Jim Schmidt<br />Chambered Semi-Hollow body with Stained Flame Maple top over a Mahogany body. Fender pickups and Gold Hardware. She Sings!! JLS Guitars Chuck Dardas<br />This Strat® style guitar was made using 100% Warmoth parts. The body is Black Korina with a AAAA Flame Maple top. It is finished with a Gloss Black back and a Black Dye top. I know by looking through the Warmoth Gallery that a lot of customers like to finish their guitars themselves. But when you can get an absolutely flawless finish for very reasonable money I choose to let the Warmoth Paint Crew work their magic. In my opinion Warmoth results are superior to any major brand custom shop. The neck is all Jet Black Ebony including the fingerboard. It has a Clapton Back Contour, beautiful pearl oval inlay and Stainless Steel Frets. It is unfinished so it is smooth, silky and fast. These electronics are simple (as I prefer) with one Pick-up, one Volume control and one Tone control. The Pick-up is a DiMarzio PAF Pro in Blood Red. The assembly of this instrument was performed at Limelight Music in Rochester Michigan by Bruce. Bruce is one of the best guitarists in the Midwest and a master builder as well. I want to thank Dan Allen and all of the artisans at Warmoth for their meticulous attention to detail. Chuck Dardas, Rochester Michigan Michele Gambirasi<br />Alder body with quilt maple top, birdseye neck with pau ferro fretboard, Callaham bridge, Kinman Woodstock pickups, Planet Waves auto-trim lock tuners. This is a very versatile guitar: noiseless pickups allow either clean or hi-gain sounds, and 10-16 Leonard Cannon<br />This was my first WARMOTH Guitar Build, and I must say your staff was very helpful in making sure, that I had all the hardware to complete my project. Thank you again Spike for all your help. As you can see it came out great. I bought a pearl white Strat® style body, and also bought an American Std Strat® Bridge, and had Warmoth mount the the studs. The neck is Babinga with Ebony in a Warmoth Pro neck, and is smooth as glass. I have all Seymour Duncan P/U's a JBJR in bridge,a Hot Stack for Strat in middle, and A Hot Rails in the neck. 500 Ohm CTS pots,a Coloriffic purple Flamed pickguard that pops with the white pearl, and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners. I also had a Great Luthier from Southington, Ct, at The Music Shop Scott that assembled and setup every thing up for me. I cant thank him enough I look everyday at your page for my next project. Hopefully a Tele® style guitar. Michael Provenzano<br />This is my second Warmoth guitar. # years ago I did a Telecaster® style guitar that is its twin. One Piece swamp ash body, transparent Sunset Orange finish, vintage modern birdseye maple neck with rosewood fretboard, MOP dots, stainless 6105 frets and vintage tint satin finish. It's a hardtail with all gold hardware, and Lindy Fralin Blues Special pickups with a custom 2% overwind. Plays and looks like a dream. Warmoth's quality and craftsmanship is unmatched! Just a superb instrument! I'll be back for another Strat® style guitar really soon! Lyle Bonebrake<br />It has a Hipshot tremolo, Planet Waves locking tuners, Seymour Duncan SSL-4 pickups, yellow and red stain with a brown stain to the grain, and sanded to give it that slight burnt orange tint and the back was a black stain sanded down, and 15 coats of clear lacquer. The body was alder with a quilted maple top, the neck was a pro SRV, maple with a Indian rosewood fret board witch I did in a matching stain and clear coat.I will be back! Charles Pyle<br />Squire Classic Vibe 50s Strat® style guitar. A very surprisingly good guitar on its own, but I put on a Seafoam Green replacement body and replacement 6 hole tremolo and it was AMAZING. Michael Schirp<br />A classic Strat® style guitar with classic mods: black cherry light weight alder, Rosewood Birdseye maple neck (boat) with steel frets. Neck pup Duncan Ant Tx Hot, middle Häussel Desperado ALII bridge Häussel Vin B+. 6,0/6,2/12,0 kohms.Think of a Suhr FL/SSV+-combo with even a little more punch but perfect balance in pos 4 coz one coil of the HB is 6kohms like the desperado. Angled HB started as gimmick but may contribute to trad. Strat®-tone and quack in 4. Maybe And maybe I switch the golden pot-caps against black ones , a little too much Vegas there but otherwise my best Strat® style guitar so far. SSH-coil-split soldered as shown at Acy's Guitar Lounge/AGL. Thx to him and to Warmoth, esp. for the uncomplicated add. routing for the angled HB. Chris Todd<br />A late fifties style guitar with a highly toneful and stunning looking Warmoth alder body finished in sunset orange. The one-piece maple neck was custom made in England in 2003 and is templated after an original '58 neck. The guitar has two 1996 Fender US vintage R/I pickups in the neck and middle positions and a Van Zandt Vintage Plus in the bridge position. Gold hardware by Gotoh. Ty Roberts<br />Warmoth body and neck, Body - Mahogany back w/ Flame Koa top, Neck - Warmoth Pro Rosewood and Birdseye Maple. Pickups: Bridge - Duncan Custom 5, Neck - Hot Rails, plus custom designed Fernandez Sustainer System, Rosewood pickup rings and knobs. Tone - amazing flexibility is sound using a fiveway switch and the sustainer gives unlimited legato lead capability. It's not just pretty, it's a tone giant!

Vintage modern Birdseye Maple/Indian Rosewood fingerboard, 6150 fret wire. Standard American tremolo, Fender locking tuners, Dimarzio Area 61 pickups neck and bridge, Dimarzio Area 67 pickup middle. This guitar sounds very, very good, much better than my 2001 Fender MIM Standard Strat®. The quality of fit/ finish and materials from Warmoth are excellent. First time build, took about 18 hours including tuning, copper shielding, string arc and height, wiring. It came out better than expected. I'm very happy with Warmoth and their products. Probably will build another in the future.

Electronics are a GraphTech Ghost system. Plays and sounds like a dream! Finished in Tru Oil. Ryan Pullin<br />This is my modded Highway One Strat® style guitar. I built this guitar when I was going through a punk rock phase, but this guitar suits all other genres very well. Sorry the picture isn't an amazing quality, but there aren't any distinguishing characteristics about the guitar itself. The body is a flat black Fender Highway One Strat® style body with a vintage synchronized tremolo. Made of alder, it is very light and has an amazing tone to it. The neck is a Warmoth CBS neck. I love this neck. It is unbelievably well crafted and feels so much smoother than the old neck. All maple with black face dot inlays, standard thin profile, white corian nut, compound radius (one of my favorite features), 6130 frets, clear satin nitro finish, Fender/Ping tuners. The pickguard I also ordered from Warmoth. It is a single humbucker with a single volume. The volume has a D-Long drilled placement. Very good quality pickguard. Perfectly cut and drilled when I got it. I have a single Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge. Contrary to popular belief, this pickup is very versatile. It has a very beefy tone with plenty of output. It doesn't have the greatest clean tone but a good tone, nonetheless. I love how the alder and maple alter the sound of the pickup also. On a clean tone, the pickup has somewhat of a twang to it and that is the same for lightly distorted channels. But when I turn on the heavy distortion, this pickup can crunch out some serious metal riffs. This is my favorite guitar out of my collection. I want to sincerely thank Warmoth for the craftsmanship put into both the neck and the pickguard. I will definitely be coming back soon for some more parts. Welling Tom<br />My favorite guitar, the one that does it all, with the perfect feel, resonance and sustain! Quacks like a duck, sings or growls like a Gibson, twangs like a Tele® style guitar, jangles like a Ric. From Warmoth: solid alder body, bird's eye maple/fatback/CBS-head/vintage-modern neck with Indian rosewood fretboard, SS6100 frets, and abalone dots, Wilkinson trem, Schaller locking tuners, and custom vintage 8-hole pickuard. Duncan '59 at neck, Fender TexMex at middle, and Dimarzio AirZone at bridge. Push-pull volume pot links bridge and neck pickups, and connects all 3 when pickup selector is in #2 or #4 positions. Mini toggles are independent coil taps. Humbuckers are out-of-phase for that Chris Paga <br />It only took about 20 years to finally get around to building a Warmoth Strat® style guitar. Now I wish I would've done this sooner. Body - Alder with Flame Maple top, DiMarzio Cruisers mid & neck position, Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck in the bridge, Wilkinson VSVG tremolo (best 6 screw strat® replacement yet). Neck - Birdseye maple, 10-16 compound radius, standard thin, 24 3/4 conversion Pro with stainless steel 6100 fretwire, Sperzel locking tuners, Earvana compensated nut (1 11/16 width). Finished with what I thought was to be Guitar ReRanch clear satin nitro, but I like the look of it nonetheless. steve Millemaci<br />Here's my burst to candy blue with reversed headstock and all vintage style gold hardware. I have a Duncan JB in the bridge position and the singles I pulled out of a custom ESP once owned by Michael Wilton. The neck and body were from the showcase section. Thanks Warmoth.

Giorgio Pesciallo<br />My first Warmoth project Maple neck, Alder body, Seymour Duncan PU (Bridge:Hot Rails, Middle: Vintage Rails; Neck: Cool rails), Wilkinson bridge, Sperzel locking tuners Alan Day<br />My 5th build and my second Warmoth. This Strat® style guitar was first built in Photoshop. This is phase 1 of that build but has come out sooo goood that it just may stay as it is. Specs: 1 Piece Alder Tobacco Burst body. Unfinished Padouk neck with Ebony Fingerboard. Gold (colored) Frets. Vintage Pearl Pickgaurd and matching Spring cover (on back) All hardware is from Warmoth except the Knobs (Q-parts Gold Domes with Bone inset) and the electrics (bought locally). The Lace Sensor Pups came off my 18 year old Strat® Plus and deliver a MUCH better sound from this guitar. The Sustain is literally unbelievable for a guitar with a tremolo bridge (Gotoh Wilkinnson) and the TONE IS AWESOME! The Earvana nut was pre-installed by Warmoth and is a made from Black TUSQ XL. Look closely at the insert pic. The offset nut works and my Ryan Rouse<br />This is the best sounding and playing Strat® style guitar I have ever played. Specs: One-Piece Swamp Ash Body Cherry Burst Finish Ebony/Canary Neck Lollar Blonde/Blonde/Special Pickup set Size 11 strings Mike Mizell<br />I finally got her all together and I’m still just reeling over the results. She looks beautiful, plays incredibly, and sounds exquisite. I was absolutely shocked at how low and smooth I could set the action up on this guitar having done nothing to the neck and body that came from your shop (no additional neck or fret finishing was required). This was a breeze to put together and setup, and overall a very rewarding/enjoyable project. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and could be happier with my purchases and your services. I’ve got a neck currently on order with you as well for a project David Gilmour EMG strat. Can’t wait to get that together too! 100% Warmoth – Body & Neck. Body is chambered mahogany with a black korina top in the dragon finish. The neck is Goncalo Alves with a Pau Ferro fingerboard in the raw (unfinished). Frets are stainless 6105’s with a Black Tusq Earvana nut and locking tuners. The bridge is a Wilkinson VS with a custom brass sustain block. The pickups are Lindy Fralin Split Blades (noiseless) with a flat stagger Blues wind. The electronics feature a TBX tone circuit (w/ an orange drop capacitor - .033uF and “Doc’s Mod”) wired to the middle and bridge pickups. Middle tone control has a Jupiter PIO tone capacitor (.05uf) for the neck. Standard five-way switching but with an additional David Gilmour style hidden switch to engage the neck pickup. I get unbelievable tonal combinations and options with this setup. This baby sustains for days, oozes tone, and plays like a dream. THANK YOU WARMOTH!!

I have a vintage white Warmoth Strat® style body with gold harware and a white pearloid pickguard. I tried to make my version of Jimi's Woodstock Strat® and the Steve Vai's Jem. The pickup configuration that I have is: a DiMarzio Area '67 (neck); a DiMarzio True Velvet (middle); and a DiMarzio Evo2 (bridge). Assembled by Andy Rothstein. The neck has scallopped frets from 15 on up. That was done by shred extraordinaire, Dean Cascione. This baby really screams! I call it the Evo Chile. Elsworth Smith<br />This is the Cosmic Fire. I have a Warmoth Strat®-style body in a cherry sunburst finish. The neck is Mighty Mite with rosewood fingerboard. The frets are scallopped from the 15th on up.

I then painted it with the Eddie like strips not a replica of his but they do have many similarities. Then I put the Paul Gilberts in and decided to throw in a cheap sx humbucker i had lying around, I then did the inlays which are lighter burns with a nitro finish over the fretboard,then added reflectors and a kill switch and blocked-off the bridge,and put some flashing LEDs in the pickup cavitys then beat up the finish a little bit for a more raw feel and for a little Jimi flair, I added a braided string to the headstock Anthony Farrish<br />This is my first Warmoth. One Piece Mahogany w/ Quilted Maple Dragon Burst top Black Back Strat® style body, Tummy, Forearm, Heel Contours, Chrome Schaller Floyd and Chrome Hardware. Standard Thin Neck in Maple w/ Ebony Fretboard and 24 Stainless Jumbo Frets w/ Abalone Dot Inlays. Bill Lawrence L 500 XL and Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates! This thing BURNS!!! John Leek<br />This is my first attempt at building a guitar. Not sure if I can name names here so I wont. Probably don't need to explain what I was trying to achieve here anyway. The body is Ash and I bought it unfinished. I had to slightly modify the bridge routing a little to angle the pickup, which is mounted directly to the body, then I custom painted it myself using lacquer paint from the hardware store. It has a chrome vintage 6 hole tremolo and a custom pickguard that I bought blank and then routed holes for just the bridge pickup and one volume control. It has a Golden Age pickup that is wax potted and wound to 9k ohms and custom fitted with an Alnico 2 magnet. The neck and fretboard are unfinished Birdseye maple with black dot inlays, stainless steel frets, graphite nut (I know it's supposed to be brass but I was hoping to reduce tuning headaches, and it does), and chrome schaller mini tuners. I oil the neck regularly with mineral oil, so far so good. It's smooth, fast and I have to say this is my favorite sounding guitar and it's my cheapest by far. bernardo rodriguez<br />My version of a Custom Strat® style guitar; light swamp ash body, AAAA Flame maple neck, with Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, Mother of Pearl dot fret markers, Fralin neck & middle pickups, DiMarzio Air Norton bridge humbucking, locking tuners, & 7 position wiring.

All gold hardware. Low action, plays like a dream and sounds awesome. frank verrilli<br />Here is one of my hand carved models (jimi would have liked this one). Dan Hall<br />The goal was a Strat® style guitar with a Gibson'ish sound, tones, etc. So, the body and neck are both mahogany, the pups are Gibson 490R/498T, three-way switch set up like a Tele® with 2 volume pots and one tone pot. The neck wasn't ordered with the milling for a locking nut, but the body was (mid-stream design change!) so we had to get the neck milled. The Original Floyd Rose works great. My son picked the components and colors, and we built it together. Of course I'm biased, but I think it looks really nice. Warmoth did the body finish and we did the neck with Tru-Oil. I REALLY like the way the neck came out. That's about it! G. Ian Dow<br />Billy Corgan Replica Body:1-piece Alder, Chambered, Maple top Neck: Maple w/ Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard Bridge: Fender Hardtail Pickups: Dimarzio BC-1(neck), Dimarzio Chopper(middle), Dimarzio BC-2(bridge) Here is my Billy Corgan replica. I wanted a real one but didn't want to pay $1400 for it. So, I built this Warmoth. And $1500 bucks later, I saved a bundle!!!!lol Well, it's alright cause this guitar rocks! It sounds just like the real one but looks cooler and is nicer. If you want to send me a fawning e-mail you may: hydrationlevel4@hotmail.com Greg Koher<br />A home-made Fankenstrat Guitar I made from an Ash Stratocaster® style body and a Maple KWS neck. It has chrome hardware, an original Floyd Rose Tremolo, a Seymour Duncan SH-5 humbucker, and Schaller tuners. The paint job may not be exact, but I love this guitar. Warmoth does amazing work. Greg Stringer<br />My first Warmoth build. Poplar Strat® style guitar body with Explorer birdseye maple neck and rosewood fingerboard; Seymour Duncan JB Jr. in the bridge and Hot Rails in neck and middle; Schaller mini-locking tuners; Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo with lock nut; painted Porsche red. All parts purchased from Warmoth. Everyone who has played it comments on how nice the Warmoth neck is. Jonathan Davison<br />This is my awesome Swamp Ash with Tiger Eye High Grade Quilted Maple Top Strat® style guitar. It has a solid Ebony neck with gold frets and a Tusq XL nut. Gold sperzels and a Wilkinson VS401 Trem system. Seymour Duncan APS-1 single coils and an IronGear Jailhouse Rails humbucker running through 250k CTS pots. This is an awesome guitar and after some trepidation regarding the neck wood, i found that everyone who was casting aspersions on the all ebony choice was talking from no experience as it is phenomenal. It is weighty, which gives the Strat® style guitar a more solid, expensive feel. Feels like butter to touch, the Warmoth fret work being amazing custom shop quality. The Irongear pickup is brilliant for a third of the price of a mainstream brand. All in all a sustaining, toneful, bright and glassy Strat® style guitar that can rock with fantastic tuning. Well done Warmoth, I'll be back! Ely Joseph<br />A Strat® style guitar I built for my Friend/client, E. Hass completed Jan 2009. Body wood Hollow swamp ash and quilt maple top - Red Dye finish.

The guitar body is a Warmoth Alder 2 piece body with an original Clapton Fender neck on it, which I borrowed off my Clapton Strat®. It has Lace sensor pups with Clapton preamp installed. The guitar has great tone and sustain. Thanks again to the guys at Warmoth for a great product. Cullen Chen<br />This is my very first build. It features a swamp ash body and a very nice quilted maple top, considering that it isn't a Rick Wilson<br />Chambered mahogany with quilt top. Black dye. Bridge is hand carved ebony. One vol/tone knob, stock Gibson P-90. For smooth jazz; ebony bridge makes warmer and softer attack, tone wise. But it can scream too, when I push my Dr.Z!!

Ric Golemon<br />Semi-Hollow Black Korina body with a quilted maple top finished in blue. Maple neck, WCR pickups and Callaham tremolo complete the package.

Had to set it up right away: Rio Grande BBQ bridge,Duesenberg Little Toaster middle, DiMarzio PAF (´76!) neck; Sperzel locking tuners; neck was a leftover from a Line6 guitar (that I did with one of your bodies , right when you started to offer this option....;-) I had a little Hula girl inlaid in the headstock... ;-) Thanks a lot for one more beautiful guitar!

