Hello fellow Warmothians,
This is my first post here and I thought I'll start with my first build from Warmoth parts, which came together in august last year. Now I finally had the time to make some photos and share them with the community!
I started planing this in February 2024, gave it a lot of thought, watched a lot of Aarons videos and exchanged emails with a couple Warmoth employees and then this is what I ordered:
7/8 S-Style Guitar Body
Construction: Solid
Core Wood: Basswood
Lam Top Wood: Quilt Maple
Right / Left Handed: Right-Handed
Control Cavity: Rear Rout
Neck Pickup Rout: None
Middle Pickup Rout: None
Bridge Pickup Rout: Humbucker (Wood Mount)
Controls: Volume 1
Jack Rout: 7/8" (22mm) Side Jack Hole
Bridge Rout Type: Tremolo
Bridge Rout: Floyd Rose (Angled Pocket)
Install bridge studs?: No
Mounting Holes: Standard 4-Bolt
Neck Pocket Shape: Strat®
Body Contours: Forearm Contour, Tummy Cut, Custom Contoured Heel
Binding and Edge Decorations: Natural Masked Edges
Battery Box: None
Paint Category: Dye
Top Color: Black Dye
Back Color: **Candy Red** (Off Menu)
Satin or Gloss: Gloss
Custom:
No Return/Refund/Cancel due to the off-menu nature (Off Menu)
7/8 Warhead Guitar Neck
Construction: Modern
Shaft Wood: Roasted Maple
Fretboard Wood: Roasted Maple
Nut Width: 1-11/16" (43mm) - Modern Medium
Right / Left Handed: Right-Handed
Neck Back Profile: Standard Thin
Fretboard Radius: 10" - 16" Compound
Number of Frets: 24
Binding: None
Fret Size & Material: SS6100 - Jumbo (Stainless)
Tuner Hole Size: Gotoh/Grover (13/32" - 11/32")
Inlay Shape: Supernova
Inlay Material: Moon Glow
Side Dots: White Side Dots Dots
String Nut: R3 Floyd Prep w/ Mounting Holes
Mounting Holes: Standard 4-Bolt
Neck Heel Shape: Strat® Shape
Finish: None
I also ordered a tremcover in black/red/black.
I found this to be a project, where mixed color hardware would look good, so everything touching the red paint is black, everything else is chrome except for a few details in anodized red.
- Tuners are Gotoh Magnum lock.
- Pickup is a Seymour Duncan '78 Model wired with a 500k pot.
- The trem is a Schaller Lockmeister: I didn't like the thought of ordering an Original Floyd Rose from the USA, when it's made here in germany anyway. Also the Schaller was less expensive here and I could order it with a 16 inch (brigde) radius and a 10 inch radius R3 nut.
- Since the guitar is already tuned to D the EVH D-Tuna is really a "C-Tuna".
- I had a hard time finding a trem stopper, so I had a colleage make me one! He nailed it!
Warmoth really nailed that off-menu paintjob. I mean; it's absolutely needless to say, that this guitar was meant to play a huge variety of styles. (Aaron plays a Van Halen Riff)
But I seriously didn't plan to let the color scheme reflect that, I just always loved the combination of black & red!
But now it does and I like that as a nod to Eddie.
Finally, this is what it looks like on me, I love that it makes me look taller!
And it sounds and plays awesome, at least 78 7/8 times better than every guitar I owned before!
