    Looking for someone to paint/finish a Warmoth Regal. St.Paul/Minneapolis, MN

    I have a Warmoth Regal that has been sitting in my closet for a couple years now. I have tried a few times to dye/stain it, but have failed at getting the results I am interested in. At this point, between life and work, I am more than willing to shell out some extra cash towards a competent...

    Tips to get a Joe Perry Boneyard look?

    I was doing some more searching regarding tips on how to get this type of finish. Someone on youtube post a vid of them attempting the Boneyard/Aged Tiger finish and they stated that the best way to do it is to do black dye for the flame, but then use a tinted lacquer for the yellow/amber. I...

    Some questions about natural finishes

    Thanks for the reply. I am not planning on using a mix, but merely a spray can (reranch) for clear coating as I do not have a spray gun. Could I still just do a quick coat of tinted clear mixed in between regular clear and get the same results?

    Some questions about natural finishes

    I have a Precision Guitar Kit '59 Les Paul (Limba body, plain maple cap, maple neck, ebony fretboard, ebony veneer). I have been hemming and hawing over how to finish it and have settled on simply doing a natural finish. I love how natural finish LPs age, but new natural finish LPs are simply...

    Has the VIP body changed over the past few years?

    While the regular forum search wasn't helpful, Google was. I stumbled on this post in another thread where Cagey displays both variations of the VIP. http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=20242.15

    Has the VIP body changed over the past few years?

    I am about to pull the trigger on a new body and am mulling between a Regal or a VIP. When searching for examples of finished VIPs it seems as if there are some slight differences in the body shape, specifically around the upper horn/cut, it appears longer in some pics and shorter in others? Is...

    Bar string retainer on a non-trem guitar?

    Hello. I am currently planning my new build and have a question. With all my other builds I have always used a Fender hardtail and your run-of-the-mill string trees/retainers for the 1st and 2nd strings. This time around I am utilizing a TOM and I would like to avoid those traditional 1st/2nd...
