Hi guys,
First time poster here, looking to gather some info on the current state of warmoth as well as some thoughts on the details of my build.
I’ll divide my questions into those 2 catagories below:
[about warmoth]
1. What is the current state of warmoth QC? - I’ve seen a lot of threads praising the QC of warmoth however many of these are up to decades old, while there are newer threads suggesting a drop off in standards
2. Pricing? Being from the UK, a warmoth isn’t particularly cheap, in fact it will likely turn out slightly more than a used Les Paul standard. (£1500/1600) I’m wondering if it’s actually worth this price tag?
3. Finishes? What’s the quality like on warmoth in house finishes? (In particular the yellow dye finish which looks nice in the preview) any recent experience or alternatives?
[more questions related to specs of my build (maybe not suited for this forum?)]
4. What specs (neck profile, fret wire size, etc) should i look to for emulation of a Gibson les paul? - of course I’m not looking for anything perfect as when it comes down to it will be it’s own guitar and not a les paul, however that’s the style im looking for.
5. How similar to a les paul can you get with warmoth? - I know there are obvious construction differences what with a WM being a bolt on neck but surely the woods and hardware count for something ?
Just a little bit of info to add is this build is in part t create a les paul style guitar to have a completely different playing experience from a my only other guitar (Ibanez Jem 7v) while also to provide some satisfaction in ‘creating’ my own guitar that suits me however the possibility of just buying a les paul if this build proves too far fetched is not off the table.
Anyways, quite the dump of questions here, any help at all would be appreciated
Cheers,
Alfie
