when i made my first call to warmoth the first question i ask was how there show case stuff compared to fender custom shop. The salesman told it was as good or better. Well we will see. Since I have long been a fan of fender custom shop guitars. ( i own 6 two of them master built) But I wanted to try putting a guitar togeather having things i want with out the year long wait so i though what the hell lets give it a shot. Well what a learing experiance. Not only did i have a whole lot of fun. But I ended up with, what i feel is, a guitar that matches any of my custom shop guitars in sound, tone, looks and, quality. To top it off there that little something about playing some thing i got to create. All i can say is the guy at warmoth was right on. And thanks. I have to do another one sometime.
