Hi all,
I had the wonderful opportunity today to visit the Warmoth factory up in Washington. It is guite a site to see with al the craftsmen and women applying their craft to the raw wood and other materials it takes to make a guitar. The smell of drying wood and sawdust permeate the facility and everyone works in close proximity to each other in a kind of harmony that comes from creating art with your hands. Greg gave the the quick tour since I had a flight to catch but I got to put my hands on some amazing necks - canary with Ebony, one piece Brazilian rosewood necks that were sensational. Made my birdseye maple necks pale in comparison.
Anyway - great hospitality - I am sure that they do not get to actually meet many customers nor see the finished products after they leave the factory and are assembled in someones home guitar shop. If you ever get the opportunity to be in Seattle - Warmoth is a 60 minute ride south towards Mt Everett - that is with their horrible traffic - pay them a visit I am sure you will not be disappointed.
