Will Warmoth rout a tremolo cavity on a pre-prepared Tele bridge body ?

Found some nice looking non-finished Tele bodies but prepared for string-thru Tele bridges. Will Warmoth add some work to rout for a tremolo bridge ?

Never heard of them working with someone else’s wood.  Their  operation is too big.  Do you need a local luthier?

I assume Unwound means he's found them in Warmoth's showcase. AFAIK they won't re-route for a trem in this situation, but it wouldn't hurt to phone or email to make sure.

This is true, index points for CNC machine are gone by that point.

Nope.


Once a body hits the showcase its destiny has already been decided as either hard tail or trem, and can't be changed.

Actually routing a tremolo cavity is not difficult but it's best done by them.  I also like their finishing so I can assure the wood grain pattern of an unfinished body in the Showcase, rout to convert from a hard tail Tele bridge to a tremolo bridge and have it finished in their paint show.  For me this is ideal.

Thanks Aaron for your reply. So I guess not.
