Want your guitar to be famous?

[ghotiphry]

Yes. He is one of the Greg's I spoke of. (The other being Tonar)

My bad, I knew this.

 

[Rick]

Yeah, Fat Pete ... where are you?

 

[Wizard of Wailing]

Great Ape guitar, but unfortunately I went with a Strat headstock. Bummer.

 

[DangerousR6]

I would nominate one of DBU's Soloists...

Diamondback.
Padauk neck, warmoth headstock, ebony board, white binding.
Stainless frets, split block inlays.

That's a fine-looking axe.

Does fender trademarked neck mean fender licensed neck?

Does fender trademarked neck mean fender licensed neck?

Yes. The idea is to show off the thing we do that aren't Fender-derived, or at least far enough removed from the big F to be unmistakably ours.


F-licensed headstocks are out.

Customer?  How about these:

Of course, if it needs to be a customer guitar, you could send it to me and I'd gladly play it for a while.

So many great looking guitars! I've got a Warmoth LP and a Warmoth Tele, neither of which would work haha too bad my VIP isn't finished yet!

 

[Rick]

I hadn't thought about it .... but all my electric guitars are extremely fendery ... except for the one I'm building now ... also a VIP.

 

[alexreinhold]

how about this one?

Strat-body but very non-Strat finish and headstock.

 

[aarontunes]

This is the general idea I'm going for.


I am looking for completed guitars, non-Fender.

 

[TBurst Std]

I would imagine it also needs to be within you current offerings. This disqualification of a gen 2 VIP. So altered body and routes, but with solid carve top and dished control holes.

I am sure they will be sent to you once you place a paid order for them... :laughing7:

 

[Fat Pete]

Thanks for thinking of my builds!

I did see this thread but for some reason only thought of my Teles which don't qualify. You're more than welcome to use 'Beast', which is the only one that really does (apart from my Soloist baritone 'Barracuda', but I wasn't really happy with that one).

I have some high-res, very nearly straight-on photos I could send over.

Don't forget that scimitar  guitar ... That was over the top ... I loved the control knob labels.  If it's a fender licensed neck I'd give it a pass it's so good.

Thanks rick - no danger of me forgetting the Scimitar 6, but it (body and neck) is a version of a Fender design (though 'design' might be a bit of a stretch given the history of how the originals came into being).

Apparently no stamp is required on the heel though, so Aaron, there is also this...

I suspect it might be a bit 'left field' for Warmoth's purposes - outside the confines of this warm and friendly place it's pretty divisive - about 50/50. Could be fun for a love it or hate it type thing.

 

[swarfrat]

It's up to Aaron but personally I think the Route 66 Tele deviates enough from Fender offerings for consideration.

Thanks, but I definitely can't hold Warmoth responsible for the body on that one.

(It's the year, not the road!)