Graphtech Tremnut. Gotoh Wilkinson Bridge. Guglielmo Franco<br />This is THE BEAST! It has to be the meatiest, most muscular sounding guitar I've ever played. No finish on her except some tung oil to keep the pores sealed. She just loves to vibrate musically! I had to quickly build her for a gig over seas where I wanted a guitar that would be checked and I wouldn't be heart-broken if baggage handlers destroyed her (that sentiment has changed, let me tell you!). I called you guys and ordered the body and neck from the your special deals - I believe they cost $250 for both (HUGE bargain!). I got all the hardware from you as well - original Floyd, gotoh tuners, pickguard, knobs, CTS & Switchcraft switches and pots. She's loaded with DiMarzio ups. Thanks again, Warmoth! You folks never disappoint. This one goes to show that even though Warmoth may be blowing out a couple pieces, it doesn't mean we're not still getting a phenomenally musical guitar. Peace. Guglielmo Franco<br />Everyone calls this one Guglielmo Franco<br />This is my baby - played on every gig for 24 years! My first Warmoth project. The body is a very light Swamp Ash that I bought from a friend for $30 in 1985. After many years and gigs it's been determined that it may be from the days when Ken & Wayne Charvel did some work together - I'm definitely the lucky guy! The neck is all maple that I traded for (I had a previous Warmoth neck - nothing beats your stability guys!). The neck was a little fat for me so I shaped it myself and it fits me perfectly. All chrome hardware: Schaller minis, original floyd from 1984 (with an updated arm), Duncan pups. The guitar was refurbished 2 years ago after so much use. I refinished her, and kept the Italian theme (my friends dubbed her the Dagocaster and it stuck). I have the flag for the region of Campagna, Italy where my father and I are from, and the back is the national Italian flag. Thanks for all the fantastic memories I've had with this thing! If you folks hadn't made 'em, and wouldn't be lucky enough to play 'em! Lew Petryk<br />Warmoth body, quilt maple on swamp ash, natural masked, black dye finish with black gloss back finish, and contoured heel. Warmoth pro Strat® style neck, birdseye maple/birdseye maple, black face dots inlays, Graph Tech 1 11/16 Phil Jelks<br />This looks like a normal Strat® style guitar except for the two humbuckers. They are Lace dually's, Gold/Gold neck, Red/Red bridge. Both are tapped for single coil as well as humbucker. I also had a six position varitone put in as well. I'm a tone freak. My tech, that did the wiring, says it's the first Strat® style instrument he has ever heard sound like a Strat®, Tele®, Gretsch, Les Paul, 335, Jaguar and several other guitars. Neck is maple with Zircote finger board. The body is Quilt maple over Swamp Ash. Every time I open the case, people are picking their jaws up from the ground, the axe is so awesome. I even had requests from folks to build one for them. Thanks to the Warmoth guys, they make the most incredible product ever. A factory custom job like this quoted from a major manufacturer was two year waiting period and about $5000.00. This was one fifth! Thanks Warmoth!!! You rock!! Cody Harvath<br />Chambered Swamp Ash body, Quilted Maple top, AAA Birdseye Maple neck, Tiger's eye finish. Nice light weight player!Fralin singles and a Tone Zone make for my preferred combination!! Adam Johnson<br />This is my third Warmoth guitar, but this Tiger is my first project where I did the paint, wiring and assembly from start to finish. The poplar Strat® style body came out of the in stock Showcase and I used an existing maple/ebony Warmoth neck that I had on hand. The Duncan SH-12 Screamin' Demon humbucker and fixed bridge make for a great rock and metal combo that also give me alot of variety in tone choices. willie vega<br />My Warmoth Strat® style.

A simply spectacular Warmoth Strat® Style alder body topped with one of the nicest figured spalt maple tops I have ever seen. I think I can safely call this top an 11! Neck is a Fender American Deluxe, black headstock and LSR roller nut. Pups are Duncan, and the big surprise here, a Graphtech Ghost System Hexpander with 13 pin out for midi/synth applications. Controls are volume, tone is supplied from an EMG EXG circuit, and bottom tone knob is actually the Hexpander volume out. Black switch is coil tap, and other two switches are for the Hexpander, one for choosing synth, mag pups, or both, and a momentary for moving between patches of the synth. This by far has been my most gratifying build... you could say I'm as happy as a pig in, well, you know what. Thanks Warmoth for such outstanding quality. Andy McCrory<br />This was my first Warmoth build. The graphic was designed in Photoshop and printed at a local vehicle graphic shop. It was printed on a vinyl 3M sticker and laminated.

Neck is a Warmoth neck, made of purpleheart, with an ebony fretboard, abalone inlays,and a white corian nut. the tuners i cant remember what they are. The pickguard was made by myself from purpleheart wood, and all pickups can be turned on or off with a toggle switch, for any variation desired. Humbucker Pickups are Lace drop and gain pickups. Middle single coil was whatever the charvel had, with a new 'chrome' cover. Each humbucker has a 3 way selector toggle for coil spliting, too. pots are 1meg pots from torres engineering.

Then sprayed with Guitar ReRanch Orange, and about 12 coats of clear nitro. Hard Tail with Fender Custom Shop 69s. Sperzel Tuners, and it sounds as great as it looks. Tim Farnsworth<br /> Wayne Langford<br />This was a showcase body. It's mahogany with a lovely blue finish. The neck is a Warmoth, one piece birdseye maple that I pulled off another body. It's got a Wilkinson vibrato and a Dimarzio Fred in the bridge, Seymour Duncan '57 junior in the middle and a Gibson '57 classic at the neck (flipped ala Peter Green). It's a very resonant and non-stratty sounding Strat® style guitar. It's warm and creamy and never shrill. Wayne Langford<br />This is actually a very old build. It's been my main live guitar for the last fifteen years. It's a swamp ash/maple body with a birdseye maple/ebony neck. (Don't tell Warmoth but I steel wooled the finish off the back of the neck over ten years ago.) It's outfitted with a Floyd Rose and EMGs. This neck is on its second set of frets.

Eric Townsend<br />Bought used in '83, an Ibanez '71 ('72?) slab-body protoype for their Roadstar 1 -- my first guitar -- played the heck out of it on and off for 20 years until the neck and frets gave out and I'd shifted to liking a slightly wider nut. I probably should've left it stock, but had a make-over planned for my first baby...fully re-sculpted, rebuilt, customized -- and 'given back' to Fender (dig the P-Bassish swoop to the pickguard).

Pau Ferro neck and fingerboard - very smooth, and beautiful to play. I decided to go for the gold frets to match the rest of the gold hardware. I was worried they may be a bit too much, but they turned out just right. Fitted with Fender Custom Shop '69 pickups in the neck and middle, with a Seymour Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge. A really great sounding guitar. Alawn Koh<br />Here's my second Warmoth build. Both body and neck are showcase pieces. Looks and sounds great! Thumbs up to the good folks at Warmoth!

I recommend Warmoth to anyone in the market for a guitar. The craftsmanship is superb, and coupling that with the options to build your guitar exactly the way you want it is a win/win situation. Christian Karl<br />Started as a restoration project but after receiving that great canary/ziricote neck I knew I had to build a total new one. So here it is: chambered walnut on walnut body, canary/ziricote Warmoth pro Strat® style neck, Wilkinson trem, Schaller locking mechs, Seymoures SH4 and self-made single coils. Sound is superb!!! Though the exotic wood sounds like a Strat® style guitar should! I really like that chambered body! I'm absolute convinced of the quality of Warmoth! Mike Ronaldson<br />I worked at Warmoth for awhile and swear by their parts. I worked on the neck crew and the master craftsmen has been there along time and is at the top of his game. This is a lightweight alder body with birdseye maple neck and an awesome handpicked Brazilian rosewood board. All parts are from Warmoth. This guitar has the most amazing tone, I have been playing for 30 yrs and building for 7 and this guitar is insane. The trees used for this one were as good as they get. Thanks Kevin and Boun and all involved. Omar Sostre<br />Custom Strat® style guitar using 99.9% Warmoth parts.Burl maple on Alder/All Bocote neck. Original Floyd Rose,Gotoh tuners,Seymour Duncan Alternative 8 Trembucker.This is my first dream guitar and a second one is on the way. Warmoth quality and service is second to none!!! Rick Mariner<br />Hey Gregg, This Guitar is a result of some inbreeding which is legal in South Carolina! New from Haywire Custom Guitars is Haywire Stratotelia. This guitar combines some of the best elements of a Strat® style guitar and a Telecaster® style guitar with one additional feature that neither one of them can achieve without major neck or body modifications _______________________ * The Solid Tele® bridge creates lots of sustain * Note individual saddles verses standard 2 string per saddle Tele® bridge making setting intonation more exact *String through body feature enables even more sustain *Active EMG pick ups are noiseless, internally grounded and each pick up has it's own pre-amp to boost the signal before reaching the amp producing even more sustain *5-way switching *Can be ordered with either a Strat® style guitar neck or Tele® style guitar neck *The bridge pick up includes a tone control normally absent in a standard Strat® style guitar configuration *One feature particular to this Stratotelia guitar model ONLY is the ability to accomodate either 25-1/2 Nick Brunner<br />I would like to thank the staff at Warmoth for all of their help! I got everything from Warmoth except for the pickups. The body is from the showcase. It's specs are as follows: Chambered mahogany back in candy tangerine Quilted maple top in tequila sunrise H-S-H pickup configuration Schaller Floyd Rose trem EMG 81-TW in the bridge, SA in the middle, and an 89 in the neck And for the neck: Bubinga with a pau ferro fret board Stainless steel frets Reverse Warmoth headstock Locking Floyd nut and locking Schaller mini-tuners It plays like a dream! Such bell-like tones when clean, and just a monster with some heavy distortion. I couldn't be happier! This will not be my last Warmoth project... Al Slamecka<br />My first Warmoth build... a showcase blue burst with natural binding flame maple/swamp ash Strat® style guitar body and showcase birdseye neck with Abalone dot inlays. Truly a tone machine with fantastic Seymour Duncan P-Rail humbuckers sandwiching a Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro II single rail. Gotoh vintage tuners, Duncan straplock, and Wilkinson tremolo finish off a really nice package. I installed two SPDT switches per P-Rail which switch between the P-Rail P90 and single coil in both series and parallel configurations. The 5way switch is wired to select the humbuckers in series, parallel, out of phase, as well as individually. They are controlled by a master volume and tone control excellent knobs from Carvin and the lower volume control blends in the Alnico II single rail. This control also features the NTune on-board tuner. The variety of quality sounds is amazing.. and for good measure I installed Graphtech Piezo saddles and midi kit so the guitar is midi capable as well. It was a challenging project but well worth it. My next build will be a beautiful mahogany SG! Can't wait... Stephen Lawler<br />Surf Green Strat® Style Guitar with Slab Rosewod neck, Joe Barden's S-deluxe. Ganthet Beck<br />Alder body with quilt maple top with gold hardware and Seymour Duncan Pickups Mike Ronaldson<br />I worked at Warmoth for a couple of years and I swear by the craftsmanship and tone of these parts. This is a alder body finished in nitro. With a wild flame top. The neck is birdseye maple with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard that I made while I worked there on the neck crew. The tone is amazing and the neck fits perfect. I love this and plan on adding another to my Warmoth lineup. Todd Granacki<br />This is my second Warmoth project. I play in several cover bands and decided to construct one rugged, good sounding dependable guitar to cover all forms of music. Went with Strat® style guitar, installed single coil aperture sized Duncan humbuckers...59 neck, Duckbucker middle and JB bridge. Good pickups. Finished in oil because a working guitar gets beat up and with oil you just wipe oil over scratches...and good to go. Schaller made Floyd trem stays in perfect tune, QParts knobs with matching green Fender MOTO pickguard. All stainless steel screws no more rusty chrome screws. Big Dunlop frets. A heavy guitar compared to normal Strat® style guitar, sounds full, plays perfectly. I like the dark brown and green colors, pleasing to the eye. Setup by Grant Guitars in Fountain Valley. Veteran of many a show, never failed me. BTW: Warmoth staff excellent to work with. Ron Costa<br />This is my 2nd project. This guitar is one of the greatest playing and sounding guitars I have heard in a short time, LOL, even better then the first one. This guitar has an Alder body Flame Maple top, contoured heel, comfort contours. Warmoth Pro style standard thin Birdseye maple neck, highest level maple necks IMO, with custom head stock. This Guitar has a Floyd Rose Original tremolo, With Titanium String Lock Blocks!, 37mm Brass Sustain Block , Sperzel locking tuners and it has a Tremolo no system. One of the coolest things on this guitar is custom shop neck plates from my buddy DangerousR6. You can get them as well in the forums, here http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic2754.0.

Easily the nicest Strat® style guitar I've ever played. Classic tone and super solid! Wayne Powell<br />This is the 4th guitar i have now built using all Warmoth products. Keep it up guys, great stuff. This Strat® Style Guitar is white with red and blue pearl over the top. The body is mahogany, the neck is birdseye maple, pickups are Lace Sensor with Clapton preamp and gold hardware. As you can see the pearl colors look great and changes depending on the angle of view. Has an awesome tone and thanks guys for giving me such a great neck and body to work with. Dan Lorey<br />This guitar has a Warmoth 2 piece walnut body. It has 2 coats of Benjamin Moore stain to pop the grain. I used no grain filler. Instead, I used 22 coats of nitro to allow the grain to really show its depth. It has DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups, Steinberger locking gearless tuners and a Wilkinson Gotoh tremolo. It has a Fender maple neck that has been refretted with stainless steel. The toggle switch near the volume knob allows for manual activation of the bridge pickup while in positions 5 and 4 on the 5 position switch. This can give you all 3 pickups together or bridge and neck together, for a total of 7 positions. The tone of this guitar is amazingly clean and warm. I always wanted a walnut Strat® style guitar. I have 4 Strat® style guitars, but this one is the prettiest of the bunch. Hitoshi Akiyama<br />Hello Warmoth,<br> <br> I'm Warmoth fan of Japan.This is my first Warmoth guitar product.<br> <br> Body: Frame Maple on Swamp Ash<br> Neck: Birds eye Maple<br> Pickup: Seymour Duncan TB59<br> Bridge: Floyd Rose<br> <br> This guitar's sound is so nice to play early Van Halen's tunes. Alistair Martin<br />Not an exact replica of a Gilmour but its got the vibe. Kinman Woodstock Plus pickups which are so good. I'm never buying any other brand. Its got the K9 harness so the neck pup can be used irrespective of the switch position.<br> Rest of the guitar is stock Warmoth including a lovely flame pro neck. Loving this one a lot. Jonathan Bozeman<br />Walnut semi-hollow body with f-hole, Birdseye maple neck with abalone inlays. The pickups are Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials. This guitar is awesome, thanks Warmoth Joe Dunegan<br />This was my first build. I was inspired by Reb Beach's Suhr guitar for it's beautiful wood grain. I always wanted a Strat® style guitar but instead of buying a generic Fender, I decided to build one according to my needs and specs. Keelan Taylor<br />Walnut body with heel contour. I put 2 coats of danish oil on it and four coats of williamsville wax on it, I then sanded it with about 1500 grit sandpaper, and then with a crocus cloth. The neck is Indian rosewood with SRV back contour, and the fretboard is Brazilian rosewood with jumbo frets and 9 1/2 radius. The neck has only one coat of wax on it. I didn't touch the fretboard. I then rubbed it with a very fine sandpaper with the grain, and then with a crocus cloth. It has schaller locking tuning pegs, and schaller strap locks. It also has a standard Fender trem, Fender Texas Custom special pickups, and nonlinear pots. It still needs a plate for the switch. I love this guitar! It has a warm dark tone, yet balanced tone. It's not too mellow. Warmoth really puts a lot of craftsmanship into their guitars. Better than what you would find at your average music store. This is my first build. Thanks Again George Adams<br />One piece Alder,walnut stain,'59 round back with rosewood fretboard,1 3/4 nut,stainless steel jumbo frets. Fender noiseless pups.Bought most of it through Warmoth and Tim of Guitar Castle here in Salem put it together for me.Had a little trouble getting the body and neck to fit but it turned out great and I'm really happy with it.Also have a '57 reissue with a 20 year old maple warmoth neck,another nice ax.

The neck has a very comfortable compound radius maple with rosewood fingerboard. The body is alder laminated with flame maple. I stained and clear-coated it. I put a DiMarzio Fred in the neck position and a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge position. The guitar has a Floyd Rose bridge and I drilled the pot holes and put in a Gibson style 3 position pickup switch. It still plays great. Zack Matzanias<br />This is my first Warmoth project. It has an alder body, unfinished maple neck with 6105 frets, Seymour Duncan JB and Alnico II pickups, original Floyd Rose and Schaller locking tuners. Dave Campbell<br />Satine neck with Kingwood fretboard mounted on a swamp ash body. Features a Wilkinson trem, Sperzel lockers, and a set of Alumatones. Has an incredible mid range and lower end!

NJ area luthier set up this project for consistency of sound and feel. <br> This guitar is one of the greatest playing and sounding guitars I have heard in a long time, you could imagine.

