I have a few. As much as I love Warmoth, I wish that I never made my first and only purchase so far. About a year ago I bought an alder hardtail Strat body that I paired with my MiM Strat neck. I now have an unused MiM Strat body just sitting in my room. I wish that I wasn't so picky at the time and just blocked the tremolo system and saved myself $500.
Before that, my first guitar modification ever was a pickup swap in my Strat. I was putting in a pair of Golden Age humbuckers from Stewmac. The route on the body was fit for three single coils, so I had to take my router to it and open up the cavity... and I basically just hacked away at it. No guides, nothing. It looks rather ugly and I wish I had been more patient and followed the correct steps.
I guess every mistake is a learning experience, however.
So, tell me about your mistakes and projects you wish you could redo so I can feel better about myself. :toothy12:
