Which job would you like at Warmoth ?

[DangerousR6]

I like to eat saw dust, especially exotic wood saw dust.... :help:

 

[Cagey]

Hmm. I would have pegged you for a shrapnel connoisseur...

Aluminum chips are good too!!! :icon_thumright:

 

[Torment Leaves Scars]

Overlooking the paint department to insure all the customers who forked over $1000+ to Warmoth get the quality $245 paint jobs they paid for.

[Tipperman]

The one who builds Jaguars left and right for fun/fixes the headstock to the original pre-CBS Jaguar shape/did I mention making Jaguars left and right?

 

[reluctant-builder]

If by left, you mean for lefties ... you're hired. If not. Well, forget it.

 

[Tipperman]

Both! But I'm big on fixing the normal Jaguar headstock to the large original with the very tight curves. Sexiest headstock/guitar ever. FYI Reluctant, I'm building a Jag now. Just ordered the neck for it (Fatback! Whoo!) I'll post pics when the neck arrives, pre-shipping to Tonar.

 

[reluctant-builder]

Cool! I look forward to seeing the build.

I agree about the headstock. I love the big, curvy ones.

If I could have anyone's job my first choice would be Ken Warmoth's gig.

My first executive order as the owner of Warmoth would be to get everyone crackin on developing a Starcaster!  That would earn me points with the forum.  Then I'd raise prices to support all the gear I'd want to buy....

You know that brings up a job that pretty much every modern business is supposed to have: the future-predicting swami fortuneteller, AKA "marketing researcher." Without even charging Warmoth, I'n going to bring up the very obvious point that with at least a half-dozen reasonably credible companies now making Fenderish solid replacement bodies, it's only a matter of time before some guy with a steampress & a garage full of maple and birch plywood starts banging out Fender-neck-compatible hollow and semi-hollow bodies. Starcaster, Coronado, it doesn't really matter if they change the contours a bit, there's a lot of ways to point the horns a bit more towards a Languedoc or something. The first guy/company in on this makes a killing, with an easy transition towards the $5,000 setneck REAL Languedoc market later.

The designs of Anastasio's Languedoc guitars, inspired in part by the Fender Starcaster, are uniquely conceived and handcrafted instruments that make use of set maple necks with 24-fret ebony fret boards, dual Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 humbuckers

This guy makes some seriously nice guitars.  Too nice for me, however. 

I would like that marketing direction job, but I sure would not like Ken's job.  Waaaaay to much work involved in running a business like that!

Holy mother! No $#!t, way too nice... and to think, some people sneeze out $7,500.

The CNC programmer opening would be fun - if it paid what I make now, and didn't require moving to the other side of the country. I've done it before, just in metal, not wood. Was one of the funner jobs I've ever had. If you have the make gene, it's hard to get it out of your system.

True dat, if you got that gene it is hard to get away from. I love making stuff, always have, wood, metal, plastic.. And I've lived in WA once, don't really care to again... :glasses9:

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

I don't know which job I'd want.  Truth is I'm not capable of doing any of them, which is why I'm a customer instead.  But, if I were trained, CNC programmer/operator would be cool.  The instant gratification of body contours and pickup routes are when a piece of wood starts looking like a guitar/bass body.

If we're talking about doing things we're qualified to do, I'm a cracker-jack web developer.

 

[Alfang]

Mmmmmmm Cracker Jacks....ahhhhhhhh