My name is Andrew Roudny and I'm the lead guitarist in a Toronto based hard rock band called The Ryde. We've just finished recording our new CD called Take Aim. The guitar I'm submitting here is the one used for most of this CD. Hear some of the songs at our myspace page:<br> http://www.myspace.com/therydeband<br> <br> This guitar is called The Mummy because of how the white decal wraps around the back of the guitar. This is probably the 4th or fifth guitar I've made, and it's the one that sounds best, and feels the most comfortable to play. It's made with a Warmoth 1 piece alder body with no tummy cut, routed for a Floyd Rose trem. The neck is a Warmoth 22 fret maple back with a maple fingerboard, jumbo frets, CBS headstock and Wizard back profile. It's routed for rearloaded pickups as well I'm using two Seymour Duncan BlackBacks mounted on black metal mounting rings. <br> <br> The paint job is actually a decal that I designed myself and had printed at a local sign shop. It's a thin vinyl decal usually used for car graphics. The design features lyrics from Hot For Teacher and Girl Gone Bad, two of my favorite Van Halen songs. I expected the decal to last about 3 or 4 weeks before it started peeling off or ripping. But it's been over a year now and it's still hangin in there!<br> <br> Cheers! Enjoy The Ryde!!<br> http://www.myspace.com/therydeband Joel Meredith<br />Here's my Les Paul Strat® crossover style guitar. I always wanted a Strat® style guitar that sounded like a Les Paul, just because I prefer the shape and weight of Strat® styled guitars. Now I've made my own. This one has a routed Mahogany Body with a matchbook Zebra wood top finished in gun oil. The neck is unfinished Howling Wenge which was a risky choice, but has tuned out fantastic! Really fast and comfortable, with that nice chocolaty color too. I've got Planet Waves locking tuners with a roler bridge and a Wilkinson trem. It stays in tune well despite constant pounding. The pickups are BurstBuckers off an old Les Paul. They're simply wired up to a Tele three way selector with a tone knob each. the pickup/neck/routed body combination makes for a surprisingly versatile sound and loads of sustain. Grand! If I make another one I'll definitely go for a back routed body. It's a shame to cover all that grain with a pick guard. greg brower<br />Boatneck with Brazilian fretboard, SRV body, trem, Duncan Hot rails, Vintage rails, & Cool rails. The neck makes this guitar!! I put this guitar together in memory of my Grandpa, on the neckplate I have his initials ELB and his nickname Curly. I call this guitar Curly. Bernardo Rodriguez<br />This is my 1st Warmoth guitar. It's a Strat® style guitar with a Les Paul type configuration. Flame Maple on Mahogany, Rear Routed, S X S X S Pickup Routing. I'm using a Seymour Duncan SSl7, American Fender Tremolo Routing, Side Jack, Heel Contour, Tigers Eye Dye top with Clear Gloss back finish, Weight: ~3 lbs, 7 oz. The neck is a 24 3/4 conversion mahogany, with Indian Rosewood fretboard. This guitar is extremely light and resonant. I think next I'll go with the jumbo SS frets instead of the 6150's. A Tele® style guitar is next in line! Tim Sullivan<br />2007 Fender American Highway 1, Wine Transparent. Finish removed and redone in Shoreline Gold Nitro Paint & Clear Topcoat. Pickups replaced with Custom Shop Texas Specials. Neck replaced with 2004 Fender American Deluxe Neck. Pickguard and Tremolo Cover replaced with Warmouth Vintage Pearl.

Currently has SD JB and Jazz pickups, both tapped for series/parallel on the volume/tone knobs. Currently has a 24 3/4 conversion neck on it, although it has it's own Warmoth style neck with matching Emerald Green headstock in standard Strat® style guitar scale.

American Series pickups in a parchment guard with antique covers and knobs. Light, resonant and great tone plugged in! Leaning against my new Trutone Custom 210 amp built with a Peavey Classic 50 head. Matt Dutt<br />This guitar is called the green machine. This is a Strat® style guitar that i got completely from Warmoth with the exception of the neck. The neck is a fender Strat® neck, but i got everything else from Warmoth. Victor Lupo<br />Hi Spike and all at Warmoth, This guitar is tremendous!!! It has the playability and the tone of Guitars worth $6,000.00 or more. I am so happy, you guys at Warmoth Rock!!!!. I can't wait till my next one.<br> <br> Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!!!!! Victor Lupo Lance Delo<br />Warmoth padouk body and quartersawn maple neck with kingwood fretboard.<br> <br> The neck and body were sanded down to the 0000 steel wool stage after raising the grain. The neck was dyed with a custom mixed alcohol based anyline dye, then the body and neck had ten coats of hand-rubbed satin finish applied. <br> <br> Hardware etc includes Warmoth pickguard, Wilkonson trem, Gotoh vintage-style locking tuners, complete body and pg copperfoil shielding, blender wiring, and a set of Rio Grande Dual Cal SCs.<br> <br> The guitar was run through Mike Lulls shop for final assembly, Plekking, and having the Buzz Feitien system applied.<br> <br> It is setup for and has 1254s on it. The jury is still out on the Rio Grandes and the 1254s, but no matter how it finally ends up this thing promises to be a tone monster! Matthew DeOrazio<br />Goldtop S type. Mahogany body & neck w/ebony board. Rio Grande, Dual Calibrated Set P'ups righteous!, Schaller vintage locking tuners, American Re-Issue bridge/trem assembly.

Fender hot noiseless pickups set in a pearloid solid pickguard. <br> What started out to be a simple drop-in DGEMG pickup system into a Mexican Strat® evolved into a creative hobby for my husband and I. Yet another enjoyable hobby besides playing guitars together now, we are also creating guitars together. The original plan was to create a Mary Kay look-a-like. Well needless to say, this took a 180 degree turn and became an ~Ena Original, in which we are very proud of and would like to share. Out of the 22 guitars in our collection, this guitar has the sonic character of a vintage guitar, but is also screams class and authenticity in it's beauty and has equally more warmth and depth in sound. Victor Guerriero<br />Here is my Warmoth project number two:<br> <br> Alder chambered body<br> Rosewood neck, standard thin<br> Bill Lawrence L200<br> Hardtail bridge<br> Telecaster control routing with additional knob.<br> <br> There was a lot of debate before building this guitar between getting a Strat® style guitar or a Nashville special tele® style guitar. Therefore, this is my Nashville special Strat® style guitar. I find this is a loud instrument and like my other Warmoth guitar sustains for days. I finally have a Strat® style guitar that sounds like one and the hardtail gives me that extra bit in the sound that I was looking for. The finish is fantastic.<br> <br> Once again Spike was of great help on this project. Now, onto building guitar number three. Mike Neal<br />Bengal Strat.<br> Bengal burst swamp ash body. Birdseye maple neck. Gold hardware. Lindy Fralin Blues Specials pickups. Brian Eckels<br />My latest Warmoth built is a hollow mahogany Strat body painted overall in goldtop gold. The pickups are Seymour Duncan SH1 in the neck and middle, and an TB4 near the bridge. The bridge is a Wilkinson VS100. Each gold knob sits on a push-push pot that splits the coil of each pickup. The mini-switch runs the bridge pickup hot.<br> The neck is birdseye maple, fully scallopped, sporting Sperzels. Malcolm Connell<br />My guitar buddies think I have a screw loose with my idea of what constitutes cool color combinations but I love this sucker. I've fitted it with the DG20 Dave Gilmour pickups and it can be a snarling dog from hell or as sweet as the summer sun. Remarkably diverse tonal palette on this thing. Huge thanks to Annie and all the cool crew at Warmoth for everything. Malcolm Connell<br />You either love this one or hate it but to me, it looks as cool as it sounds with a set of Clapton Lace Sensors. Together with the Pau Ferro neck this sweetheart has an extremely middy and warm tone. I had a friend Karl Redlich made a route at the back to accept the Clapton TBX circuit Board. The scratchplate is courtesy of Roger at Terrapin/Artisan Guitars. Geno Becker<br />Warmoth body in desert sunset finish with a Warmoth neck with stainless steel 6100 fret wire. Pickups are Rumpelstiltskin custom wounds that's a Tele pickup in the bridge position. Vibrato is a Wilkinson. The tone control pulls out to activate the bridge pickup in all switch positions. This is my number one gigging guitar. Leif Robertson<br />Naturally Faded 87 62 ri body white faded to a cream added Warmoth total vintage neck with Indian rosewood fret board, fralin pickups with a 10 way mod.

Owen Lease<br />Rosewood neck with an Ebony board and Walnut body with the Pao Ferro top. <br> Did not know what to expect, soundwise from this combination of woods but I am just blown away. It has real power behind every note, even up high has amazing body and tone, but perfectly dynamic and articulate with masses of sustain and depth. I am in heaven! <br> Fender CS Fat50's, 1 master tone and a neck blend pot for 7 sounds. Had to modify the 'vintage' stagger on those Custom Shop pickups why do they do that?! to better match the neck radius, and now she sings so sweetly. A true dream strat® style guitar. I still want to build another one though!<br> Thanks to all at Warmoth, absolutely superbly made. That neck is so easy to play, and feels wickedly fast unfinished. It feels light with 11's on, and even a low action sounds massive. Greg Hicks<br />This is my third Warmoth build and the first attempt at doing the paint work myself. I think it came out pretty good considering it was all done with lacquer aerosol paint. The guitar is built in the vain of you know who with a USA Peavey Wolfgang pickup and hardware.

Dave Brons<br />This is a chambered double fhole swamp ash body with a laminated swamp ash top. <br> The neck is birdseye maple with a beautiful kingswood fretboard with a reverse straight peghead. It is the Warmoth pro 22frets with the wolfgang shape. The neck is easy to play and the action goes really, really low with almost no fret buzz.<br> <br> The pickups are a sustainiac in the neck, a vintage staggered Seymour Duncan middle and the bridge is a Blues Saraceno Trembucker by Seymour Duncan. <br> I custom ordered the neck from warmoth and the body was from the showcase online shop. <br> <br> This guitar is bright and open sounding with plenty of sustain. It sounds better than my Ibanez Universe which cost twice as much!!!<br> I put 10 coats of clear satin varnish and sanded between each coat. <br> A huge thanks to Dan at Warmoth for his patience and advice which helped me build my dream guitar.<br> For more details on how this guitar was built step by step check out my website at www.davebrons.com Wayne Powell<br />This Strat® style guitar is a Warmoth swamp ash body with a one piece quilted maple top and the neck is a Warmoth pro with vintage finish, Clapton profile and stainless steel frets. The body is a yellow to vintage amber with dark brown burst over to dark brown back. The colour of the body really comes out under lights. The pickups are Lace sensors with Clapton preamp. I completely assembled the guitar and painted the body. It has awesome tone and the note sustainability is fantastic. Thanks to the guys at Warmoth for supplying a fantastic product to work with. This is the third guitar I have assembled from Warmoth and have another three to complete.Thanks again Warmoth.

I ordered a mahogany body with a maple veneer top finished in Blue Ice Metallic. I had them leave the back natural, which matches perfectly with the mahogany neck and Brazilian rosewood board. The hardware is Callaham, the pickups are Wagner SR. This thing is beautiful and accomplished my objective of a Strat style guitar with a beefier tone. Christian Riebeling<br />This is my first all Warmoth project. <br> It has a beautiful AAA birdseye maple neck and fretboard with an Explorer-style head and a gorgeous one-piece swamp ash body. All wood is painted clear satin to showcase the grain and the pickguard is black solid matte. The body has incredible sonic qualities and three single coil-sized humbuckers to add a wide range of sound possibilities. The Wilkinson tremolo bridge does not take away from the great resonance and sustain.<br> Building this guitar from the parts Warmoth manufactured in excellent quality was real fun, I already have a second project on my mind... Anuj Sinha<br />This is my second build. Turned out quite well. It's Alder wood with AAA flame maple top, red dye with black burst over. Custom EMG set up with SPC and EXG presence control knobs, AAA birdseye maple neck and an ebony fretboard! Spencer Capier<br />Inspired by Ry Cooder's Strat, with a TV Jones twist. Jimmie Hendrix mod: the third pot is a volume for the middle pickup. Gary Stocrk<br />This was my first attempt at building a guitar. The Warmoth staff were great and answered all my questions. I put in a set of Rio Grande Muy Macho pickups that feature a Telecaster Stelly in the bridge. This thing smokes! It is a hardtail with a Clapton neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard and stainless steel frets. Sustain is awesome and bending is amazing. The build only took about 4 days once the fear subsided and I actually started working on it. I highly recommend Warmoth and this will not be my last guitar from them. Allen Black<br />Warmoth Dual Humbucker Stratocaster® Style Guitar 2008<br /> <br /> The details:<br /> Body: One piece Swamp Ash.<br /> Neck:  Birds Eye Maple with an Ebony fretboard. <br /> Pickups: TV Jones bridge PowerTron Plus and neck PowerTron.<br /> 3 way switching. <br /> <br /> This is my 3rd Warmoth build. <br /> <br /> Allen Black JeanMichel FERNANDEZ<br />This is my absolute Strat style guitar project, hard to take a real photo because it changes with the light.But anyway real great guitar built by Pierre Antoine Roiron:<br> <br> AAA birdseye Warmoth neck vintage modern, white mother of pearl inlays, CBS head waoooow<br /> Swamp ash Warmoth with tobacco burst finish, and the back, too incredible.<br /> Warmoth pickguard black/white/black vinyl<br /> Battery logement Warmoth <br /> EMG pickups humb89/SA57/SA57<br /> Classic Original Floyd Rose tremolo<br /> Schaller tuners<br /> <br /> Well, its hard to have the good words to make sure that anybody can understand the incredible work that Warmoth's team does, the woods, the sound,the look!!!You made my dream come true. Well, I'm better in french<br> Mille merci pour cette merveille,cette jouabilité,et ce son.<br> <br> Thanks to all at Warmoth, cheers! Greg Le Mon<br />This is my first guitar build ever and I think it turned out pretty well. I was budget minded when building this, so the neck came out of the clearance section. It is a nice piece of birdseye that I finished myself in satin lacquer. It has a standard thin contour with Grover locking tuners, 6105 fretwire, and a graphite nut and string tree. The body I ordered over the phone. It is alder with a luck-of-the-draw piece of koa on top, and a heel contour. I finished it in gloss and polished with micromesh up to 12000 grit on the front, but I left the back more of a satin. It is fitted with a Wilkinson tremolo, and a full set of vintage noiseless pickups. I wired this guitar with a push/pull pot on the volume and a 4pole 5 way switch for 5 extra tones with the original set intact including all 3 pickups in series and all 3 in parallel. With the wiring modification, this thing has a huge range in tone!<br /> <br /> Beautiful work by Warmoth and I hope to build more guitars in the future. Micah Atwell<br />I call this one the Autumncaster. It's my 2nd Warmoth build. The 2-piece padauk body and indian rosewood neck w/ebony fingerboard were bought through the Showcase.<br> <br> The body was very unique as far as padauk goes less stripes and more swirly figure with some flaming/quilting and had a lovely terra cotta hue to it, which it lost after I finished it with Minwax satin poly. Still, it looks stunning and deep. It's very similar to the old cellulose tortoise shell in color but not as dark. The Qparts shell knobs worked perfectly as a result and someday I will buy/make shell cover plates.<br> <br> The neck had a more pronounced violet hue to it than I'd expected was going for a dark, dry brown like ziricote but it also is still beautiful, and the gold hardware really tamed it down. It has a GraphTec nut, string bar, Gotoh miniSchaller tuners, 6115 stainless frets, MOP inlays, and the standard thin contour and compound radius.<br> <br> The bridge is a Gotoh vintage, which I had to track down as the conversion fixed bridge I wanted was no longer available. Pickups are Seymours... Screamin' Demon in the bridge and Cool Rails in the neck. It's wired with 1 500k volume pot, 1 pickup blend pot, and a dualpickup coilsplit switch.<br> <br> Tonally, this guitar is bright! Brighter even than my all maple/ebony Warmoth strat® style guitar Project Orange, also in the gallery. But it is also very punchy and has nice bass response. It's superbly articulate, clean, complex, and will work well for many, many types of music. I love autumn, and I can't wait to sit out on the veranda this fall playing this guitar, thanks again Warmoth!<br> <br> For more info/guitars, visit my site at MicahAtwell.com David Salchak<br />This my new Strat® style Warmoth guitar. The body is Sonic Blue, which is the perfect color for a Strat® style guitar, I think. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge and Cool Rails in the neck. Todd Crockett<br />Warmoth poplar body with vintage hardtail bridge routing, Allparts SFM neck, Gotoh Kluson tuners, Callaham vintahe hardtail bridge, Bill Lawrence Keystone pickups. Painted Seafoam Green Nitro from Reranch. Shaun Sy<br />This was my first Strat® style guitar project. I went for a '62 style strat® style with a natural finish to showcase the wood. It is comprised of a 2piece alder Warmoth body and Allpart's neck, both finished in tung oil. It's really light, about 7 1/2 lbs. Really resonant and just a true pleasure to play. I look forward to building another guitar in the future using a Warmoth body, probably a Tele® style guitar next. ] Mark Thompson<br />I took the body from a limited edition Cypress Mica colored John Mayer signature strat® and paired it up with a AAA grade birdseye maple, compound radius, reverse headstock neck from Warmoth. The figuring is beautiful and was most definitely worth it! George Mihalopoulos<br />Walnut body oil finished with Floyd rose II<br> tremolo,DiMarzio ToneZone & AirNorton pickups,GeorgeL's cables,3 way USA switch.<br> The neck is an old Richie Sambora model by Fender.<br> The guitar plays and sounds...AMAZING,anything from blues to metal. bill keaveny<br />Swamp ash body with an all Pau Ferro Warmoth Pro boat neck. 6130 frets, compound radius, 1 11/16 graphite nut, Gotoh SG38 tuners. All the black hardware came from Warmoth, as did the dual calibrated Rio Grande pickups. I finished the body myself. The neck is pretty much raw except I rubbed in a blend of wax, baby oil and alcohol to stop it getting 'crusty' I call it Emu spit! Michael Williams<br />This is my third Warmoth build and it couldn't have come out better. I'm having a hard time putting it down. The quality is far better than both my Fender and Charvel guitars and is easily worth twice what I've put into it. Here's the specs:<br> <br> Strat Body: <br> Rear Routed SSS with standard control configuration<br> Alpine White<br> Heel Contour<br> Recessed Schaller Floyd Rout<br> 5/8 Side Jack<br> <br> Neck:<br> Birdseye Neck Birdseye Fretboard<br> Wizard Contour<br> 1 11/16 Wide at Nut<br> Stainless Steel 6230 Fretwire<br> Clear Satin<br> Floyd Rose Locking Nut R3 in Black<br> <br> Bridge:<br> Schaller Floyd in Black<br> <br> Tuners:<br> Gotoh SG38 in Black<br> <br> PickUps:<br> Neck: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Strat<br> Middle: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Strat<br> Bridge: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Strat<br> <br> Controls:<br> position 1: 500K Volume<br> position 2: Master Tone<br> position 3: 500K Blender<br> Standard 5position Selector Switch<br> <br> It plays like a dream, has warm rich and clear tone, screams when you push the volume all the way up and it's perfectly balanced. It's my main guitar now. The other two never even see the light of day.<br> <br> Special thanks to Spike and Rob for answering all my questions and walking me through the purchase process. Everything went so smoothly that the hardest part was to wait patiently until it all showed up!<br> <br> MikeW Brian Paxton<br />I built up this Strat® style guitar to replace my Fender floyd rose Strat® which I wore out the frets. So I went with 6105 stainless and so far love them. I made my own waterslide decal for the head stock and named my guitar after my wife Petra, thus the Petracaster name...lol Made her smile and because of the way I did it, it cracks most up once they realize what it says there. I used the fender SCN pickups that are very quiet, almost like a humbucker and they seem to be really strong. Anthony Baxter<br />dimarzio pickups, scalloped flamed vintage tint neck with gotoh vintage style tuners, white pearl green with green pickguard Jordan Decker<br />This is an old Aztec Gold strat® style body I have had for awhile that I wanted to finally make a guitar out of. All of the gold hardware I got for it except for the Wilkinson VSVG strat trem came from Warmoth. This tremolo and the Schaller mini locking tuners and some graphite on the nut work amazing together and it holds tune under intense whammy. It also has fender CS 69's that sound amazing. i was going for that david gilmour sound and got verrry close I even wired a push pull switch to allow the combination of neck and bridge. But thank you Warmoth for the neck. It's an all maple CBS standard thin and it plays flawlessly. It is one of the nicest necks i have ever played in my life. It was a little hard to get the finish off of the frets but once i did and polished them, it needed no more work. the compound radius is awesome and i can't say how much i love this neck. thanks warmoth for everything! Kevin Holbrook<br />Here's my finished for now Frankenstrat. it's a matte black alder, SSS Warmoth body with handshaped Warmoth KWS neck. I opted for the black body to avoid having to seal and sand, and my first color was done. i also opted for predrilled Floyd Rose pivot holes and neck pocket angle. setup was almost perfect. i had to shim the nut .030 but it was close. Neck fit perfectly could lift the guitar without neck screws. Plays awesome! bought Seymour Duncan Custom 78 humbucker and original FR. paid $10 for a predrilled 71 quarter on eBay...took advantage of my work's CNC and engraved the correct serial # on the neck plate. I gravitate toward this guitar more than my Wolfgang which is a great guitar as well...<br> <br> The headstock is not perfect and bugs me. i attempted to shape it but its lacking wood on the corners. its too short and too blunt. i may go custom down the road to do it right. i prefer the 5150 headstock over the original Strat® style headstock from the 70's.<br> <br> highly recommend the project because it's not supposed to be aesthetically perfect so there's no pressure. it's all fun.<br> <br> rock on! :guitarplayer2: Ken Hayward<br />I bought an NOS neck from Philip Kubicki and came to Warmoth for the body. A fiesta red hard tail made from swamp ash. The electronics are Torres Engineering Blues Buzz cut with a mid boost. Sounds Great! Feels well balanced! Red King<br />#2 Strat® style hardtail, Flamed Black Korina body, Canary / Kingwood neck, Rio Grande Texas/BBQ pickup set. Plenty of low end rumble, plus very nice articulate overdriven sound! Greg Hicks<br />This is my second build with Warmoth and I couldn't be happier! I don't know how I lucked out, I never see any flames or custom painted bodies while surfing the site. I came across this body and purchased it immediately knowing it wouldn't be there too long! Thanks Warmoth you should offer more of these! It turned out better than expected.<br> <br> Body: Warmoth Strat® stle XXH Swamp Ash<br> Neck: Warmoth Pro Strat Head Standard Thin Maple<br> Pickup: Seymour Duncan 78 Custom<br> Bridge: Original Floyd Rose<br> Tuners: Gotoh<br> Pick Guard: Warmoth <br> Paint: Warmoth Flame Fiesta Red/Black Paul Stanley<br />I purchased a 3pc alder body and maple neck with rosewood fretboard both unfinished, body is finished with varathane stains, two coats of Danish oil and 14 coats of nitro lacquer, then polished with shellewax and a top coat of Stewmac swirl remover, the neck is stained to match the body including a natural binding. 6105 frets on warmoth pro neck,vintage tuners,wilkinson vintage trem, the best looking tortoise I've seen from Warmoth. Pickups are an amazing set of Copperhead pickups hand wound to 1959 spec! The combination of this awesome playing guitar and these pickups is just fabulous!! Thanks to all the guys on this site and to Jeff at copperheadpickups.com to help make this an incredible guitar!<br> <br> Paul Stanley Greg Hilton<br />I dreamt of building this guitar over 10 years ago and now it''s complete, I couldn''t be happier! The quality of your products is the finest I''ve seen anywhere and I wanted to thank you and everyone at Warmoth for all your help. <br /><br /> Here are the specs of my first Warmoth project: <br /><br /> Alder body finished in cherry burst metallic, custom made 3ply white pickguard with one volume and one tone control, and a 5 way switch. Dimarzio pickups power the guitar in the neck and bridge positions. It sounds amazing and it looks great too! <br /><br /> Currently the guitar has a Fender Strat® style neck from another guitar but I already have plans for purchasing a custom neck from you ASAP. <br /><br /> Again, thanks for all your help. I''ll definetly be back for more!

