First post ever:
I've been thinking about a custom Tele build for some time now. I've heard good things about Warmouth so I came here.
The only issue I've really had is making sense of all the different options, specifically the different bridge sizes, the input jack sizes, etc. Honestly I never realized how many different directions you can go with a custom build. Is there really a particular advantage or is it just a matter or preference?
My question is for anyone that's built an axe with Warmoth parts, how you do guys generally go about making these decisions? Do you pick the hardware first and then get the dimensions to match? Or is there a general spec guideline that "most" parts will fit?
Honestly I would think it should be relatively straight-forward, I don't want a tremolo/Bigsby or anything, just a standard hard-tail and decent tuners (don't need them to lock). I have enough setup experience where I'm confident I can put it all together, wire the pups, etc without an issue. I just don't really know where to start with all the different specs you can choose.
Would also like to hear anyone's thoughts on a Mahogany/Flame Maple body and a RoseWood/Ebony neck. As you can probably tell I want the warmth and heaviness you get from Mahogany but I like the look of Flamed Maple.
Basically the idea is a dual-humbucker Tele with a darker tone than you will get with Alder body and Maple neck from Fender.
If there's an existing thread for this type of question please let me know and I'll post it there.
Thanks in advance.
