First Warmoth purchase...

[dsn716]

How many here remember their first Warmoth purchase?
Mine was a 7/8's rear routed alder Strat body, and a 7/8's 24 fret maple/maple Strat headstock neck.
I ordered it in February of 1990. Filled out the order form, which was a full page ad in the recent (at that time) issue of Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine, and mailed it in with a money order. It was the first guitar I had ever built, and my favorite in my small collection at the time. Unfortunately, it was stolen from the studio my band was rehearsing in only a few months after I had it all put together.
What and when was your first Warmoth purchase?

Koa Tele body with a birdseye maple neck.... back in the late 70's.

Conversion maple tilt back neck with pau ferro fret board with mop fret dots. 1995? It went on a kotean tele with upgraded dimarzio pups. the tele was sold during a heard thining episode.  Yeah, l miss it.

Mine was a HH rear control walnut strat, that I installed EMG 81/85 pairing, recessed a tune-o-matic stop tail piece bridge in and a Carvin neck, rounded off horns [like the Joe Satriani Ibanez], back in 1995. Sold a few years ago and has popped up on eBay a couple of times since.

Ah, there's a good idea for another discussion: Tell us about the guitar you got rid of, and hated yourself for it every minute since.

Hardware back in the 80's, first body was a basswood white pearl strat body with a pre-side nut Warmoth pro strat neck in the late 80's or early 90's..

I'm fairly new to Warmoth's products. I bought my first neck about 5 years back and the first body/neck combo about 3 years ago. I had the pleasure of ordering the first roasted swamp ash body with transparent red on it.

Sherwood Green telecaster, ordered on a whim.  Still have it!

Love the transparent finishes over roasted swamp ash.

April of 2010.  Plain old maple on maple neck.  It wasn't attached to my first Warmoth body at the time (chambered black strat), but it is now.

This should be a fun thread to watch, I predict lots of pictures of great guitars!

My first Warmoth creation was made as a gift. A Harrison-style Tele with the Rosewood body with thin Maple laminate in the middle, and an all-Rosewood neck. It turned out great and I was hooked on Warmoth for life. This guitar also got the best set of Tele pickups I have ever wound myself, never have managed to reproduce them. Kismet I guess!

 

[rgand]

Damn, there's some beautiful stuff showing up here. Can we vote on them?

I can't find the order confirmation e-mail and the order doesn't show up in my order history, but around the end of '07/beginning of '08 I got a Tele body off the Showcase. It turned into this.

Sweet mother of Pete! I'm not a Tele guy, but that is gorgeous!

Thanks! At the time I only had one other partscaster build under my belt, a utilitarian thing that I used as a beater for testing pickups and such. The Rosewood Tele was my first foray into working with such high caliber materials. I was sweating bullets the entire time, haha!
