Finally verified: Nuno played a Warmoth

[Scab Pickens]

I am astounded at how rare Ziricote fingerboards are. Ziricote feels fantastic to play on. It's one of the prettiest woods too.

I agree. The one I have is as solid and smooth as any ebony board I've played ...

I've never had a guitar with a ziricote fretboard. Looks great.

Fairly certain this is the Warmoth Joe Perry build. His tech did much more to the guitar. It was a Wenge LP style neck with gold trapezoid inlay. That much I can remember.

Yep, that's it. It was an LPS body with the Wenge/Ebony neck. His tech did all of the cool stuff on it aside from the inlays, and Perry gave him all the credit on the guitar.

I'm betting Joe Perry has more than one Warmoth piece in his collection. LOL.

Joe Walsh too.

Joe Walsh ordered SO MUCH stuff from Warmoth over the course of a few years. There used to be a pic in the shipping area in the old building of him playing a V he built from Warmoth parts. It was always super cool to see.

That's beautiful. Does it feel like a Mustang?

Here are mine. One is a Fat Back with jumbo frets, the other is a Wizard with small frets.

Does it feel like a Mustang?

No, why would it? It feels like a really chunky SG with a bit more of a stiff string action due to the longer scale length. Or are you talking about petting horses?

I'm fairly certain the Tele body guitar Maddie often plays on current SNL episodes is a Warmoth build, also.

I didn't know anyone still watched SNL.

i thought this was verified years ago. warmoth.com said that he played thier stuff. don't they have a page that says "people who use warmoth"? or at least they used to, and nuno was at the top of the list.

wow, that's amazing! so that's a warmoth modern tilt-back neck? looks super custom with the inlays and white headstock finish. what tuners are you using here? i'm trying to make my final decision on a tilt-back strat replacement neck. i'm a little bothered by the quote"

"The force exerted by the headstock end of the double truss rod is considerable. There must be a minimum 1/8" of wood below the rod end to prevent wood failure in this area. Thinning a neck beyond factory engineered dimensions is not recommended or covered under warranty."

i also came across a thread somewhere where a few guys said there was a strange sound that came from a modern construction neck w/ dual-trusrods, comparte to a modern vintage. i wish i had saved the quote.....something about a high-end pitch or.........i don't really know. something about it was "off" compared to the vintage/modern. but they were also talking about a straight neck and not a tilt-back. wonder what your experience with this is (?)

Yes.

Do you plan on thinning the neck beyond factory engineered dimensions? If not, you shouldn't be bothered.

I haven't noticed the issues you speak of.
