Checkerboard, anyone?

I have been looking for the right look for a tele I plan to build and I think I just might have found it.

I know Warmoth does not offer this kind of thing, but the big question here is 'will they work with customer supplied binding?'

 

[Nando Vallart]

*I* think this would look better with white binding... there is enough bling with the sparkle finish...

But have no idea about the costumer supply on this one, I guess you shall contact Warmoth to know this

This guitar looks great. I like the idea!

Wow nice.

I don't think Warmoth does either that finish or binding style.  Looks like a recipe for a complete custom job.

you could always order a body without any contours or radii on the top and bind it yourself. it's really not that hard if you have a router and the right bits (available at stew-mac or lmii.com). once the binding ledge is cut you just glue in the binding and hold it with tape until it dries then scrape and sand off the excess glue and material. I'm oversimplyfing this a little bit but not much. Good luck.

They do the finish:

I have a million questions to ask them on the phone, but I don't want to be the guy who calls, asks a questions, and hangs up. Will they NOT be pissed?

So call them, ask questions, and order right then and there. Problem solved.


..Seriously though, I think as long as you aren't spamming them, they are usually cool about it. I emailed them five times before I placed an order, just asking questions, and the fact that I got excellent customer service is part of why I placed an order here instead of just getting an EBMM Bongo (in the same color as my P) for the same amount of money and having it done and purchased 20 weeks sooner. Of course 10 of those weeks were waiting on a paint job from a non-Warmoth guy who is a bit backlogged right now..




Also, there are too many G's in the forum  ???. imminentG, Unwound G, and knucklehead G.. Is there a theme here?