Thanks for the job everyone at Warmoth!<br> <br> Eric from France Wayne Powell<br />This guitar is a one piece Warmoth Alder body with a book matched Quilted Maple top, finished in a Bengal burst. The machine heads are Gotoh vintage style and pickups are Lace Sensor with individual pickup switching on the bridge humbucker, with Clapton preamp installed. The neck is a Warmoth Flame Maple Vintage modern and was painted by myself. I was looking on the web site and saw this body, had to buy it as it looked awesome and saw the neck which I thought would go well with the body. The guitar has incredible sustain and absolutely sings with the Clapton preamp switched on. Red King<br />#1 Strat® style body, Swamp Ash body, Padouk / ebony neck with DiMarzio Area '58/'58/'61 pickups. Wired with 1 Volume / 1 Tone control.

It has AAA Birdseye maple neck with abalone dots. I used a Gibson 498T humbucker and Fender samarium cobalt noiseless single coils. The Wilkinson tremolo, Gotoh 510 delta locking gears, and graphite top nut keep it perfectly in tune, even with heavy tremolo use. This is my first build using Warmoth and I don't think you could find a nicer product anywhere. I built this guitar to sell in my studio. More pictures can be seen at my website guitarlessonstudio.com Thanks Glenn White<br />This a Variax 300 conversion with Warmoth Pro neck.

It has a mahogany body with a flame koa top, koa neck and rosewood fretboard. As for the pickups, there is a lil screamin' demon in the neck and a hot rails in the bridge. All i know about the the center coil is that its from an old beat up strat® and it sounds good. Robert Insalaco<br />Here is my latest build........An alder hollowbody finished in candy tangerine with a tele® style neck roundback profile and stainless frets. Eric W. was a real help here. He suggested a tele® style heel cut in the body rather than cutting another headstock down saved me $45. She has a contoured heel. Almost all of the parts were ordered from Warmoth too. The hipshot bridge is the best I've used/seen. It has lace P/ups and Vol/Treble/Bass controls like a G&L. I have it wired to a super 5 way switch for strat® style, tele® style, and humbucker sounds. Thanks Eric and Warmoth for providing me the parts for my new #1! Matt Higgins<br />What can I say, this is the best guitar I've ever owned.

I am using an LSR rollernut with Planet Waves locking tuners to accommodate the tremolo bridge. The bridge pulls back a whole step on the G string. The pickups are Fender Hot Noiseless pickups.

Kari Koponen<br />Hello!<br /> <br /> Many thanks to you in Warmoth. This is the first guitar I assembled totally by myself.<br /> <br /> It is mostly a vintage style guitar. The main exceptions are a bit wider rosewood fretboard with steel frets and with compound radius, a graphite nut, and an angled peghead. <br /> <br /> The neck is boatshaped. The pickups are Seymour Duncan SSL2 with flat polepieces. With parts and painting from Warmoth, there was only some drilling, screwing and soldering left for me. <br /> <br /> The sound of the guitar is very vintage when amp is set clean. It sounds just like I wanted. Great!!<br /> <br /> Sincerely Yours,<br /> <br /> Kari. Fred Grabert<br />My #2 strat® style guitar is a hollow swamp ash body with flame maple top in brown sunburst and a birdseye maple neck. The hardware is Callaham.

The frets are 6105 nickel silver & they were crowned prior to setup. Both the body & neck were purchased directly from the Showcase. The body is a 2 piece Alder with an Awesome Quilted maple laminated top. I finished the body myself with a thin coat of NitroCellulous Lacquer. The Bridge is a Schaller Floyd Rose & the trem is recessed. The pick ups are EMG81/85 with a 3way blade switch & a single volume knob. I assembled 90% of this guitar myself & had a Luthier do the final set up. The Quality of Craftsmanship & wood choice is second to none. I will put this guitar up against any of my other Custom Shop instruments anytime. The Warmoth sales staff is very helpful & knowledgeable. What a great value I am so impressed. I played my Axe last night with my band for the first time & was blown away by the tone. The completed guitar is light weight & comfortable to play. This one is going to be one of my main stage guitars for sure. Kudos to Warmoth!!! Steve Shape<br />This is the best playing guitar on the planet! The body is solid swamp ash. I couldn't be happier with the finish. The pearl pickguard looks great against the purple. The neck is maple w/rosewood fingerboard. It's scalloped from the 12th fret up. Plus it has the biggest frets known to man, 6000 fretwire. So bending is effortless. I've had the Buzz Feiten tuning system installed. With the combination of the Buzz Feiten, Sperzel tuning keys, and the hardtail bridge, this guitar rarely ever goes out of tune. The pickups are a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a Duncan Jazz in the neck. I get the perfect tones for the type of stuff I do...kinda King's X meets Alice in Chains. Thanks Warmoth! Oh yeah, the sticker on the headstock is an Ohio State football helmet sticker. Go Bucks. Ian McKee<br />Custom Graphic Quilt Top Strat.

It's the best guitar I've ever played and I plan to build more! Thanks to everyone at Warmoth and unofficialwarmoth.com! Jacob Nelson<br />My first build. I bought the body from Warmoth and could not be more excited, it's an alder body with flamed maple top, the neck is a Fender 50th anniversary, a standard Fender Tremolo, an EMGHZ h4 humbucker and Fender Hot Noiseless in the middle and neck. it's Hot ed berthiaume<br />all warmoth ,original floyd ,all bill lawrence pickups flame maple neck,block inlays ,10/16 radius ss frets Mark McQuaid<br />This is my latest Strat. It's a mahogany body from the showcase,in flawless surf green. Standard thin neck in birdseye,and finished in tinted gloss. Sperzel tuners, and a Wilkinson trem make it stay in tune as well as any locking trem. A Dimarzio Mo Joe humbucker, and two Fender noisless singles provide the tone. The sound is awesome. I hope to soon change the neck to an all rosewood with matching peg face. Again, many thanks to all at Warmoth for your help, and great parts !!! Tai Fu<br />This is what I call the DragonForce... yes named after the band with the band logo on it too. It's a long story, I got a swamp ash body from B Hefner on ebay and I wanted to paint a dragonburst on it, but didn't want to spring for a quilted maple top, considering I have already gotten the body and have taken such a pain to grainfill it... So I decided to paint this in dragonburst, knowing that without the quilted maple top it will not be a true dragonburst. Well I also listened to DragonForce and it just sounds so cool, so I decided to name the guitar Dragonforce. <br> <br> I used yellow aniline dye for the center portion but the dye became lighter as more clear coats are applied.. I don't know why this happens. I used nitrocellouse lacquer as always..<br> <br> The neck is a Warmoth Koa/Ebony neck, boatneck contour and SS1665 fret. The neck is a little fat but felt better for playing chords compared to the relatively thin standard thin profile. The logo was custom made by someone on reranch.com from pictures off the internet.<br> <br> Pickups came from a previous guitar that I sold. It's a Dimarzio blue valvet/blue valvet/tone zone. The wiring is done by Andy Rothstein and it features a dialatap where you can switch from single coil to humbucker or anywhere in between. There is also a neck on switch to get telelike sounds.<br> <br> While the color of the pickguard isn't the best given the paint scheme pearloid or white would have been better I decided that I don't like wasting parts and besides I was a little short on cash so this would have to do. <br> <br> I still wish I could play anywhere near as good as anyone else... I spent too much time working and building guitars... Ed Karges<br />Hollow Strat Body, Contour Heel. Quilted Maple Top, Swamp Ash Back, Honeyburst finish. All Black Hardware.

The hardware on this bad boy is a FRO in chrome,vintage tuners,Dimarzio EVO pup - which sounds so cool,500k potentiometer,single volume, reverse headstock, poplar body, and an all maple neck with a light oil finish, which makes it super fast - just like EVH.

They're just unbelievable absolutely the best playing, sounding, and looking guitars you could ever get at any price! Tommy Hammer<br />Here is a Variax 300 that I completed using all parts from Warmoth. I play in a cover band a I used it at my gig and it was great. It's got the playability of my favorite Strat and all the versatility of the Variax. I didn't have to change guitars all night long. The neck is absolutely beautiful and the body is solid. I am extremely pleased with this guitar and I recommend that anyone with a Variax 300 seriously think about doing a Warmoth conversion. Chris Stark<br />This is my first Warmoth product and I am amazed at how well it came out. Alder body with contoured heel, vintage 6-hole trem, a MAGNIFICENT AAA birdseye maple neck with stainless frets and CBS headstock, Schaller mini-locking tuners and corian nut. The pickups are Fender Noiseless Jeff Beck models, custom wired by Warwicke Newmann Diesel, Jimmy Barnes, Airbourne, with Alpine White finish by yours truly. I pretty much bought everything from Warmoth bar the scratchplate the price truly cannot be beat there were things I bought from you guys that I were cheaper than what I could find them for here in Melbourne and the quality is outstanding. The parts are extremely well crafted and the woods are phenomenal. This guitar is at the very least the equal to any Custom Shop job from Fender for five times the price of what this cost me in fact one of the guys at Billy Hyde's thought it was a custom shop guitar at first look.<br> Tonewise, it's an absolute belter. The highs are clear and glassy and the sustain is very nearly Spinal Tap-esque you could go out for a bite and you'd be still hearin' this one.<br> I am so happy with how this unit has turned out. My eternal thanks to Dan for all his help and advice and for the pictures of his kids and to Gregg for the fantastic after sales service. I would also like to thank Michael at Billy Hydes for the setup. I can't wait to get my next done 12 string Tele Thinline, baby!! for you all to marvel at!!

Christopher Murphy<br />This is my first Warmoth project, but NOT my last! It's a plain Warmoth swamp ash Strat® replacement body in Shell Pink, and most of the hardware is from Warmoth as well. The neck is from a Fender 60's Strat an Ebay find. The pickups are Chubtones 63's at the neck and middle plus an El Gordo at the bridge. The result is the best guitar I've played in a VERY long time! Thank you, Warmoth! Steve Morton<br />Here is a picture of my Hot Rod guitar. I've been a drag racer for many years and was in a garage band back when I was in high school. About a year and a half ago I started playing again and being handy with tools I discovered I could build my own guitar. The body is a Warmoth Graffiti Yellow body with a Fender Jimmy Vaughn neck. All of the hardware is chrome or nickel. A solid chrome pickguard graces the front along with knobs that are actually modified tire valve caps. Thanks for letting me share my project with you. Andy Paulson<br />Huge thanks to you guys at Warmoth!! I've bought a couple necks for other projects, but this last neck and body project is by far my favorite. The body is hollow Black Korina and the neck is maple with some birdseye. The fretboard is made of kingwood and has stainless 6105 frets with a graphite nut. Pictures do no justice as I finshed the guitar and neck with an HVLP gun and multiple coats of hi-build lacquer. The neck is vintage tinted and the lacquer on the body is dye shaded to match the hues in the wild patterned kingwood fretboard. The dyed lacquer in the body gives a unique look at different angles. Tuners are Planet Waves trim lock bridge is a Vintage Wilkinson VSVG pups are Fralin Blues Specials 5 way controls include 250k potsmaster tone & volume and no load Fralin style blender pot, a treble bleed volume circuit, and a .033 tone cap. This guitar sounds and looks SWEET!! Thanks again Warmoth You guys are true craftsmen. Steven Robinson<br />This is my 2005 Warmoth project.

Locking Shaller tuners, Callaham bridge, Joe Barden neck pickup big and clean, Tone Zone bridge pickup. I cut the pickguard myself from .060 aluminum from the local metals yard. Amazing quality. Warmoth radius, nice clarity on the upper frets. Real big fun to play. Marko Oving<br />My most recent warmoth build!<br> this was meant to be a very simple straight forward guitar.

All the hardware came from Warmoth too including the Rio Grande pickups. I grainfilled the body and finished it with Tung oil. It has turned out beautifully Scott Pattershall<br />Inspired by Warren DiMartinis guitar. Warmoth poplar body and birdseye maple neck, all from the clearance bin. Warmoth traditional Strat tremolo and Duncan Custom Five humbucker. Graphtech nut and Grover tuners. Plays like a dream!!! The fit between the neck and body is incredible. I have already had requests to make a Bass and a Tele style guitar from guitarists who played this one. You can bet the bodies and necks will come from Warmoth. Marko Oving<br />Warmoth #3:<br> Swamp Ash Strat® Replacement body, finished with about 30 coats of red woodburst oil stain, and about 6 coats of Truoil. The lightly flamed maple/maple neck is also finished with Tru Oil!<br> The Bridge is a recessed Gotoh Wilkinso trem, which works absolutely great with the LRS roller nut and Planet wave auto trim tuners.<br> This ones sounds really good! Marko Oving<br />Here's my first Warmoth project:<br> Alder Warmoth Strat® Replacement body with a spectacular Birdseye maple top! the neck is a '86 Japanese Fender Strat which has been part of my main guitar for over 20 years!<br> Also has a gotoh FR and a Rio Grande BBQbucker from Warmoth! Tai Fu<br />This is the Chameleon Caster... The neck had quite a story... It started as a replacement neck that bolted to a Mighty Mite body and the bottom of the 22 fret extension was shaved a little because Mighty Mite neck pocket was too deep. Then I ditched the mighty mite body for a Warmoth body, then it was ditched for the current body which is a B hefner body I got from Ebay, the neck pocket depth is in spec that it is 5/8 inch as it should be. I got Alder body from B hefner because I have been wanting a color changing finish but don't want to grainfill. The alder grain was so nice I wish I had done a sunburst but I had no choice... The Auto Air Color was a little hard to use and the finish came out looking like it was hammerite but it wasn't too bad. The neck is maple/Pau Ferro with 6115 stainless steel fret, standard thin contour, abalone dot, Fender American Standard pickup with Andy Rothstein's own voodoo tone wiring I wired it myself with the kit and Callaham bridge. I was going to sell this body but decided against it because I figure that the mod I did to the body would make it worthless I had mis drilled several holes on the bridge and there are only 2 screws in the bridge and it just doesn't sound or look all that bad...<br> <br> This is my main workhorse guitar until I get my DragonForce built more on that later... Mark Franklin<br />I recently finished my first Warmoth guitar and wanted to send you a picture of the finished product. It is a hollow body strat with a tiger maple top and a birdseye maple neck with stainless steel frets. Andy Rothstein in New Jersey built the pickup assembly for me. The first tone control is a pushpull pot that turns on the neck pickup independent of the 5 way switch and the second tone control is actually a blend pot that turns the humbucker into a single coil. The pickups are a Dimarzio tone zone and two Area 61s.<br> <br> <br> <br> The guitar turned out great and sounds even better. I'm really glad I was able to build the guitar and look forward to doing it again with Warmoth parts of course. Kalin Belchev<br />This is my new Warmoth guitar. It has arrived a month ago. Great sounding guitar and great player!!! One piece koa body with beautiful koa top, padouk neck, brazilian rosewood fretboard, SS 6105 frets!

