I thought it was time to put up pics of my first Warmoth project.
I was around on the old board and have been lurking around here ever after, a great source for future ideas.
I finished this around easter or something like that, exept for the wiring. I really hate soldering, but after a while I gave it a try and was really pleased with the result, until I tried it and it turned out it didn´t work :icon_biggrin:
After that I´ve been working way to much and haven´t been able to get it done, but I can use it just by a little "hand-wiring" (I´ve actually used it live), but it doesn´t have any controls though..
I know, i know..
Ok
This is a Hollow Warmoth Tele, one piece swamp ash with a one piece swamp ash top wich I did an oil-finish on.
Satin finished maple neck with a beautyful Kingwood fretboard.
Planet Waves auto trim tuners that are awesome and every vintage lovers nightmare, an Earvane nut :grin:
Acoustically it sounds truly great, powerful and with great sustain. Plugged it sounds huge, I wish it was finished though![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It´s quite lightweight wich was kind of important for me and has comfort contoures like a Strat.
Pickups are from Lundgren in Sweden.
I will get some of those compensated bridge saddles to get it intonated proberly, I´m struggling a bit with that.
It turned out pretty much as planned, a bit of 50s Tele with a little modernism here and there.
Ok, are you ready for a little picture-overkill![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
