personally it wouldn't matter to me if you showed up with two Afghani Squier copies with clothes pin tuning machines and Radio Shack pickups...... its your equipment and no one else should "expect" you to loan it out. If you volunteer it then you assume the risk but no one should voluntold your...

Plan right now is chrome- Gotoh SG38 tuning machines, chrome narrow spaced strat flat mount w/Graph Tech string saver saddles, chrome strat jack plate. For electronics looking at DiMarzios- X2N, Fast Track 2 (middle), Air Norton S (neck), with 5 way switch and master volume. Steve

I concur; a band saw is also indispensable. In fact I got mine before I got the drill press..... though sometimes I think I should have got a bench top band saw and gotten a table saw as well. Instead since I already had a full size band saw I never got the table saw and told myself I could get...

Yeah, it (drill press) is indispensable for working in the garage. I use it for everything imaginable and a lot of things I wouldn't have thought a few years ago before I bought it.... boring, sanding, cutting, pressing. On my first Warmoth I used it to turn in the inserts in the neck also. A...

New update for tonight: Got ready to do some work and realized I need to order some more shielded wire before starting on the wiring. Guess I need to order some and just work on other parts for now. THough the effectiveness is debatable, since I am using passive pickups on this build, might as...

continuation of my "Just Out of the Box" thread with working/build pictures. First to re-cap what was posted in the other thread: Boxes have arrived after waiting feverishly: And inside the big box: and the other box contained: Put together they will look something like: and...

thanks; finally gives me a start, but with a little different personality. :-) I wouldn't go any other way than the SS 6100s. They aren't going to affect the height of the strings off the frets so you can still have the same action you would have otherwise regardless of the scalloping. I like...

After 9 other guitars including 3 other Warmoths (not counting the body hanging in the garage awaiting a finish) I decided it was time to add a Stratocaster to the arsenal. Boxes have arrived after waiting feverishly since receiving the shipping notice last week: And inside the big box...

Concur, can't go wrong with Wenge. Is easily my favorite, especially with an ebony board.

nice; just recently ordered another wenge neck myself- though with ebony fretboard like my last- though with a reverse warhead. My last was quite a bit darker than that, that is pretty nice. Where did you get the knobs from?

if only you could get the cool inlays on a scalloped neck.

I agree with page 1; regardless of the color gotta go with covers.

Hell yeah; now if only it had a scalloped neck: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19704.0

I was with you until last week; saw Maiden in concert in Chicago last week and during several songs Dave was playing a Less Paul. Most of the show he was playing one of three strats but he played the LP on at least a couple of songs. Adrian played his Jacksons, an SG, and maybe something...

+1 for the Wenge. I have Wenge and Goncalo Alves necks in addition to a whole bunch of finished Maple and Mahogany and the Wenge is by far my favorite; it is slick, hard, and fast. Mine is Wenge with an Ebony fretboard and I like it so much I have almost come to the position that all future...
