Warmoth Quiver

I admire how clean your house is, and way cool guitars.

on the left is a Mark Five:25 in Tasmanian Blackwood.

That is crazy beautiful. Here's my humble Boogie quiver:

Photos taken long ago with a now antiquated camera. Here are a few of many builds from days gone by. And the best and the last one has just begun.

Below is one of one 4 Bolts built. It has a Warmoth side adjust neck, Brazilian Rosewood board, vintage height stainless wire, Clapton profile, Fralins, cannot recall body origin. All my 2009-2011 builds sold except for the below 74 Winter and 75 Sunburst and they are not for sale, trade or rent.

Back...


Below is a 1975 3-Bolt Fender Body with a Warmoth Pro/Modern Construction Neck.
Outside of butchering a 3-Bolt Body to accomodate a 4 Bolt neck this build is the first ever to have a Warmoth side adjust neck attached to a 3-Bolt Body thanks to a bullet proof ProAttach Kit. Neck is a Warmoth quarterswan Boat, 6105 stainless wire, Fender Engine Turned Pickguard, pIckups are early Van Zandts rumored to have belonged to a guy who played for Rod Stewart. It is my pride and joy.

Claude King signed while standing beside his vegetable garden. I have a photo of Ray Hennig in his store signing this guitar. Must see video if you are a SRV fan...

Below is a 1974 Fender 3-Bolt Body build with a Warmoth 21 fret side adjust quarterswan neck, Boat profile, 6105 stainless wire, early Van Zandts, cold gold Fender aluminum packguard. Body was "Rescued" from a dismantle parts person who said I could remove Johnny and Edgar Winters' signatures if I wanted to...right. Signatures are documented authentic.
Like all my 3-Bolts the Warmoth side adjust neck is attached using a ProAttach Kit which completely eliminates Fender's mico-tilt hardware. Using forward machine screws and inserts combined with the rear 1/4" x 28TPI machine screw clamping ability the neck is attached rock solid and stays tight.




Below is a 1976 Fender 3 Bolt Ash Body Build named Heavy Duty and Heavy it is. When my now late mother picked the body up she said that's Heavy Duty hence the name. Build has a Warmoth 21 fret Fatback side adjust neck, Van Zandts Blues, Blues, Rock model pickups. In 76 Fender began squaring the Strat neck pocket so it received an extensive pocket mod and a battery box rout was filled. The beyond repair pickguard's horn section with the serial number label was recessed to cover the repaired battery rout/hole which is shown in last photo. Had the Serial Number pro engraved on the neck plate where Fender should have kept it. My brother owns Heavy Duty today.

Here’s the Warmoth family shot from last year. That neck front and center is now a Wes Paul. In honor of Warmoth I name the builds with a W in the name.

Starting from the back left are: Starry Wight Purple Wurl, Purple Wuilt, Purple Waze, and Tahitian Wun.

Front left to right: Wire, Wambird, W6, Wes Paul neck, W12, Black on Wue, The Wrat.

I ordered a Warmoth Strat hardtail body and it will use a USA Fender hardtail vintage spaced bridge and a soon to be ordered Gibson scale neck. With that combo I am concerned about intonation and bridge saddle positioning. I can, but do not want to, adjust the bridge position for intonation without having to shorten springs, etc. I see your bridge is not angled Gibson style and the saddles appear set midstream. I assume it is intonated?

If you’re talking about the Wes Paul, then yes that pic is just after the build before any setup.

Yes and Thanks, beautiful build. I guess for my setup it will be wait and see. I assume to get around the Gibson bridge angle specs Warmoth lenghtened the neck heel slightly to accomodate horizontal bridge intonation. Nonetheless I will get my build to intonate without cutting the low E saddle spring like some said they had to do all while some said they did no mods.
