Warmoth discontinued products......what do you think of this idea?

Recently I noticed that a lot of pedal builders (for whatever reason) have a page on their website dedicated to their discontinued pedals. I figured what the heck, let's give it a try.

Warmoth discontinued products.

I was thinking maybe I could flesh out the page with more info, maybe other resources to date parts, like the rough year when the Warmoth brand changed, etc.

What you think?

Just a place to go to get depressed!

Wow. This and that Wayback link unlocked forgotten teenage memories. I forgot all about the BC Rich stuff. There’s still a part of me that pines for a Mockingbird.

there was variaxe stuff?!?!?!

Oh yeah I remember looking at that back in the day. I was trying to find out something about building a guitar with variax guts and found a snippet on a forum about Warmoth making the bodies for Yamaha and also selling custom color versions on the Warmoth site.

One of my first tasks when I started working for Warmoth was to name a bunch of new products that were replacements for the discontinued Gibson stuff. Diamondback, Regal, Royale, Hombre, Slapshot, Arcade, etc. are all names I came up with.

But I felt especially clever about renaming the "Variax" neck to "Vortex", because it started and ended with the same letters. LOL.

But I didn't know we did a body routed for Variax guts. The pics of the Variax body on that wayback page are the only ones I have ever seen, and may very well be the only ones that still exist.

Of all of those, I miss the Eagle and the Music Man Axix.

I was eyeing the V for some time, but something else was always getting in the way and then they were discontinued.

Btw.: Why were they called "VW"? They look nothing like a Volkswagen! Or is that why they were discontinued? Did Volkswagen complain?

My guess is “Van Halen / Wolfgang” since it’s a direct homage to the EBMM EVH model (now sold as the Axis). The site says the Warmoth VW came out in 1997, and Eddie had switched to Peavey to develop the Peavey Wolfgang in 1996.
