Hello to everone!
I´m new here and also a first time Warmoth builder. I ordered an alder Stratbody with quilt top and an ebony neck from the Showcase a couple of days before christmas. I´ve been looking at Warmoth for some time and the ebony neck made it. I just had to build a guitar with this neck. So I found a beautiful body witth a nice tobacco sunburst finish to go. Now I have been reading some not so positive things about Warmoth lately, so I was a bit uncertain about what to expect. But when my pieces arrived a couple of days ago I was stunned! Perfect fit, finish, feel! Just beatiful! And the customer service was top notch!
I´ve just put the neck on and the feel of this guitar is sensational. I usually play lightweight Strats. This guitar feels totally different, mainly because of the neck. It´s hard, heavy and incredebly smooth. Feels almost like marble, exept it´s not cold. It rings for days!
Now I´m just waiting for the pickups to arrive so I can complete this project. Two humbuckers from Curtis Novak! This aint no regular Straocaster :toothy10:
Anyway, terrific quality, great stuff!
I´ll post some pictures wheen it´s done!
All the best
