Marbled Padouk limited run is on sale now, plus.... a new kind of finish!

[aarontunes]

Check out the Marbled Padouk limited run!

Also, Warmoth hopes to soon be offering a "Natural Semi-Gloss" finish. Thoughts?

They all look great! C'mon though, would it kill you guys to do at least 1 or two left-handed bodies and necks. We're out here too.

A black korina top over mahogany core in semi gloss finish would be just awesome.

As for the padouk bodies in the showcase, some look like bacons, some look like... Georgia O'Keeffe paintings.

I had the exact same thought!

Warmoth is pretty lefty-friendly. For example, you can custom order nearly every product we make for the exact same price as righty.

We include lefties in promos when it makes sense to do so. For example, there have been tons of lefty things in our current Screamin' Deals push. TONS of them.

I know there is a certain sense of "justice" that goes unfulfilled, but the hard truth is that for promos like this it doesn't make financial sense to include anything but our best selling features. History has taught us that when we include anything else, we usually end up discounting it to get it to move.

I love the natural finish!

I dig it. Look forward to seeing all the different colors.

Bacon wrapped Strats! I really like the natural semi-gloss.

It's hard to tell from the video, but it looks like it might be great for some types of wood and not others. Swamp Ash looks great, but I'm not sure about the Black Korina. Maybe in person it looks much better. I look forward to seeing it as a regular option!

I know, I have bought several Warmoth bodies and necks and really, really appreciate the options from Warmoth. I even snagged two great left-handed bodies in Screamin' deals that I couldn't have afforded otherwise. I understand it isn't feasible to do limited runs in lefty, but some of those tops are amazing. Maybe some could be offered in unique choice?

There's a lot to be said for using wood that is perfectly sound but doesn't have uniform coloration. The transformation of ebony sapwood into a marketable product was waaay too long in coming. Good job, Warmoth. 10/10 no notes.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

That natural semi-gloss finish is really nice, however it looks just like a Warmoth build I did using about 20 coats of TruOil.

 

[ChronoTrigger77]

Not sure about marbled marbled padouk, but very interested in the natural semi-gloss finish as a general option.

 

[NovasScootYa]

All painted W bodies look nice and the latest offering is no exception, however for me I do mods fitting for unfinished bodies so ordering is limited to Alder, Contour Heel, Checkout.
All of my builds since 2009 come in one color, street name Banana Pudding. One received a gloss clear coat and the rest received no clear to better blend with Canary, etc. My current build seen in Builds in Progress will be the same although the Maple neck will receive a gloss finish and become semi gloss with steel wool, micro mesh, etc.

So the natural semi gloss is just satin with no grain filler?

No, not at all. Totally different product and process.