Aubert Germain<br />Hollow Dragonburst quilt maple top on swamp ash with flame maple neck and Bare Knucle Miracle Man humbucker and trilogy sincle coils Dave Atkinson<br />I started with a 2x8x40 slab of Basswood. And it would up looking like this. I wound up staining the body which turned out better than it could have. The lacquer finish came out of a rattle can.<br> I knew there was only one option for the neck. I had found an unused Warmoth birdseye/ebony model years ago at a pawn shop. It plays so great on another homegrown strat that I have that I knew that another one would make this project play perfectly. This one sports a nofrills Warmoth Pro maple/ebony neck. It plays as fast as anything I've used and it was a breeze to set up. The pickups are homebuilt like the body. The neck and bridge pickups are originals out of my dad's hotrodded '57 strat. They were a mess, so I cleaned and rewound them for fat tone at the bridge and thin tone at the neck.<br> I've got three tele projects in the works for some friends of mine. They're all getting Warmoth necks and hardware. Nothing compares. Thanks. Stephen Ignatowicz<br />This is a hollow one piece mahogany body with a AAAAA quilt maple top. The color is cherry burst and the back is transparent red. <br> The neck is a warmoth pro angled, also mahogany with the transparent red, an ebony fingerboard, and a AAAAA quilt veneer on the head color matching the body. <br> For all the misc. stuff it has SS 6105 frets, a precut graphtech nut, mother of pearl inlays, string though body with a countersunk bridge, Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge and a 59 in the neck...the list goes on and on.<br> This is a beautiful guitar to look at and play and I will never buy off the shelf guitars again, especially being a lefty. Thank you Warmoth and can't wait to build another one. Brett P<br />This is my finished project. Mahogany body with quilt maple top. Pro birdseye maple neck with Brazilian rosewood board. I finished the neck w/tru oil and it came out great. I did all the electronics using Rio Grande pickups, 300k pots and a Hoveland .047 cap with a volume kit supplied by Rothstein guitars. All other parts were bought from Warmoth. Tuners are Sperzel locking and the bridge is a Wilkinson Gotoh. This thing plays and sounds as good if not better than my boutique guitar costing about three times as much! <br> Special thanks to Andy at elRayo guitar works in San Diego, CA for his masterful help with assembly and setup. Warmoth rocks!, you guys have high quality guitar parts and excellent service. I can't wait for my next project. Jeff Booker<br />My first electric guitar.<br> Body: Cheap used Squire<br> Neck: absolutely beautiful Warmoth unfinished Rosewood, Stainless SS6105 frets, graphite nut. <br> Pickups: EMGSL20 set<br> <br> I hated how my old squire played and sounded so I decided to supercharge it. Don at Rosevears Music in Aberdeen highly recommended Warmoth, and generally helped me out through the whole project, including bringing in his custom guitars to let me try different setups. <br> Craig Jones did the painting and helped rationalize the paint job in my head. Painting was laborious and we did many coats and tries to get the colour gradients right I kept sanding too far. Finally tonnes of clear and a final sanding to a vintage satin look. <br> This guitar plays amazing, the neck is incredibly fast and smooth. The quality of the neck is beyond fault. <br> I am in love with this guitar, EMG's rock out and the neck is perfect. Thanks guy's. Next up.... Warmoth Body??? Craig may kill me.<br> ps. does anyone have a tip to age the white on the pickguard border so it matches the aged white colour on the guitar? Dennis Phelan<br />Wilkinson tremolo, lace sensor p/u, koa body, rosewood and ziricote neck. plays great sounds great and all the parts fit together perfectly.

Volume, tone and the 5-way switch work for both passive and S-Style Variax. The second tone pot was replaced by the Variax model pot.<br> <br> The Warmoth body is just perfect. None of my Fender bodies sounded as good with the passive pickups!<br> <br> I'm very happy that I found your site!!<br> <br> Greetings from Germany,<br> Sebastian Steve Smedstad<br />Torres Engineering pickups with the Bluesbreaker wiring harness. All the rest came from Warmoth. Matt Gregory<br />Suzy. Finished in 1992. Warmoth replacement S-Style neck and alder body, Dimarzio neck vintage single coil and bridge super distortion pickups. All electronic components from Ohm electronics, and has a discontinued Washburn Wonderbar top mounted tremelo system.<br> Originally started in 1989 as a bridge routed humbucker pickup only and in all black, the guitar was rethought, routed, and refinished. Pickguard is also from Warmoth and handpainted by me. The body is a fingerpaint type design I did and overcoated with spray urethane alternating with steel wool to smooth and let some wood grain show through. Lenn Marella<br />This is Angel, My Warmoth Guitar. She's a Solid Mahogany body with Flame Maple cap and a tobacco sunburst finish. A one piece Bloodwood neck and fret board cushion the fingers and all gold hardware, vintage Fender trem bridge finish her off.

I also got the Lace hot gold sensors on clearance at Warmoth. I made the pickguard and trem cover out of an oak veneer. All gold hardware with vintage headstock, tuners, and bridge.

The hollowbody option has really added warmth and sustain to all manner of tones.<br> <br> The quality of the workmanship on all of the Warmoth parts is second to none, and I'll definitely be using Warmoth again in the future and recommending them to anyone who'll listen.<br> <br> Thanks very much to all at Warmoth, I still can't believe that this cost under £1000 in total!. Donald Fowler<br />Warmoth body finished in Fiesta Red with a Warmoth neck in high gloss Canary wood with Pau Ferro fretboard. Mint green pickguard. My first build.

Which aren't over powerful but have a great rich sound.<br> If you put this together...well done. Gil Maldonado<br />This is my first S-Style guitar that I built from Warmoth. Its a 1 piece Black Korina body which sounds amazing. It has Bill Lawrence pickups, 1 volume, 1 mid boost/cut, 1 tone controls and a Wilkinson Tremolo. The neck is a Goncalo Alves, unfinished, with an Ebony fretboard, SS6105 frets and Sperzel locking turners. Just want to say thanks to Jay for helping me out and making my MaldoCaster come to life...rock on Warmoth! Larry McGee<br />Warmoth Snakeocaster swamp ash hollow body with lacewood top, 70's neck refretted with medium jumbo frets planet waves tuners, roller string trees and graphite nut with Wilkinson tremolo, anaconda pickguard, and Rio Grande, Tallboy, Halfbreed and Stelly Pickups. Petri Isomaki<br />This is my brand new Dave Murray meets Yngwie Malmsteen S-Style guitar and I'm sure it won't be my last Warmoth project. It has a scalloped maple neck with SS6115 stainless steel jumbo frets and Gotoh tuners, alder body, recessed Floyd Rose tremolo, 2 Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers & a Classic stack plus in the middle. It's probably the best guitar I have ever held in my hands. The sustain is unbelievable, the tone and playability is incomparable! Praise the Warmoth!!! Tom Riggall<br />Hey, here's my two S-Style guitars, both customized by my buddy Jeff with Warmoth pickguards. The white one has three Dimarzio super distortion pickups with a Kahler trem and Fender Roller nut. The blue one has two Dimarzio super distortions and an X2N in it, fitted with a Floyd Rose trem on it. Both are wonderful instruments that sound and feel amazing, shred like none other. Tracy Jors<br />Variax Electric Dragon, this is the second guitar done with my favorite finish Honey Burst over the Acrylic Swirl. I am in the process of one more guitar build from Warmoth, it will be a Burl maple top with this same finish but have pickups, just like the first Electric Dragon. This Variax is very cool, the 500 I took the Board and controls out of did not even come close to this show stopper!! I think everyone will agree with me that Warmoth is the best at what they do! I will post the next guitar when done. Once again Thanks to Warmoth..... Loren Smith<br />Sonic Blue solid Alder Warmoth body with deep contour. Nitrocellulose finish with Reranch products. Neck is a Warmoth Pro large headstock flame Maple, 1 piece neck, 1016 radius, standard thin C contour, 1 11/16 nut. It's tinted with Fender neck amber alcohol soluble wood dye, tuner by Grover Deluxe. All the h/w is Fender American Standard, including this Cream Pearloid pickguard, which complements the guitar well. All has been rewired using vintage style cloth pushback wiring. The pickups are Buddy Guy signature, American Standard pups. Plastic is Fender Parchment. Case is Fender Tolex black on black. Bridge pickup is wired through the bottom tone pot for control. She plays and sound absolutely amazing. Lots of personal, custom shop style handwork went into this one, including the hand rolled edges on the neck and a lot of other little tricks of the trade. She's as smooth as silk!

It has a fatback neck that is definitely my favorite neck and I have small hands!<br> <br> The onepiece swamp ash body is finished in tung oil, and adorned with custom koa trimmings, and is truly featherweight.<br> <br> This is the guitar I pick up time and again, preferring it to guitars I have had costing several times more.<br> <br> Srini<br> Rich Santoli<br />The S-Style is My second Warmoth Guitar. It was started and finished in 2007. It has a vintage modern neckbirds eye maple with pau ferro fingerboard, Sperzels, 6150 frets, a corian nut and a satin finish. The body is swamp ash with a quilted maple laminate top and a Tobacco finish. It has Fender Custom Shop Custom ''54 pickups.<br> <br> Both of these guitar are amazing. The feel, finish and quality are unsurpassed! John Daniel<br />This is a Scott Yates Custom Guitar that I got<br> off Ebay for $200. It was very beat up. When I<br> disassembled it, much to my surprise, it was a warmoth body & neck from around 1990. I refinished the body and put her back together<br> and now it's my favorite one to play. It came with Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails & some kind of active circuit, sperzel locking tuners, a<br> graphite nut, and Schaller TOM/STP. Plays like a dream. The body & neck held up to some major<br> thrashing thru the years, but is still better than anything you could buy off a rack.<br> Thanx Warmoth<br> you guys are awesome ! Josh Smith<br />Here's my Van Halen UNCHAINED Replica. Basically, a friend painted it for me he has an area to work in, unlike my apartment. The research was a pain in the butt, HOWEVER, the results were WELL worth it. I have more pics at my blog at: http://bykes43blog.blogspot.com/<br> and my MySpace page at: http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseactionuser&MyTokenddddcaba40b84151878c52d05c348708<br> <br> Feel free to contact me for any questions! Thanks! Fraser Thomson<br />Left-handed Alder body with spalted maple top, dark tobacco burst top/trans brown back, black binding. The neck is Padouk with Brazillian rosewood, 1.75 nut. I drilled the pot and switch positions to match my other stage guitar, a 1984 Charvel/Jackson strat. Pickups are a Seymour Duncan JB, with 2 JB Jrs, wired seriesoffparallel via the three DPDT onoffon switches. I got the guys at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto to cut and install the graphite nut for me. <br> <br> This guitar has a TON of sustain, and gets harmonics all up and down the neck. I would recommend doing the series/parallel wiring to anyone; it's easy to wire up, and provides a lot of tonal flexibility. This is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever owned in the 22 years I've been playing, and it's easily the most beautiful. Thanks, Warmoth! Brandon Kearns<br />Nothing too incredibly fancy. Specs are as follows:<br> <br> Body: Warmoth Black Korina, rear routed<br> Neck: Squier II maple neck Korean made<br> Bridge: Fender American Standard Tremolo<br> Pickups: EMG 89/SA/SA with EMG SPC<br> <br> I've had this neck for a while and always loved the feel and playability of it, despite it being a late 80s Korean made Squier II neck. It was on a crappy plywood body, I always planned on buying a Warmoth body for it and finally did.<br> <br> I love the look of the body.. the grain and the paint job combine for a killer look! I bought a rear routed body because of the push/pull pot required by the 89, and for the battery space. I tried to put these pickups in a regular Strat but due to the length of the push/pull pot they wouldn't fit without some questionable modifications.<br> <br> Yea, I put a pickguard on a rear routed S-Style guitar. I wanted a standard Strat look. I did have to do some questionable wood routing myself for this, but 99% of it is under the pickguard and not visible except for a minor mistake visible at the bottom right of the pickguard.

It is a solid Alder body and a<br> Maple neck with a Kingwood fretboard. This guitar not<br> only looks sweet, but plays awesomely. Pure butter. <br> <br> The finish is several coats of tru oil covered by a<br> couple of coats of Minwax WipeOn Poly matte. Trust<br> me the photo does not do this sweet guitar justice. <br> The pickup is a GFS Fat Paf, which sounds as<br> good as any Dimarzio or Duncan. All other parts are<br> from Warmoth.<br> <br> I can't say enough about the neck and body and they<br> were some of the cheapest ones in the Showcase! <br> Thanks Warmoth!

I named this guitar Electric Dragon, I think it fits and I am very proud of this guitar!<br> <br> The strat body is swamp ash, I always use Warmoth necks and it is a Birdseye maple, standard thin 1 5/8 nut, compound radius, satin finish, 6150 frets. The back of the body is transparent honey color with a cream control cover. I am currently having a Variax Strat body done in this same finish from Warmoth and will post that picture when completed. <br> <br> Once again I cannot thank the staff at Warmoth enough for the way this guitar turned out!!! Steve Gordon<br />Here's my Brownstrat-style guitar, crafted from a neck and body from the Warmoth Bargain Bin. Neck is flame maple with Kingwood FB finished with 4 coats gloss tung oil I know I'm bad The body is Poplar, stained with Minwax water based stain, 2 coats Minwax gloss spray on poly, then 12 coats Minwax gloss wipeon poly for that deep rich sheen. Pickups are GFS Dream 180 in the bridge, GFS Lipsticks tubes elswhere, wired as vintage. Wilkinson trem, graphite nut.<br> Warmoth parts are absolutely the best. You'd pay through the nose for a custom shop beauty like this. What's next for me? Perhaps a super custom flying V, or maybe a Jazz PBass Hybrid? We'll see... Trevor Watters<br />One piece flame maple neck. Schaller Locking Tuners, Corian nut, Stainless steel frets, finished in a hard clear lacquer with just a small tint.<br> Flame maple on Alder body, Kinman Vintage noiseless pickups, Graphtech piezo saddles on a vintage bridge, stereo jack for mags and piezo. Great sound. Some have said it is better acoustic than an acoustic for Shadows Guitar Instrumentals. G Stewart<br />Black Korina 7/8 sized body, Black Korina 24 3/4 scale, 24 fret neck with Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard. For pickups, Rio Grande Tall Boy in the neck position and a BBQ in the bridge. Original Floyd Rose Trem. Notice the Flame in the Korina. Not a common thing to find in Korina. Light Tobacco burst on pegface and body, Satin finish on the back of the Clapton profiled neck. Abalone inlays and Stainless Steel frets. The shape of the peghead is a custom shape made by Warmoth called the Warhead. <br> <br> It sounds and plays incredibly well. Great access to all 24 frets, nice slinky feel to the strings since it's a 24 3/4 scale. This is truly an exceptional guitar in every respect!<br/> <a href=See more pictures here." height="425px" width="200px" img_w="214" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> Regis Winn<br />This is a picture of my two warmoth guitars. One is a custom body I made from a warmoth blank routed by warmoth. It has an ebony fret board and plays like a dream! It sounds fat like a les paul. I love it.<br> The other of course is a frankenstrat copy. The body is poplar and has a bright sound. <br> Thanks to warmoth for all they do. Paul Castellani<br />This build was my third attempt and was a unique one as well. The parts include Sperzel Locking tuners on an all ebony neck. The body had a very delicate finish on it which presented a challenge as well as a learning experience. Pickup selection for this guitar was by DiMarzio. They included two crusier DP186 pickups in the neck/middle position and one Fred pickup in the bridge. Pots were a CTS 250K volume and two Gibson 500K pots for the tone all pots were LONG shaft due to the thick maple cap. Note to future builders: Wilkinson tremolo system completes this beauty and boy does she play nice. George Tarnopolsky<br />Time and time again, guitar projects completed with Warmoth parts exceed my expectations.<br> This project is 100% Warmoth Showcase body finished in Charger Green finish, Showcase boatneck neck with 1 5/8 nut width, Warmoth pickguard drilled for a 3-way mini switch only.<br> <br> There are 3 factors why I come back to Warmoth time and time again: quality, precision, and options. When I receive finished parts, the finish is perfect. Having the parts made on CNC machinery ensures excellent fit and alignment I can get a perfect neck pocket fit and incredible action, without shimming. Lastly, Warmoth allows me to choose a guitar with the options I want. For example, this project is a mahogany body with a huge maple neck I have a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge position and a Seymour Duncan Hot Stack in the neck. The mini switch is wired ON-OFF-ON the Hot Stack pickup is permanently tapped and I have the bridge humbucker set up for coil tapping when the volume knob is pulledfor a total of 3 tonal options. I am a guitar collector and own many guitars, but I will put up my Warmoth against any factory or vintage guitar! Shon McSpadden<br />I call this Frankie-5150-Brown . I took the original Frankie body idea...Ash body, pickup routes, pickguard, then applied the Kramer 5150 stripe job using brown & ebony stain instead of red,black, and white paint, to imply the Brown Sound theory. I then shaped the headstock to resemble the Peavey Wolfgang. I only did this, because I already had a 3+3 set of schallers and did not want to order a 6inline set. Plus I thought this would be different and looked better as well. The pickguard is made of mirrored Plexiglas, and is a 99 percent exact tracing of Ed's Frankie pickguard. I am currently using a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, only because I have always used Super Distortions and I like the way they sound. I was only going for the look of Ed's guitars, not the sound. I already have an original 1st year Wolfgang and if I need his sound I can always use that. With the Frankie Brown, I wanted a replacement for my Wolfgang as my main guitar, so I can keep my Wolfgang in it's case for safekeeping being now they are collectors items. In the future I plan to install the slider switch in the middle pickup cavity for appearance, and I will also install a Dimarzio Chopper in the neck and will be functional so that it will be more versatile. This Monster in my opinion, is what Ed's top 3 guitars would be morphed into one Super guitar. <br> After I purchased my Peavey Wolfgang, I vowed I would never purchase another production line guitar. Production wise there is nothing better than a Peavey Wolfgang. From here on out and as long as Warmoth stays in business, I plan on building my own guitarsthis being my 4th...or should I say have them custom made through Warmoth, for the sole reason of getting exactly the guitar that I want and getting the quality that is far superior than any production made guitar out there. Thanks to all the staff at Warmoth for helping me create this Bad Ass guitar.....Oh,did I forget to mention that it didn't cost me $25,000.00? And it plays and sounds just as good if not better. Terry Allen<br />This was my first attempt at building a guitar. I built it for a friend of mine who is a long time rock guitar player as can be seen on his website www.2bad.us.

