2025 Builds in Review

[Hagwood]

Well I think I had a pretty productive first year of Warmoth builds. I want to think everyone in the forum for all of the great information I learned and a wonderful place to share ideas. Until this year I had only done mods, neck replacements, re-frets, etc, but my Purple Haze Musiclander was my first real build and from unfinished wood. I have learned so much and discovered a hobby to take me into retirement that I am very passionate about. I love the finishing process as well as the electronic aspect, so I know I will always start with unfinished bodies, and look forward to lots of experimentation in 2026.....

That Meadowhawk though!

I really like your style. Not a one I wouldn’t put in my own collection.

Nice!

Bass time?

Bass time?

That's definitely on the table, but I also have too many ideas for 6 strings ......

Beautiful builds. Truly excellent work. I started in 2025 as well and also plan to take the hobby into my retirement.

Nice set of 2025 builds ! I started in 2018 but I don’t I did a 2025 build . I did buy 2 bodies, so that makes 6 of them sitting on the shelf. Just bought some SD Filtertron pups, so maybe time for a 2026 winter build project.

That would be a good way to start, I'm strongly leaning toward a Filtertron build next myself, just haven't decided what kind......
