    Help with Exact Burst Finish with Swamp Ash Body

    Yes, I saw this. Big fan of Aaron's videos; he puts out great content. Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, the video didn't really answer my question.

    Help with Exact Burst Finish with Swamp Ash Body

    Your point about the yellow being too bright is absolutely spot in. It is in fact of this that I thought of posting on the group and asking this question. The yellow in the black to yellow burst almost looks like a transparent fluorescent yellow which isn't something I'm a fan of.

    Help with Exact Burst Finish with Swamp Ash Body

    This is great, thanks so much! Almost certain I'm going to go with this... time for me to modify the body in my cart I guess

    Help with Exact Burst Finish with Swamp Ash Body

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think I'm inclined to go with tobacco burst since that seems to be a brown to yellow (or at least something similar) kind of a look.

    Help with Exact Burst Finish with Swamp Ash Body

    Mann Tremolo Compatibility with 6 Hole Vintage Trem Routing

    Hi All, I am wondering if the Mann Vintage 6 hole tremolo will fit into Warmoth's 6 hole Trem routing. The reason I am asking is that Mann says the bridge will fit directly into a vintage 6 hole routing whereas the measurements on the two websites (Mann's and Warmoth's) are a bit different...

    Sanding down a Boatneck to a 59 Roundback

    Thanks folks. I have a pair of digital callipers so will utilise them for measuring neck thickness. Since the Boatneck is 1" thick, I'm guessing I can go to 0.950"

    Sanding down a Boatneck to a 59 Roundback

    Hey Folks, I got a vintage modern neck with a boatneck profile some time back. I like the neck but I feel that the thickness of the neck is ever so slightly a bit too much for me. Plus, I do think that the V is a bit too hard and I'd like a more rounded profile. Hence, I'm thinking of...

    Shaving Warmoth Neck

    Hi All, First time poster here. I bought a Warmoth Vintage strat body some months ago and would like to buy a new neck to attach to it. The problem I have is that I don't see a neck that would be the perfect size for me. Ideally, I'd like a 1 5/8 nut width with some amount of heft. Hence...