It has a an alder body with a beautiful tiger stripe maple top. It has a recessed Original Floyd Rose trem with a Duncan Trembucker in the bridge position, Stacked Vintage Rails in the middle position and a Little 59er in the neck position. It also has all black hardware and pickguard.<br> <br> The neck is the Pro Warmoth with rosewwood fretboard custom neck dots. This guitar is so amazing to play and sounds killer. The sales staff at Warmoth are second to none. Warmoth Rules!!! Thanks guys!!<br> <br> Jeff Wasson Iacopo Nesi<br />Hello fellow Warmoth gallerists!<br> This is my Warmoth project and she features the following appointments:<br> Standard thin koa neck Warmoth Pro, jet black ebony f/board, Earvana compensated nut in black, 6130 frets & abalone dots, Kluson style tuners by Gotoh, chambered swamp ash body & quilt maple top Warmoth in Tobacco Burst, Wilkinson VS400 floating vibrato by Gotoh, Creme pearloid p/guard, Set of Kinman Blues noiseless single coils with blender tone pot, Strung with DR 10s.<br> <br> She is a fine looking guitar and the end result is much more that the sum of its parts. I had it assembled by one of the finest repairers/luthiers in Spain: Jordi Pros of Herrera Guitars in Barcelona www.herreraguitars.com , who I would like to thank warmly for all the help and suggestions. The picture was taken by good friend and top photographer Josep Burset, whome I thank for an excellent job.<br> She was put together in October '06 and now May '07 she needs a little fine tuning as all the parts have nicely settled, this is normal, as the woods adjust to their new jobs and forces i.e. strings pull etc..<br> Tonally the guitar is growing on me every day more. As one knows, tone is subject to personal taste, but certainly this guitar has sustain, rich harmonic properties that derive from its chambered structure, also the set of Kinmans deliver such a full-bodied, yet versatile sound that I yet have to define.... All I can say is that she can softly whisper in your ear, gently cry on your shoulder, ravish you with throaty growl or scream your gut open... You figure...<br> A big thank you to Spike and Aaron at Warmoth for the the kind help during the choosing & ordering process. Also, thanks to Sasha and her 2 many cats for arranging such a timely & smooth delivery. And to Warmoth for producing generally flawless guitar parts, in great quantity and for the benefit of us all.<br> <br> Best regards,<br> Jim Franklin<br />I had an old case for a Strat that I traded in... why not build ANOTHER Warmoth to fit the case? This is the third Warmoth guitar that I have built from bare wood up. If you haven't done it, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??<br> <br> This guitar was meant for playing Blues, so I wanted that smooth, mellow tone that Mahogany could provide. I also had the Warmoth folks chamber the body, total weight 4 1/2 lbs, and HUGE tone!<br> <br> Here are the specs: Mahogany chambered body with 13 coats of gloss Nitrocellouse lacquer from a rattle can, NO pick guard to show the beauty of the wood, graphite nut, Gotah hard tail bridge, Canary wood neck with Ebony fretboard also 13 coats Nitrocellouse lacquer, jumbo frets, Planet Wave Tuners, side mounted output jack, with two Cool Rails, and one Vintage Rail for pickups<br> <br> What a beauty!! Photos don’t come close to showing the finish on this instrument, ALL DONE FROM A SPRAY CAN. It can be done, I’m doing it, and there is NO more gratifying feeling than playing a guitar that YOU built. Warmoth, you’ve done it again! HUGH TONE!!<br> <br> kandoo80@rochester.rr.com Mark Dewey<br /> Mark Dewey<br /> Mark Dewey<br /> bernie yucker<br />this is the great reversed guitar made by warmoth. at a quick glance it looks like a lefty, but it is a righty. reversed body, pickguard and neck. the maple neck is made to wizard specs, fender noisless pickups, locking tuners, hardtail bridge, and an awesome paint job done in metallic black cherry. warmoth did an excellent job and i love it! Chris Perry<br />This is the flame maple topped swamp ash hollow body I built in 2006. It's fitted with the trembucker version of the Seymour Duncan SH14 Custom 5 at the bridge, with an SH2n Jazz in the neck position. These are wired through a 3-way switch with a push-push tone pot providing coil-tapped sounds. The neck is a Warmoth Pro compound radius rosewood on maple, with a Clapton profile. The frets are the SS6105 variety and it has an LSR nut to provide a very smooth tremolo feel to the Gotoh Wilkinson bridge. The whole thing is topped off with a set of D'Addario XL 1046 strings. Sound wise, the hollow body adds a very dark undercurrent to the sound, but crank it up and this rocks with the very best of them. David Salchak<br />I bought this body from the showcase. It is swamp ash, finished in alpine white with black binding. The neck is a satin finished Warmoth Pro with black binding, black block inlays and Schaller locking tuners. The body and neck look great together a very classy looking guitar.<br> <br> The pickups are Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the neck and bridge. No middle pickup, it always seems to just get in the way. It has one tone control, one volume control and a 3-way switch. Blending the neck and bridge pickups together yields the tone I was after.<br> <br> david@salchak.com David Salchak<br />This guitar was built completely from Warmoth parts. The body is swamp ash with a quilt maple top and the neck is flame maple both were from the showcase. The pickups are both Seymour Duncan Hot Rails no middle pickup and I used an LP switch instead of the traditional Fender style blade switch. There is one volume control and the rooster head knob is wired to a Black Ice passive over drive circuit. I feel like I found the sweet spot for the look, feel, sound and configuration on this one.<br> <br> david@salchak.com George Seaton<br />A Strat-style to match my other LPB Warmoth, using a Warmoth Showcase body Lake Placid Blue body with pearloid droptop binding and Warmoth custom flame maple neck and ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot markers. In addition to the Warmoth-supplied pickguard and Fender bridge, I added Fender SCN pickups, Sperzel locking tuners, pearl top knobs, and chrome switch tip. So now I have two guitars in Lake Placid Blue with pearloid binding. Hmmm, wonder how an LP would look in the same color scheme? Todd Krueger<br />Hey!<br> This is my first attempt at a Warmoth Guitar. This gorgeous beauty is head and shoulders or should I say neck and body above anything that they can produce in their custom shop. The body is hollow swamp ash capped with exquisite quilt maple finsihed in tobacco sunburst. The neck is unfinished padouk with an ebony fret board and stainless 6150 frets. They feel fantastic and the unfinished padouk with the ebony feels and plays like nothing I have ever played before. She's loaded with Torres Engineering Blues Special pick ups with the midrange control and volume kit. They sound most incredible!! The hardware is gold with gold locking Schaller tuners. The head is topped off with the SWEET gold Warmoth logo. I display it proudly! Thanks for looking! Be cool and rock like you mean it!!! Reinhard Fricke<br />This is my Red Special: The body is an extra light swamp ash from the showcase, which got a red transparent finish by Warmoth sorry I did not catch the real appearence for this photo. The neck is quartersawn maple with a rosewood fingerboard 1 3/4 nut width and boatneck shape frets are 6150 WarmothPro. I ordered the neck unpainted as a paddle, did some little mods on the boat shape and designed my own headstock with 3 left and 3 right. Finally I painted a thin satin PU finish. The tuning machines are Planet Waves. The neck features an Earvana compensating nut, which really makes a big difference in intonation. PickUps are Bill Lawrence noiseless L280 in bridge and middle and a L200 in the neck position. The bridge is an ABM locking hardtail. There is only one volume and tone controle for all PUs. I have a selfdesigned FETbuffer installed, which makes the sound independent from cable capacities and allows to implement different sound characteristics selectable with the mini switch custom parchment pickguard and battery box routing on the backside by Warmoth.<br> <br> I did not intend to build a fifties vintage reissue, but a versatile guitar with contemporary features and with a bigger than usual neck to fit my big hands and fingertips. What I got is a big tone, a surprising amount of sustain, good twang and an excellent range of sounds from very vintage to modern.<br> <br> Warmoth delivered exactly what I had ordered and all parts came in excellent quality with a perfect fit of neck and body. Shipment from the US to Germany was done by UPS, who also cleared customs for me. Thanks to everybody at Warmoth involved in this project. Bill Keaveny<br />Flame bubinga top on swamp ash hollow body, which I finished myself with minwax wipe on gloss poly. The birds eye neck I sprayed satin clear. The gold hardware is from Warmoth. The pickups are both JB model Seymour Duncans. It has a 3 way switch, 2 volumes and a master tone with a push/pull pot for coil tapped options. Phil Jelks<br />I had spare parts laying around from several stock guitar projects and this is what came out of them. <br> <br> The body is black korina in alpine white, the neck is birdseye maple with a rosewood board in a boatneck contour. Pickups are all Duncan's, Lil '59 in the neck, Classic Stack Plus mid and a Custom 5 Trembucker in the tail, all are coil tapped. The sustain and versatility of this axe is incredible. By far, is beats the socks off any factory Strat or Les Paul I've played to date. My next project is in the planning stages, Warmoth parts will be the major contributor to that endeavor.<br> <br> Thanks guys, you rock! Thomas Redding, Jr.<br />Here's my Fiestakota Red '62 Clone. The body is Alder, with a Hardtail bridge. The neck Maple with Brazilian Rosewood and 6100 Frets on a Vintage Modern Construction. It is a boattail shape. I finished the body at Lay's Guitar in Akron as part of their Guitar Clinic. I started with four coats of clear, then yellow, more clear, then white, then Fiestakota Red, then more clear. Goes without saying, I sanded a lot, and after wet sanding, buffed it on the big buffer at Lay's.<br> <br> Fiestakota Red is approximately fifteen parts Fiesta Red and three parts Dakota Red to bring out the red and mask some of the pink. NO, I can not duplicate it as it was trial and error.<br> <br> The neck is four coats of clear, two coats of a very faint yellow, and then two more coats of clear, Lots of sanding and then on to the buffer.<br> <br> Mint green guard, parchment knobs and covers, Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, Kluson tuners, I carved the nut out of bone, dressed the neck and polished the frets myself. Got a case from Elderly Instruments in Lansing, MI.<br> <br> I made the T. H. Redding Guitars logo on the back of the headstock using Photoshop, waterslide decal paper, and a clear glossy sealer.<br> <br> If anyone is interested, I have pictures documenting each day's accomplishments.<br> <br> tredding@neo.rr.com Mat Meyer<br />Heres a shot of my first Warmoth project. I started with a Brazilian rosewood Warmoth Pro neck from the showcase. I had it fretted with stainless steel frets SS6105 and fitted with a Graphtec nut. Its mated to a 1piece lightweight swamp ash body 3lbs, 5 oz with a Mary Kay finish. Bill Callaham provided the enhanced vintage bridge, neck plate, and a prewired pickguard with a blender pot. The pickups are the Fralins that he recommends. For aesthetic reasons, I swapped the pickguard Callaham provided with a Warmoth guard in tortoise celluloid, with matching trem cover. I bought a set of Gotoh locking tuners with adjustable posts from Brian Calvert at Universal Jems. Ive used these for a vintage vibe with no string trees. All the parts are top quality, and the guitar sounds better than any other strat Ive heard. The rosewood neck gives a darker, warmer, less stident tone with tremendous articulation its not muddy or shrill. Best of all, everyone Ive dealt with during this project has been great. The best recommendation I can give is that Im doing it all again, with stat number 2 on the way.

Chris Borne<br />This is my second project. I used a AAA Birdseye maple neck with vintage finish on a chambered body. The quilt and finish on that body is incredible! Green abalone inlays, and gold fret wire. I prefer to use gold hardware in my guitar projects. Notice the left-handed tremolo, my salute to one of Texas'' finest, SRV! <br/><br/> <br/><br/> The Texas Special pickups sound great on the chambered body, but they're not quite the sound I was hoping for. I'll keep looking, but I enjoy playing it too much to stop and work on it again. Action is phenomenal. This guitar has become my Mark McQuaid<br />Pretty much everyone I talk too says Korina is a very sweet sounding wood. I have a Korina Explorer, and wondered what a chambered Korina guitar would sound like .... So I built one. White Korina body with nothing but clear coat. Matching neck with an ebony fretboard make it look like one piece of wood. Wilkinson Trem, with Sperzel tuners and graphite nut. Pretty straight forward. Duncan JB in the bridge and Quarter pounders in the middle and neck. One toggle to split the JB. Sounds just awesome, and it's about 4 lbs lighter than my solid body of the same design. It's great on the back too !! Gary Coole<br /> Bill Panzarella<br />Here are pictures of my first Warmoth project. Splated maple top with a swamp ash body. As you can see, the neck is extremely-figured birdseye. Hardware is an original Floyd Rose, Seymour Duncan TB-4 and Hot Rails.

Due to the light resonant body, the tone and playability of this guitar are absolutely stunning. Right now the guitar is equiped with 2 Dimarzio VV's and a SD JB, but I sometimes use another Dimarzio Virtual Vintage in the bridge (with a s-s-s pickguard from Warmoth), thanks to the Warmoth custom routing option. It's also equiped with a L.R. Baggs X-Bridge, which turns on when the 2nd tone knob is pulled up. The brige fit right in, like a glove!<br><br> Congratulations on another job well done.<br><br> Regards,<br><br> David Lange<br />Hello, Warmoth,<br><br> I want to thank all at Warmoth who helped me with my guitar project.<br><br> The parts supplied by you were outstanding in quality. I've been playing for 14 years and had a PRS for 9 of them. It's now an ebay memory. My goal was to build a strat that had a warm look, bright sound, and a little more heft than normal but not quite as much as an LP. I started with a 2 piece walnut body (looks like one piece though), walnut neck with an ebody fretboard from the showcase, Wilkinson trem, Planet Waves tuners, and 50's style pickups. I did some final sanding, sealed the walnut, and put a few coats of satin nitro on it and I now have a guitar that I would die if it were lost or stolen. I simply can't believe the quality of tone this thing produces.Lange<br><br> Thanks Again,<br><br> Fred Pedemonti<br />Hi, we spoke about my offset Floyd nut. I talked to Craig and I am going to fix it on my own. He asked me to send pics for your gallery and a few word about the guitar, but I forgot his email address, can you forward this to him please.<br><br> This Guitar is a AAAAA quilt maple drop top in a custom honeyburst, mahogany back with cream binding and contured heal.

He's pretty pleased with it, and I want to thank everyone at Warmoth for great products, and excellent advice during the build of the project. This was the first guitar I have built, and you made it a great experience for me.<br><br> The guitar began life as a sale body - HSP288, a hollow body swamp ash Strat in candy Tangerine, and a sale neck -SN777 Bird's eye Maple, with a flame Koa veneer on the headstock, and a Pau Ferro fingerboard. The guitar looks gorgeous, and with a set of Bill Lawrence pick-ups installed, it sounds great too! Loads of sustain and tone, and a wide range of sounds, helped by the Bill Lawrence Q-Filter in the bridge 'bucker's circuit. Everything fitted together beautifully, and it all worked well, once I tracked down a dry solder joint!<br><br> Again, your advice, help and service were much appreciated, and I'm pretty proud of my first attempt at building an instrument. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again - I hope to back as a customer soon.<br><br> Best Wishes Tim Gill<br />First off thanks to Warmoth for being on the ball and lending to an enjoyable first time build. The guitar sports a CBS birdseye and ebony neck with a strat wild maple/swamp ash body. The Sperzel tuners and Wilkinson trem stay in tune quite well. Duncan Jazz and Dimebucker sound well together, a bit trebley perhaps, but so smooth. It goes from clean bell tones to a heavy crisp bite. I was totally impressed. I taught myself to solder and wired it up perfectly. I had a great time putting it all together, and would recommend it to anyone. It was well worth it and I can't wait to start a new one.<br><br> Cheers. Aleksi <br />Special thanks to guys in Warmoth. I just got a little piece of heaven deliverd in my home. Body is hollow black korina and neck is birdseye maple with brazilian rosewood fretboard. Wilkinson tremolo and kluson tuners all from Warmoth. Pickups are assembled and made by Mr. Matti Nevalainen.

Details: The body is hollow swamp ash with a fantastic quilt maple top finished in bright blue dye. The neck is Warmoth modern construction in eyepopping birdseye maple with Brazilian rosewood board. The grain of the rosewood is incredibly straight and even - much nicer than many "custom shop" guitars I've seen lately. Stainless frets, too. It feels great! Overall Warmoth's wood, work, fit and finish is beautiful and flawless. I installed Lace chrome dome pickups, Wilkinson vibrato, Earvana nut and Planet Waves locking tuners. I wired it with two push pots according to "The guitar Lover's" at www.guitarnuts.com. A homemade inkjet waterslide decal finished it off.

The sound: It just goes pop! Notes have an immediate attack and great sustain. Tonally I went with some pretty standard woods so it does sound like a great classic with hot pickups. The versatile switching lets me get some nice twang AND humbucking sounds out of it, too. The hollow body is light and resonant and I'd better stop here or I'll just keep going and going.

Thanks to Billy Leach and Bob Randolph for helping me plan such a great axe.

