The "Unofficial Warmoth" Donation Guitar

Here is another idea for a truss rod cover, see link below.

I like what I see

For what it's worth, I like simple plastic black truss rod covers. I found that wooden truss rod covers, if too thin, can warp.
One of my sources for the plastic ones ...

I’m sure I have mentioned this before, but the stock Warmoth truss rod cover is just ridiculously HUGE!!! Not only that, but it has three screws to hold it on. Like that piece of plastic is holding the whole guitar together! I honestly see no reason for it. One screw is enough. Juxtapose that with the rear rout cover that’s easily ten times the size, and it only has four screws. It’s just comical.

I would just take the stock cover and use a belt sander to take the meat off the sides. Leave the screw hole at the top. You’re finished piece doesn’t need to be more than 3/4” - 7/8” wide.

Hey all, sorry for my very long hiatus. The last 3 months were not kind to me work-wise and I barely got to follow any of my hobbies. My wife and parents are also not happy about how absent I have been. But I am back - and I am back in style with a completed guitar.

@vernschrock @Rick @aarontunes thank you guys so much for the donations. It was absolutely worth it. The guitar plays and sounds fantastic and I've got to admit that silver as compared to the black on the original build is at least as nice, if not nicer.

Oh, and I am currently in the process to organize the donation. Currently, Ukraine and Peru are candidates.

You’re very welcome Alex. The guitar is looking fantastic!!! You did a great job putting it all together. I love it!

Have you considered louisiana? Just wondering

Here's the comparison of the two guitars. Which one do you like more?



Oh, and just so everyone knows. The second guitar is also KVLT!

Looks like two different guitars. Left looks classy yet still metal, other heavy metal. Nice work man! Also, welcome back.

Wow Ukraine or Peru?!!!
