Today is a great day. Just as the crystal ball of Quantam View had predicted, the final piece of the puzzle that is my first Warmoth build arrived today, and unharmed (thank you Ups, may I have another?). I had to wait for the kids to go to bed, but I did it. I finished my first build. I know, I know, the pics will be following in the next few days, my mother is using my camera at the moment. I did want to relay these few things....Warmoth is the greatest, their parts are incredible and I can't believe the overall quality here. Everything is gorgeous and it all fit together like it should. CB's tip on installing the tuner inserts is spot on, worked like a charm. Superbeasts tip on installing ferrules, Ditto. (that one is pretty far back in the tips and tricks postings, but if you're building a hardtail look it up). I did all my soldering with an eighteen dollar, twenty-five watt Weller, and it did the trick, looks good too, if I say so myself. The last thing is this...if you are building a hardtail strat, beware the bridge ground wire, it's the only thing that gave me any trouble, but I got it worked out. If you are handy in the least little bit, and you take your time and do a little research, you can build a guitar. Thanks to everyone here for any and all insights, PICS WILL BE COMING.
