Nuno talks about Warmoth

[aarontunes]

Here's another video of Nuno talking about how his sig model started with a Warmoth:

It makes me wonder how many artists signature models came from Warmoth parts. There are three I know for certain:

Nuno - N4
Vivan Campbell - Night Swan
Chris Shifflet - Tele Deluxe

 

[Strat Avenger]

Nuno just left Washburn.

 

[Hodgo]

Nuno just left Washburn.

Shoot… I was really hoping to grab a Nele at some point.

I wonder if Warmoth will be making parts for his new guitar company.

You can throw Ed Van Halen in there too.

His "Boogie Bodies" build (which he purchased from Wayne Charvel) was technically a pre-Warmoth product, but was manufactured by Lynn Ellsworth and Ken's father, Jim.

Chip Ellis has stated Ed's guitar body had a "Boogie Bodies" stamp in the routes.

Yep, I know. Ken was running the neck department at Boogie Bodies and almost certainly worked on the neck.

We typically shy away from thumping our chests about that, but it's pretty apparent in photos:

Wow, absolutely wow!

Pretty interesting.. this is an example of a Boogie Bodies build from 1979, right before the Warmoth/Ellsworth split.

This might as well be a prototype for a Joe Satriani signature guitar, decades later.

Look at the super-rounded body, offset horns for upper fret access, no pickguard, bridge humbucker, neck single-coil, tremolo bridge, etc.

Ya, pretty crazy! NFT Floyd too, or as they called it back then: a Floyd Rose tremolo.

And since this is/was a Nuno thread, here he is with his Warmoth (and 3/4 of the band with some pretty dope headbands):
