You may be a Warmoth addict if.....

"you pray that someone else buys that showcase piece before pay day that way you won't be forced to buy it"

Guilty. At least 3 times a month.

You wonder if there's any shipping cost benefit if you order six necks at once, and you will ask the sales person what's the record for # of necks ordered at once and hope you're it. And if not, you have one or two 'future' plans to help attain the record.

You live in an apartment that's less than 400 sq. ft. and you have 7 Warmoths, 4 other guitars, and 7 bodies that 'need' W necks in it. The '2nd bedroom' is actually a guitar building/maintenance station.

Your boss wonders why a college professor gets a ton of packages from W delivered to the office but none from Amazon.com or other booksellers.
 
Nice wall! Have you post pics of this tele yet? and the first strat coming from left on the bottom roll? :D
 
I disagree, off the shelf is still an option.  :laughing8:
 
Nonsense Tele -

I put a post called Screaming Deal in the Just out of the Box section.

That strat is hollow padouk with a padouk/pau ferro neck, floating floyd rose and a Fernandes sustainer. Although I recently switched it to a Gotoh tremolo and have yet to put new strings on it. But it sings!
 
How 'bout:

You spend so much time reading all the posts your wife thinks you are looking at porn :laughing7:

I forgot this one:

- If it takes you a couple of minutes to realize how disturbing the following sounds in front of coworkers:

"sure, come over to my house on sunday and we'll rub some oil on that body of yours"

and earlier this week:

"I'm really excited about your body, I can't wait to see it"

my reputation at work has gone down the drain... even more


Haha, that's my body he's talkin about.

How do you unsubscribe from "Show new replies to your posts"? :icon_scratch: Boy, if I'd known back then what I know now (grumble grumble grumble....)
 
if you cleaned up your man cave and found a body you bought a couple of months ago that you totally forgot about..

oh and when this is logic to you:
- you find 2 unused humbuckers and a set of black planet wave tuners and decide that is the perfect reason to start a new project.
so you buy a nice poplar soloist for 150 off the showcase. later you order a rosewood neck but by the time it arrives, you have started staining the body and decide that the rosewood neck isn't a good match color wise. so you order another (padouk) neck. a short time later, you realize that you now have a rosewood neck with no body, so you order another body for it. by now, you have screwed up the original poplar body! the only right thing to do, is buy another body for that project..

so there you go.. it started with 2 pickups and a set of tuners and I ended up with 3 bodies and  2 necks.. and none of them completed  :tard: :(


 
 
LOL, guilty....

How about:
You rationalize the purchase of a Warmoth body as an investment strategy (commodity play).
As an extension of this, you really focus on the probability of hyperinflation as further rationalization.
