My Warmoth Strat

[Romu]

Hi everybody,

It's my first post in this forum, I'm a french guitar addict, and since the beginning of this year I'm playing on a Warmoth guitar.

It is a used guitar, not craft by myself

The first owner would to obtain a "Dann Huff stratocaster replica ", and he fixed Fender labels on the head ! and Custom Shop label etc...



I introduce to you my first warmoth :

Originals specifications :

Neck : Maple neck (birds eyes), 6150 fret, V profil (clapton), Warmoth radius, Warmoth pro construction
Fretboard : Rosewood

But I changed all electronics parts since this week

New pickguard ! and 3 pickup from John Suhr !  ML  /  ML  / SSH++, Mogami wire, CTS trim etc...

with a specific wiring :

Great work in any language!!

Given that Dan Huff's main reputation is as the "A-team" first call rhythm guitarist on sessions for Nashville stars, the EMGs and Floyd are puzzling. I woulda figured an old Telecaster.... maybe he has a secret life, hiding in the closet pretending he's Steve Lukather? THAT would be weird.

Looks better with the white pickguard!

EMG pickups seem pretty popular with country players, especially the single coil ones. The non-recessed Floyd is also more rock/bluesy (and so I guess country) than you might think too. Non-recessed Floyds basically sound and operate like a regular Strat vibrato only you know for sure the thing's going to stay in tune. They don't sound any different from a vintage bridge. For a working profesisonal they make a lot of sense and I think the only reason you don't see them more often is because of either vintage purists or "metal" players who insist on having the full range of a recessed bridge.

Anyhoo, I'm liking it, nice to see a V neck getting good use.

 

[AutoBat]

I'd suggest a D-Tuna on it, since it's already van-halenish.

 

[McBrain]

Good looking fiddle! Do you know if that is a vintage tint neck? It doesn't look quite as yellow as they usually do.

 

[Jusatele]

that is a great burst job, top notch

 

[Strat Avenger]

That guitar is gorgeous. I like it much better with the new pickguard and withOUT the EMGs.

[natan]

i hear in other forum that warmoth neck frets need fix after that u by it.is it wright?or they ready to go?

 

[Strat Avenger]

That guitar is beautiful.

 

[gobig2000]

Very Very Classy looking guitar well done man!
:headbang:

Natan, it is a good idea to take the guitar to a luthier after you have installed your Warmoth neck for best results. However, many people are very satisfied with the quality of Wwarmoth necks, and do not take them to a luthier. So to answer your question, yes and no.

Very, very nice!!  :headbang1:
