Well, he's got a Warmoth sticker for it! LOL!
What are those, $1.50? $3.50 if you get the metal one?
I'll never understand the sticker cheat move. It identifies you as either ignorant, underhanded, duplicitous or vain. Perhaps all the above. In any case, not positive characteristics you'd think anyone would want associated with them.

Here is his response:
Hey Joey. I am familiar with Fenders agreement with Warmoth, which simply states that Warmoth needs to give credit to Fender for their trademarked Headstock shapes (Strats and Teles) by clearly marking all of their necks and bodies with a "Warmoth: Licensed by Fender" logo. This guitar was a CUSTOM BUILD guitar built for me by Warmoth, a deviation from their normal shapes and styles. This guitar also does not have a Fender Headstock nor does is have a Fender body shape, so it did not violate copyrights and licensing. I also specifically asked them not to brand the guitar with their typical WARMOTH Black Logo. Warmoth DOES do one piece guitars, you just have to have money to make it worth their time. Thank you for your question.

Maybe after replying to line6man, he realized he was mentally insane and completely wrong.

I did it. The keyword spamming alone was egregious enough.

here is the answer I got. I suspect after at least two people questioned the add...he took it down. Shame...its not a bad looking guitar. Just don't place misleading ads:
Warmoth usually makes bolt-on bodies and necks which they keep in stock always. Warmoth does do one piece guitars, but you have to contact them and specify what you want. They will also charge you a "modest" fee for the extra effort of deviating from their usual designs. I drew the design for this guitar myself. If you've ever seen Warmoth designs before, this guitar is a slight modification of the Warmoth "Z-Body".
z-Body?!?!?!?! :sad1:

Doesn't look like he changed a thing.
Oh, well. No worries. Either somebody will buy it or they won't. Whaddaya gonna do? Anybody here wanna pony up the dough to sue him for false advertising? I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure you can even do that on someone else's behalf unless you're a member of the bar and get the injured party (Warmoth) to hire you as a legal representative. Warmoth isn't acting injured here (not that they'd share their legal woes with us if they were), so it's just a curiosity. Put the thing on your "Watch List" and see what it goes for.
I find it interesting that somebody wants to attach the cachet of being a Warmoth product to their instrument. Says more about the public perception of Warmoth than it does about anything else.
