Blizzard pearl is the correct answer when looking for something slightly on the creamy side of white. Looks amazing with white pg, plastics, and maple neck. Check out the older squier deluxe from maybe 10 or 15 years ago. Metallic white is my fave. But its gotta be white white though.

I echo what everyone else says. Building a warmoth is not about saving money or "doing it better". It's about a guitar with the right specs for you, and to have something unique. I see them as functional art. I love the design phase as much as the build, setup, or playing phases. When I...

Call this one in. Also call in for painting headstocks, and any other finishing questions. I had to call in to get a gloss finished spalted headstock veneer on a satin nitro finish. It's shouldn't be an issue since you are basically doing a gold top in a different color.

Seating them wasn't much of an issue. I did learn something though - use a piece of hardwood, not a 2x4. Why? Because ibdented the s**t out of my brand new fretboard. A drop fill with ca glue, razor blading, fine sanding, and 15 years of playing has all but made these disappear. I think...

Here's my VIP. Chambered mahogany body in firemist blue with white binding, 3a flamed maple gibson scale warmoth boatneck, cosmo black hardware, and emg57/66tws. My best and favorite guitar ever. My next build is going to be a metallic white alder carved top tele with tort binding, an all...

I've had fret seating issues on 2 of 3 necks. Both maple, both finished, both with ss frets. One was an '09, the other a '22. I could hook my fingernail underneath a few on one neck. This one I seated with a block of wood and a hammer. Worked great until a mishap dented a few frets, to...

Lemme get this straight, you go through all this for fancy inlaysvwith limited appeal, but STILL don't have off set dots? All on bass side, and lower octave bass side/upper octove treble side would be nice. Simple too. Yet here we are.........

My first 2 builds had fender scaled necks. My third one, the VIP, has a 24.75" boat neck in 1.65" nut width. Best neck I've owned, and maybe played. My next build will have one too.

Nor will they do a Masked binding.

I was seriously considering this route for my next build. But since I have a thing for carved tops, I'm doing a carved top tele. Nice color! I love the Tele headstock on strats too!

I use the 10-16 compound unless a certain bridge, like the gotoh wraptail, needs something specific like 14". There isbliterally no drawback to the compound, so why not use it?

Same here. 3 to 5 starts would mean none are complete. I could do 2 or maybe 3 tops. I have expensive tastes, I guess. So true! I'm a tinkerer at heart, but am realizing it's far easier to exchange a bit of money to get certain things done. Guitars are one of those things that I still do...

What, the TOM? They're the right height to be comfortable, but they're not the most comfortable to mute on. They are solid feel too. My solution is the gotoh wraptail. It's very adjustable and has is super comfortable to rest your hand on.

You mean like this? Tele pocket included. I've always preferred strats this way. Oddly enough, I like the warmoth 3x3 on teles.