Leicester, UK " height="425px" width="200px" img_w="262" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> Sebastien B<br />White Guitar This was my first custom made guitar and came out very nicely, it has a short-scale conversion neck with ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets 6105. The vintage white body is made of solid hard ash which is rather heavy but gives it a long sustaining tone. The pickups are traditional gold Lace pickups with special wiring to allow out of phase and bridge in series, it gives a wide panel of interesting tones. Flame Guitar This one is my favorite, I want to thank Warmoth's people for their patience, always answering nicely the MANY questions I had regarding the choice of parts that led to this all flamed Guitar. The body from the showcase is a very light and resonant chambered body, it features a highly flamed maple top. The showcase neck is also highly flamed and has 6105 stainless steel frets, I put installed Gold lace pickups with TBX pot and routed the body (gosh was I scared to mess up this incredible top!!!)to accomodate a 25db Mid-boost. My goal was to get the look, feel and sound of one of Eric's Clapton guitars that he auctioned in 1999. This Guitar is incredible for blues, this is one that I will keep for a very long time to come! Sebastien B. Leicester, UK Sebastien B<br />The Pewter S. guitar is also a EC guitar which got an exotic facelift using a very special Ziricote/Birdseye maple neck from the showcase section, this neck has 6104 frets with Ziricote peghead veneer and mother of pearl dots. I finished it with nitrocellulose high gloss lacquer and set it up with a bone nut and Kluson tuners, the stock 1-ply white pickguard and tremolo cover were replaced with an abalone pickguard and tremolo cover, the look is astonishing even though it's hard to capture on anypicture.<br><br> Best regards, Keith Bolve Bolves<br />Hey guys! Here are my second and third Warmoth projects. The first is a Candy Apple Red beauty with an extremely flamed Warmoth neck and abalone inlays. The body and neck both came from the Showcase. The second always stops 'em dead in their tracks. It is a AAAAA flame maple-topped sunburst work of art! It has a Warmoth maple neck with ebony fretboard, and let me tell you, they both turn heads like a bikini on broadway! And, of course, they sing like angels and scream like, well anyway...without Warmoth, we'd all be stuck with BORING guitars!<br><br> Thanks for everything.

All parts are very high-quality, and their finishes are exquisite. Their staff was very helpful and knowledgeable; they guided me through every step of the process. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. This guitar is the result. It's a beautiful instrument and it plays and sounds fabulous. If you were skeptical about building a custom James Richmond<br />May I introduce the Dragon!<br><br> I bought the body of this guitar in a Pawn shop in Sydney (where I am from) in 1988. Over the years I have modified and customised it to suit- it is a real franken...<br><br> The body is from a mid 70's Japanese Aria- body wood is Ash. The dragon on the body is carved. The bridge comes from a PRS Custom- I worked in a guitar shop and some tool swapped it for a Floyd Rose- I was happy to take from him. PRS told me that you can only get a replacement if you send back your faulty PRS bridge- so perhaps this is a complete one off? The neck is a Warmoth SRV shape with jumbo frets.<br><br> Pickups are PRS Dragons.<br> The scratchplate was handcut.<br> Machine heads are Gotoh locking.<br> The switch on the bottom (near the tone controls) is a kill switch. I have deliberately left the body unfinished -- the contrast between the dragon carving, the rest of the body and the scratchplate I find aesthetically pleasing.<br><br> This guitar has been a labour of love for the last 15 years and it plays like a dream.<br><br> Regards,<br><br> BP Plickner<br />Here's a picture of my sonic blue over swamp ash Warmoth. The warmoth compound radius neck has awesome flame. It is almost hypnotic to look at. It has Chubtone Pickups that are wired through a 5 way switch with a blender pot and it is a great playing and sounding guitar. Rex Kantatan<br />Thanks to William who was helping me to select this rare 'One Piece AAAAA Flame Maple' body. These strips are all the way around the whole body. With Flame Maple Neck and Brazilian Finger Board to warm up the sound just a bit. Excellent wood work on both body and neck. They fits like a glove. The finished was just incredible.<br><br> These set of humbuckers are custom made from Tom Holmes, sound like vintage Gibson.<br><br> Thanks to Warmoth & Tom Carl Luevano<br />I've alway's wanted to spoil myself with a custom guitar. The prices I encountered were more than I wanted to spend and so I alway's kept putting it off. I met a guitar player that was really into building Warmoth and after seeing his guitar's, I was ready to have my dream guitar built by Warmoth.

" height="425px" width="200px" img_w="207" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> Alistair Martin<br />This is the first Warmoth guitar I've built although I'm sure not the last. The body is mahogany, with a flame maple neck and a beautiful Ziricote fretboard with Abalone inlays. I sprayed the guitar in as close as possible to Fenders vintage white which just so happens to be almost exactly the same colour as the parchment pickup covers and pots (more luck than judgement!) The pick guard is mint which gives an interesting colour contrast and a more immediate vintage appearance.Reading other players reviews I've opted for the Earvana nut which is as good as everyone says - the guitar sounds more naturally tuneful and it's also childs play to fit. Pickups are courtesy of a local UK Luthier - they have a monstrous output that coupled with the denser mahogany body makes the guitar have a very defined thick sound. I've got a USA Strat, an Ibanez Satriani and a Les Paul Classic and this guitar is the most playable guitar I've ever got my hands on - my advice to anyone out there considering a project guitar is go for it - its fun, you'll have a unique guitar built exactly to your own spec and you will save money. This cost me about ? 700 inc the import tax whilst my new Fender USA cost me ?650 and the Warmoth is the one I play 99% of the time.<br><br> Thanks guys for an excellant product and service; I'm already drawing up plans for guitar #2. Craig Roeder<br />
This is my 4th. or 5th. Warmoth project, and by far the most significant to date. I built this totally custom guitar in May 2005 as a presentation instrument (gift) for world-renowned female blues guitarist Debbie Davies. Presented it to her June 11 at the end of her gig. "I am just overwhelmed.....," she said. As you can tell, I have been a fan of hers since her days with the late Albert Collins' band, and through her recent receiving of the W.C. Handy musicians award.

Body is Warmoth swamp ash, finished by Warmoth in a stunning white transparent, "Mary Kay Burst." Features incl. Warmoth custom pickguard & trem. cover, Callaham trem. unit, pickups by Kent Armstrong (P90,) Pete Bilthoft (V.V.G. custom-wound Strat pickup,) and Gotoh bridge humbucker. Gotoh locking (height adjust. post) vintage-style tuners, volume-kit, and finished off with DR "Pure Blues" .009-.046 strings.

First I would like to thank you for a fantastic custom routed body. It worked out more beautifully in my custom project than I had ever imagined. Compliments all around. The project itself consists mainly of: a black Warmoth strat body routed for H-H-H config, side jack and battery box, a Moses Graphite neck (recommended... FAST + sustain to the sky), Schaller locking tuners, EMG's 81, 60 and 85, a Gotoh Wilkinson bridge, and a Sharp Concepts brushed aluminium scratchplate (pickguard). I usually don't brag?but I will. This is the best guitar I have played, and it was made possible by your amazing crew.

Thanks again, Warmoth! " height="425px" width="200px" img_w="182" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> Bill Lima<br />This is my first Warmoth guitar, I bought it in 2000 and originally a friend of mine, Rob Di Stefano, applied a translucent black finish on it. I immediately fell in love with the guitar and it replaced my 1976 Gibson Explorer as my main guitar. I've used this guitar on countless gigs and sessions and after years of heavy use, I decided it was finally time to refinish it. This time, another friend of mine, Victor Licausi, finished it in Alpine White. I also wanted to make sure I had the Warmoth logo put on the headstock this time, because I am so proud of owning a Warmoth guitar!<br><br> The guitar has a Swamp Ash body, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and Standard Thin back profile. Pickups are a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom and two Armstrong single coils. Only the master volume is actually wired but I keep all the 3 pots on the pickguard just to keep the standard strat look. This is the best looking, sounding and playing guitar I've ever owned.<br><br> I compared it to many high end boutique guitars, nothing can beat the feel and sound of this Warmoth.<br><br> Brian Frazier<br />Finally got my guitar together, maple neck, vintage bridge, Texas Specials with volume, tone, and a blender pot. Fantastic playing and sounding guitar and everyone I have shown it to is astounded at the dyed maple top. It is a beautiful guitar.<br><br> Thanks for all your help. Warmoth is top notch?..looking forward to the next one. Chuck Dardas<br />You are looking at a beautiful instrument that was assembled with 100% Warmoth parts.

I purchased this body from the showcase and had Warmoth place a tobacco burst finish. The flame maple top is beautiful and the finish is perfect. I placed an original Floyd Rose trem with an EVH D-tuner. The bridge pick-up is a Dimarzio Evolution and I used the neck from an older guitar. Hoping to get a compound radius Warmoth neck soon.

This baby has a fiesta red swamp ash body fitted with Schaller strap locks; Warmoth Pro birds eye maple neck with white binding and abalone dots; Gotoh side neck adjustment; nickel 6230 frets; satin finish; LSR roller nut and Planet Waves locking tuning machines with built in string trimming. It is fitted with a Fender Standard tremolo and Hipshot tremsetter and the best part?.. Kinman pickups on a white single ply pickguard using the Kinman K7 wiring which mixes the neck pickup with the bridge and centre pickup in three of the five switch positions. The tonal range available is just exquisite and the pickups are simply the best!

The guitar had to have a name, so it is called "Shadow" - naturally. I have developed a unique logo for it which is applied to the headstock, guitar strap and is also engraved on the neck plate.

I am delighted with this guitar. It is everything I hoped it would be and I have got much more guitar for my money than if I had just gone out and purchased a stock guitar. In addition, I had a lot of fun building it, meeting the challenges and figuring out how to do things from scratch for the first time. I have only one concern?.. I think that this is a very addictive hobby?. Thanks to all at Warmoth who did such a fabulous job in creating the parts and providing good support.

" height="425px" width="200px" img_w="170" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> Tam & Dave <br />I would like to thank Warmoth for the finest guitar I have ever owned. I now own the guitar I always wanted. Assembly was very easy. Everthing just bolted up. The body is a hollow body with swamp ash back and quilted maple top with one F hole. For the pickups I decided to go with a pro's choice and chose the David Gilmore (Pink Floyd) EMG pickup set. I chose to install a tunomatic bridge with a stop tail piece. The neck is a Warmoth Pro. The neck wood is flame maple with an ebony fretboard. I also had pearl binding and pearl diamond inlays added to the neck. The top nut is corian and the tuners are Gotoh. Jason Shaffer<br />Dear Warmoth, about ten months ago I was really bummed out with my current guitar at the time. I was spending a lot of time in the guitar shops in Virginia beach and Norfolk VA looking for a guitar that had the perfect sound. I was getting frustrated, because the only guitars I liked, I couldn't afford. So one day I was watching the Weezer DVD that a friend of mine bought and noticed that River Cuomo was playing a very odd looking guitar. It was sonic blue, with a tortoise pickguard, a cream colored neck humbucker and a black bridge pickup. The bridge was a non tremolo bridge and the head of the neck had no markings on it at all. I was so intrigued by this guitar with an awesome crunchy sound and flashy look to it, so I went over to Weezer's website and looked up what I could about River's guitar. It turns out it was a guitar project River's started from none other than Warmoth! Well, after a little investigating, I figured out what exactly I wanted. I decided to make a not quite exact replica of River's sonic blue guitar.<br><br> For the neck I had maple with a rosewood fingerboard finished with a clear satin finish. Gotoh tuners, and 6105 nickel frets with a graphite nut slotted and installed by you guys. The body was a slab of mahogany with the sonic blue finish. I decided mahogany because I really like the way Gibson mahogany guitars sound, so I decided I'd go for the classic look with a Gibson-esque sound. I had it routed for H-S-H, just incase one day I felt froggy and wanted to put in an extra pickup. For the bridge I choose the Narrow Spaced bridge. I never use the tremolo on my other guitar, so I decided it was completely unnessecary for this guitar. The pickguard is just like River's, tortoise with a 3way lever switch, and two knobs, cut for just an H-X-H config. I remember reading that Rivers used a Black Ice capacitor unit on his tone knob instead of a regular cap, so I decided why not have both? So I ordered a push pull knob for my tone control, and put a black ice and a .047 cap on it. The pickups are a cream colored Dimarzio Super Distortion DP-1 in the neck, and a Duncan 59' Humbucker SH-1b in the bridge. The wiring was pretty simple, just took me a small while to figure out the 3 way lever switch, had to go online for help there, but in the end I got it wired up right. The picture has the sonic blue
I want to thank my old man for helping me with the wiring as well. Without him, it wouldn't be working right now. I also want to thank Warmoth for building the body and the neck, and giving me inspiration to make my own guitar. I have another LP project in the works, mahogany with a spalt maple top maybe? Anyways the guitar screams! Thanks for everything!

Well, heres the final product.let me know if you do decide to put it on your site so I can go look and send a link to my tech.we are all right proud of it.<br><br> Thanks and God bless, Rick Wilson<br />This is my first Warmoth project, modeled after a '62 using all Warmoth parts. It is a hollow walnut body finished in clear, that I picked finished from the showcase (3lbs. 9 oz). Neck is total vintage construction finished in vintage yellow, fatback Birdseye maple, with Brazilian Rosewood fret board. I had to order this neck, but it is my favorite neck now. Pickups are 2 Duncan hot rails, and one Duncan cool rail in the middle. Sounds similar to a LP with a P-90 in the middle. Tone is incredibly smooth, warm and mellow, great for clean jazz tones in the neck, especially with the tone knob on 5. It is critical to use 500K pots with these pickups, because they are humbuckers. I also have a push/push tone knob to get bridge/neck combination. Walnut brings out very balanced highs also, it is an incredibly beautiful tone wood, especially for jazz.<br><br> This is the best sounding guitar I have ever owned or played. It immediately led to my second Warmoth. I ordered these two guitars both in a 4 month period.<br><br> This is my second Warmoth project modeled after a 57', using all Warmoth parts. Hollow Swamp Ash body picked out from the showcase (3 lbs. 9 oz), I had it finished in Black/Brown/Yellow. The maple fatback neck is finished in vintage yellow. Completed with EMG David Gilmore pick-ups. This guitar is so beautiful; I can sit and just look at it for hours. And it sounds better than it looks!<br><br> I recently went with Rio Grande pickups for a vintage tone with attitude. Rob Craig<br />This is my second Warmoth guitar.

(I think I've built the world's ugliest 12 String electric, but it sounds good).<br><br> Cheers<br><br> Thanks for everything, Todd Sukany<br />This is my latest guitar. It is a Warmoth Hollow guitar (thanks Garrett Baker!). It is made with mahogany and purpleheart. The neck is purpleheart and ebony (w/ abalone dots). It has SD pickups (Hots and a Quarterpounder).

Steve Eiben<br />I would like to see about getting a pic of my guitar on your web site. I bought a vintage Birdseye maple neck from you, and thought my ol crusty 94 MIM could make an appearance on the site. Although it's not so crusty any more. I did the paint work my self, its a custom mixed color put together by myself and the boys at the paint shop. It has Duncan HotRails Bridge and Neck with a Duncan Vintage Rail in the middle. The neck is a righty but I am a lefty! It plays and sounds like a dream. Let me know if you think it's good enough to make an appearance.<br><br> Thank you, Robert Schnitzler<br />This is my first - but most likely not my last - Warmoth project. I always wanted a guitar that is beautiful- unusual in appearance, with a very slim neck and a Floyd Rose. What you see here is a spalt-maple laminated top on a mahagoni body. Black drop top binding. Contour heel neck pocket. The neck is a wizzard shape Explorer headstock flame maple neck. Ebony fretboard. 6130 frets. Mother of pearl dot inlays. The nut is a R3 (a bit wider than normal) locking nut. Keys are Schaller minis. Finish is clear gloss on the body and clear satin on the neck. No tints, to allow the wood to show its natural beauty. The guitar has a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo. The pickup is an EMG 89, which is very similar to a 85 but has a push-pull pot to allow single coil action. The guitar came our even nicer than I thought. I had it assembled by an expert luthier here in Indianapolis (Ben Taylor - Thanks, Ben!). He was full of praise for the quality of the parts. No fret work needed. The neck pocket fitted perfectly out of the box, very minor woodwork to make the jack socket fit. The sound: amazing sustain - Les Paul like. When played clean it is crisp and every single note comes out sharp and clear. Played through a JCM-800... What can I say? Awesome punch and power paired with lots of sustain. Thanks to Bill Cook for all the help and advice. From placing the order to receiving the parts well packed and protected all the way to playing the thing right now... a very pleasant project. Jim Smoltz<br />Just wanted to send a picture of the guitar I just finished. I'm involved with a early DLR era based Van Halen tribute band, so I needed a pretty realistic EVH guitar to play the part. I turned to Warmoth. It's a pseudo replica of EVH's 1984 Kramer 5150 guitar. The neck is to the specs of the Peavey Wolfgang. Pickup is a Seymour Duncan JB. It's also sporting a peavey wolfgang Floyd Rose licensed non floating trem. This guitar plays and sounds unreal! My expectations of this Warmoth born axe have been exceeded!<br><br> Thanks to William and Greg for all the technical help. Warmoth - great products, great people. David Khorsandi<br />To all at Warmoth,<br><br> Here's a couple of latest Warmoth projects. As you can tell, I'm one of many who still believes in the magic of Eddie Van Halen.

The bridge is a gotoh vintage 6 hole and pickups are a hot rails in the bridge position and 2 stock delta tones with no load tone pot.

It's an alder body, with a bound maple neck, and rosewood board. I painted it myself with ReRanch Nitro Daphne Blue. with matching Headstock. The pickups are Vintage Vibe replacements. This guitar has a sound that when pushed through my Fender Deluxe Reverb Black face can't be matched by anything. Thanks to all for their patience and help with selection. John L. Kokel<br />This is a photo of my custom tiger guitar, a bit of a tribute to George Lynch, with a little of the scalloped Malmsteen that I prefer.<br><br> The neck is 100% Warmoth, from the birdseye maple and fully-scalloped fingerboard to the chrome hardware. It is 22 frets, with 1 11/16th nut-width and a slightly fat feel, but is still very fast, thanks to the scalloping, compound radius and the silky-smooth finish. My Fender Yngwie strats have the CBS headstocks, and I thought of doing that here, but I think it would have been too vintage for the look of this guitar. I'm glad I went with the contemporary Strat headstock after all.<br><br> The bridge, hardware, and pickups on the body are Warmoth as well. Chrome humbucker plate, Floyd Rose bridge, and Seymour Duncan pickups. Screamin' Demon at the bridge, and Hot Rails in the single positions. The knobs are actually red, blue and green, bottom to top, to go with the finish, and each controls volume for its respective pickup. I rarely use pots for tone control. Someday I may install red, blue and green pickups to really finish the awful
When I've dealt with Warmoth, they've been quite helpful. I've usually had my grocery list in hand for the parts I need, but the folks I talk to know enough to ask the right questions and guide me accordingly. I recall one instance where I didn't realize I almost bought the shorter neck-mounting screws for angled heels, and the rep caught it and switched me into the full-length screws which turned out to be what I needed. Mail Order catalogs don't do that, but friendly and experienced people do.

