Hi Everyone,
I have been reading this forum for the past few months after finding out about Warmoth and this is my first post. I have learned a lot from what I have read so far. I do not own a Warmoth yet, but I was originally hoping to build an LP but saw they had to discontinue them. I came across someone selling an LP locally and the price seemed very reasonable and I am hoping to buy it in the next few days. I have a concern though, that is telling if it is a legitimate Warmoth body and neck and not some knock off with a bolt-on neck. After talking to the owner nothing lead me to believe something is askew, but figured I should do my due diligence. Are there any other indicators without detaching the neck from the body to look for the stamp?
Here some of the specifications & pictures:
Body: one piece mahogany
Top: flame maple
Binding: black
Contoured heel
Neck: mahogany
Fretboard: ebony
Inlay: abalone shell
Neck profile: 59 roundback
Frets: gold
Nut: 1 11/16
Radius: Straight 12”
Pickups are DiMarzio 36th anniversary PAFs DP103 and DP223.
Strap buttons are Dunlop straplocks WITH a strap.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.
