standard configuration: First, so they can charge extra for it, and second, so they don't get complaints from people with an older body trying to order a new pickguard...

    Why spend so much money on warmth?

    My one Warmoth build came out to $1200 Canadian, all said and done. A very simple build, yet similarly spec'd guitars from FMIC cost quite a bit more, and this one was exactly how I wanted it. The more custom options are more expensive because they're more custom, you're buying them because...

    Non recessed floyd route setup

    I've asked for it in the past (specifically so I could have a finished Showcase body with a non-recessed Floyd) and was given a hard "no."

    Besides Warmoth orders....what else you waiting on?

    Handmade custom amps at a great price. He makes clones of a lot of classic circuits and has a wide range of modded Marshall clones.

    Besides Warmoth orders....what else you waiting on?

    I ordered March 8th. Ordered mine with Fat, Boost, Bright, Character and Bite switches, a Depth control and a PPIMV. To accommodate the customizations it has to be built in the Gargoyle chassis, which necessitates using the Gargoyle's PT, so the plate voltage is gonna be up around 500v which...

    Besides Warmoth orders....what else you waiting on?

    I'm waiting on one as well. 12 weeks in, expected another 6 at least and now with Malaysia's new lockdown who knows.

    Asymmetric neck contour / profiles (SRV, Wolfgang).....Why not more popular?

    I figure people who like thinner necks will get one that's all thin, and people who like thicker necks will get one that's all thick. To me, the Wolfgang is perfect. It fits my hand exactly.

    Can Warmoth Compare to Prebuilt?

    My Warmoth superstrat plays and sounds better than any prebuilt Strat or Charvel I've played. So yes, they can.