Thanks again for supporting my healthy obsession, on my quest to build the perfect instrument. jlk101@hotmail.com " height="425px" width="200px" img_w="161" img_h="425" style="height:425px; width:200px;"/> John Naumann<br />It is affectionately know as the Charles Loiselle<br />Finished my project and it came out great. This is a mahogany bodied strat with a quilted maple top, and a one-piece rosewood neck. I finished the body with blue stain (darker on the mahogany) and nitro lacquer. The neck is raw (okay with rosewood only!) Pickguard is flamed maple veneered onto plastic--a great look for top-routed guitars with figured wood. Pickups are Carvin Ap-11's. Looks great, plays great and sounds fantastic. Mark A. Ford<br />This is my favorite guitar of all time. This is a sw ash body from the Showcase. It is finished in translucent turquoise with a pearloid pickguard that holds a Tom Anderson H-3 in the bridge, a Duncan lil' 59 in the middle, and a Dimarzio PAF Pro in the neck position. It also has a Dimarzio MEGASWITCH to make some cool configurations. The neck is birdseye with an Ebony fingerboard. It has 6105 frets and the Ibanez Contour. So if your looking for a cool lefty guitar, look no further than the Warmoth Custom Shop. Scott Nalick<br />The Process: This is my first Warmoth effort. I spent time up front considering components, wood choices and tonal qualities, burst/grain etc? Kudo's to Jay/Warmoth for patience helping me weigh alternatives. I was VERY uncomfortable buying sight unseen that my expectations might not be met, and all worked out perfectly! I am demanding in wanting to know risks up front and the likelihood of getting what I want. Jay hung in there with me to the point I could commit financially? although I sense it came close for Jay? ;-) Body: Swamp ash body with a AAAA book matched flamed maple top. I paid extra to specify grain pattern and flame detail, and received what I asked for. I opted for back routing to show off the wood/finish and am glad. I did not want thick black edges many bursts have, so specified a The unfinished Padouk neck, Ebony fretboard and SS frets feel awesome. I wish I had SS6105 rather than SS6115 frets to give more finger room in the high frets. The narrow bridge feels better all around. Going hardtail was the best decision ever, as it sustains forever and sounds like an acoustic guitar when unplugged! The Padouk neck warms the tone slightly compared to typical maple, despite what I had read on Warmoth about Padouk being similar to Maple. The clean tone is VERY full and warm, yet on gain channels this thing still bites and sings. I used top luthier Gary Brawer who did the highe$t quality work but was not time responsive, taking about 5 weeks to piece it all together. This has been a very rewarding experience, the results are awesome.

The Bart inlay: I conjured up a picture of Bart that I really liked (wait till you see the next one?.he he) and had to draw it a couple of times to get the right spacing over the frets. Once that was done, I picked out a neck from the Showcase that wasn't fretted yet, and went to work. I had a lot of help from the crew and it turned out AWESOME and plays like a dream. Soon I will have an MP3 on my site (www.flatratstudios.com) so everyone can hear the Bratocaster in action.

This guitar features a Mahogany body with 3-colour sunburst and a Floyd Rose tremolo. It has 3 Seymour Duncan
This is the most versatile guitar I own. With the single coils activated, it gives a classic glassy Stratocaster sound. But with the humbuckers selected, it generates a warm Gibson-like crunch.

It took about 6 months to plan and build and I had to be patient as the new wood settled in. But the results have been well worth the effort. Thanks to Warmoth for the superb craftsmanship!

I built my first guitar in high school over 20 years ago with several since. On a whim, I decided that I needed to get the creative juices flowing again by building another one and I got a little silly with the idea of what to do. I've always been a Van Halen fan so Eddie's guitar was an attractive idea. (Funny how, even with Jeremy Gustafson<br />This is my second warmoth guitar, I ordered an unfinished alder body and b.eye maple/rosewood neck and had a local guitar tech nitro-laquer it. I have stainless steel frets and torres pickups installed. I hope to have more warmoth strats built in the future.<br><br> Thanks. Hyun Joon Shin<br />Hi.<br><br> I am very please to submit my Warmoth guitar to the customer gallery.<br><br> Included is the picture of my Warmoth.<br><br> Comment:<br><br> This is my first Warmoth guitar built. I wanted to build a guitar with vintage tone and feel featuring modern technology. Of course, it equips a vintage construction with modern features neck made of beautiful flamed maple. The ash body is hollowed and painted with Mary Kay white. Several distinct features include Gotoh vintage tremolo, AGI-Lace holy-grail pickups, Gotoh vintage locking tuners, TUSQ nut, and custom wiring with two push-pull pots. Although all I had done on this guitar was just selecting right parts and assembling, it plays and sounds exactly as I expected. Neck feels very smooth with soft v back shape and stainless steel frets. The body and other parts faithfully reproduce the tone of vintage axes. I was truly surprised with the workmanship of Warmoth: the neck pocket is perfect and it keeps the neck in the place even without screws! I hope there is an easy to describe how the hollow body sounds. Only thing I can say is it is really resonant and sounds good.<br><br> Thank you very much for your nice product. Clint McBride<br />This is my first Warmoth project, and i couldnt be happier! it features a swamp ash body with a transparent butterscotch blonde finish, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, medium-jumbo frets, '59 Roundback countour and a hardtail bridge. Electronics include a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell in the neck, 2 volumes, 1 tone and a 3-way switch, soldered and assembled by yours truely. This guitar plays and sounds like a dream. Thanks so much, Warmoth, for your help with this guitar and you outstanding products. Jason Khzouz<br />This guitar was completed in June, all parts besides pickups and tremolo were ordered from Warmoth. It is a hollow body(chambered) swamp ash guitar. All three pickups are Dimarzio. The bridge is a Fastrack 2 and the middle and neck are Choppers. Its got 6105 stainless steel frets on a maple neck (Wizard) with an ebony fretboard. Note the great skull and cross bones! Very cool.<br><br> I recently got the 50's
The tone is phenomenal. Better than any guitar I have ever picked up in my 15 years of playing. Sustain for days. I have one volume and one "overall" tone pot (both at 500k) with a splitter switch in the third position to get that sweet single coil bell tone.

Alton Johnson<br />This is my first (but not last) Warmoth project. Two years ago for Christmas I received a 1988 Kramer Pacer guitar in Flip Flop Blue, which was purchasd on eBay.<br><br> I loved the guitar, however the body had a few minor (and some major) dings and belt scratches, and the color wasn't a brilliant blue as I like. So I decided to keep the Kramer neck and all the other Pacer parts and replace the body with a Warmoth body, I searched through the Warmoth Showcase items and found this beautiful body in Candy Blue.<br><br> I love it ! it might be difficult to tell from the picture, but the paint job has a sparkle paint finish, which looks really cool in person.<br><br> The Black Pearl pickguard is also from Warmoth.<br><br> If you like your current guitar, but want a little more exciting look to it, I strongly recommend replacing a body, or even a new pickguard will brighten up any guitar.<br><br> For my next guitar project, I will use exclusively Warmoth parts, body, neck, everything. I can't wait !! It's really neat to be able to build your own guitar from quality parts that Warmoth produces.<br> Benny Pitsinger<br />Here are some photos of a Warmoth guitar that I recently finished. The body is swamp ash with an alder top that I purchased unfinished. The painting was done with nitro lacquer in authentic Fender colors from Guitar Reranch. It has a Warmoth 1 5/8
This is the fifth guitar I have built and the third Warmoth. Now I won't use any other bodies or necks. I would love to see it displayed on your web site!

There are countless images showing exactly how I made this guitar in just about 3-4 months very simply and while learning what to do. Probably like you, I did not have a clue of how to make a guitar, let alone a world class instrument, but it was actually not hard to do at all and I have a guitar that features the best there is, without the custom shop price!<br><br> Here's the specification:<br><br> * 22 Fret Neck very heavily figured throughout<br> * Custom Radius setup which eliminates choking off<br> * Custom made pickups - some of the finest in the world<br> * Industry standard tremolo system as 62 guitar<br> * Adjustable truss rod, while the neck is fitted<br> * Louisiana Swamp ash body and maple top (the real thing)<br> * Hollowed and lightened body cavities for reduced weight<br> * Dream Custom Purple finish<br> * Custom wiring<br> * Custom Case<br> * Strap locks as standard (the way it should be)<br> * Best playability on the planet<br> * Best sounding guitar in the world!<br> * Cost less than ?700 in the UK with brand new parts<br> This instrument is NOT a copy Guitar, although there are many components included that are used on standard guitars.<br><br> Well, as you can see, this is one cool piece of gear. I've had lots of guitars over the years, from deluxe, standard, super guitar, the 'dreamguitar'*, a 62 guitar and simply too many more to mention. One thing is for sure, no matter what money you pay, it's likely that this guitar beats them all, hands down and at a fraction of the cost of the relics etc - who wants a beat up guitar anyway.<br><br> I sincerely hope that I inspires you too to make your own guitar and see exactly how cool these guitars can be. There is little doubt, that with a bit of patience and time then you too can make a guitar that can be as cool as anything in the whole world - especially with YOUR input. I guess you know how much that would cost in a custom shop.<br><br> I truly hope you enjoy this site - it has been developed over long hours to bring my experiences to you.<br><br> Domenico <br />Hi everyone!<br><br> This is my first custom guitar with genuine Warmoth parts and quickly became my favourite one!<br><br> This is wonderful and gorgeous to play even more than to see birdsey maple neck and fitted in a Japan reissue basswood body. Tone is full, meaty and crisp. Cleans shine and dirty sounds are full and articulates. Warmoth parts transformed my average guitar in a tone machine. Pickups are DiMarzio Virtual Vintage 2.1 and Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates at bridge. I also bought from Warmoth the beautiful white pearl pickguard, the three knobs and machine heads. Everything is perfect and my dream guitar became reality.<br><br> I am so happy that have planned to put together another custom strat with Warmoth parts. Quality is top notch, along with customer service!<br> Thank you guys! Jim Phelps<br />Dear friends at Warmoth:<br><br> This is my Warmoth guitar, completed in September 2003. I didn't send a photo until now because I can't get a photo that does it justice. Still can't, but I'm sending it anyway.<br><br> This guitar is hollow with Koa body and bookmatched flame Koa top. It has Rio Grande pickups, graphite nut, aged pearl pickguard, Wilkinson/Gotoh trem, locking Shaller/Gotoh mini tuners, all gold-plated hardware. All parts were ordered from Warmoth except the pickups and tophat knobs. The neck is lightly figured maple with Pau Ferro fingerboard, jumbo frets & fatback neck contour. Both the neck and body are finished with clear lacquer.<br><br> The neck and body fit together perfectly, the pre-drilled neck mounting holes in the neck and body were dead-on, the strings go right down the middle of the neck, and that's an area where I'm very picky. This Warmoth is excellent in all regards, and I'm hard to impress.<br><br> I used to keep a list of all the guitars I'd owned, stopped counting when it reached 125, that was 25 years ago. This Warmoth sounds as good as any I've ever owned, including 2 original 1962s by the well-known manufacturer starting with an
I totally recommend Warmoth to anyone who wants the finest quality guitar, especially to those who have specific requirements regarding neck width, shape, hardware, particular woods for their own special sound, etc. If you know what you want in a guitar and know a little about setting one up, if you can put together a barbeque you can put together a Warmoth guitar. If you can't do a finish or solder the electronics, you can buy them pre-finished and pre-wired. I've never had a higher-quality guitar, and I've had a LOT of them.

The only thing left of this guitar is the neck! The neck was stripped to the bare maple, filled with walnut grain filler to darken the light maple, and finished with 10 thin coats of lacquer. The Warmoth Walnut body received a hand rubbed oil finish. The Warmoth Gregg Nickens<br /> Here are my 2 custom built Lefty Guitar. The Surf Green Guitar is constructed as follows: Warmoth Alder body (under 4lbs. unfinished), Surf Green nitrocellulose finish, Bernie Hefner/Edenhaus AAA Flame Maple 21 fret neck (fatback neck contour), bass frets; vintage radius and nut width; bone nut, vintage klusons, vintage lefty bridge, Set of Seymour Duncan SSL-1R Vintage Staggered (Right) pups. The Mary Kaye is constructed as follows: Warmoth Swamp Ash body (also under 4lbs. unfinished), Warmoth Vintage Mary Kaye finish, Warmoth AAAA Birdseye Maple 22 fret neck; compound radius; boatneck contour; vintage nut width, vintage finish, bone nut, vintage lefty bridge, vintage klusons, Set of Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot (Lefty) Staggered pups (custom wound and signed by Seymour himself). If you're a lefty (like myself), I find that it's a lot easier and cheaper to build a custom with Warmoth to your specifications w/o paying the ludicrous price (average of $2200 U.S.D these days), these 2 guitars cost me anywhere from $800-$900 a piece, even with exotic wood necks. I'll build my custom lefty guitars all day long at this price before I ever go through any other maker.

I bought a Warmoth Black-White-Black vinyl pickguard, some barrell knobs, and other hardware parts from Warmoth to put in another guitar that I recieved from my brother. With the help of a relative I had to repaint it because of some major imperfections and it looks awesome now with my new Warmoth pickguard. The paint was expensive, but it looks great and the picture doesn't really do it justice. I went with the dual humbucker pickup setup mainly because my first guitar had a three single coil pickup setup and I wanted a little change. I ended up putting in a Duncan Performer Buckshot for the neck pickup and a Mighty Mite Motherbucker for the bridge pickup. Both of the pickups have the heavy rock sound I was looking for and they sound great together. Anyone who has built a custom guitar knows that it can become very expensive, but thanks to Warmoth I received the high quality parts that I needed for a price that I could afford. I am very happy with my guitar and it sounds Awesome! Thank you Warmoth for the great pickguard and parts that fit perfectly into my Strat. Trevor Ling<br />The neck was bought from Warmoth at 2000.<br><br> Bridge pick-up is Dimarzio PAF-Pro, neck & middle are Fast Track-1.<br><br> It sounds very good.<br><br> Regards Mark McQuaid<br />I am an avid follower of Gary Moore, and noticed that he has been playing more and more of his Fiesta red guitar. So I decided what better way than to build my own. The paint is flawless as usual thanks to the guys in the Warmoth paint shop. It has a highly figured Birdseye maple neck and board. It sound very vintage due allot to the Vintage Vibe pickups. I did get a real Fender reissue bridge with cover, and learned that it was about 1/4 of an inch too deep and the trem cover wouldn't go on the back, so I just ground off a quarter of an inch, and cleaned it up, and it fits like it was always meant to be there.<br> I have 8 different Warmoth guitars now and love to play them all. I get so many people asking me about them, I put your web address on my amp.<br> Thanks so much for all your help. Bob Stewart<br />Earlier this year I built a Warmoth custom guitar as a presentation piece for a good friend and mentor. As that project unfolded I realized that I wanted to build a special instrument for my own enjoyment. The result can be seen in the attached photograph.<br><br> The body has a book matched Cocobolo top with a clear gloss finish. The wood grain pattern is absolutely awesome and is surrounded with a cream drop top binding. The back is Mahogany with a transparent brown dye and clear gloss finish that perfectly matches the dominant color of the top.<br><br> The neck is also Cocobolo wood with a flawless ebony fingerboard. The neck itself is unfinished except that I had the face of the headstock clear coated to better match the body. I guess that Cocobolo is one of the few woods that will be stable without a finish. It feels very smooth and fast like putting talcum powder on your hand or something. Frets are 6130 (low and wide) and feel great also. Tuners are Schaller locking type and hold fast through bends and Wilkinson dive bombing. The Abalone dots really give a touch of sparkle to the ebony board.<br><br> The top of this guitar is so beautiful that I wanted to find ways to let more of it show. What I came up with was trimming and smoothing the pick guard from the #2 to the #5 screw holes. Most people that have seen it this way like it.<br><br> The pick guard itself is vintage pearl and works nicely with the cream body binding. The pick-ups are a Rio Grande Dual Calibrated Strat set with cream pearl tops (fancy tops option). They match the pick guard perfectly but more importantly they rock big time. All of the hardware is gold plated and looks great against both the dark wood and the cream pearl pick guard.<br><br> The assembly of this instrument was performed at Elderly Instruments in Lansing Michigan by Kjell Croce.<br><br> Thank you Kjell you are a master!<br><br> Also big thanks to Dan and Gregg at Warmoth for all of their expertise.<br><br> As always the artisans at Warmoth have provided the highest quality materials, flawlessly finished, carefully packaged and delivered right to my door.<br><br> Saverio Montana<br />Here's my first Warmoth guitar, never played a such beautiful guitar! (Big sound)! It's a one piece alder body and a one piece maple neck with a purpleheart fretbord; I varnished the guitar with nitro-cellulose lacquer. The pickups are Fender custom shop 69. I spent $750 but the guitar is worth about 3 times more!<br><br> Thanks for making beautiful sounding and looking guitar pieces!<br><br> Thanks to all the Warmoth staff, specially for Dan e Bill for the tecnical support. Saverio Montana Brian Daughery<br />This is my new strat ive recently assembled , this one has turned out the best so far as far as the assembly went. It is a 3 piece solid indian rosewood body , and a one piece indian rosewood neck. This time i went with a narrow spaced flat mount bridge (all my other guitars have vintage 6 hole tremolos that i never use anyway) so i figured id save myself a 100 bucks and go hardtail . All the hardware on it is from warmoth except i ordered a prewired piackgaurd assembly from acme guitar works just cause they do such a nice job all nicely soldered and ready to go. Pickups are Lindy Fralin blues specials with a sp 43 in the bridge position. The sp 43 is supposed to be the equivalent of putting a full size p-90 in your strat, and it is quite a bit fatter sounding and has more midrange and slightly higher output. The pickguard I wasnt sure about until i got all the parts and could see it all together but once i did I liked the brown shell material with the rosewood. Well thats about it , gold hardware schaller mini locking tuners . The finished guitar sounds and plays great as usual the stainless steel frets were perfect as usual havent had a set need dressing yet out of 3 necks with stainless frets , and they wear great.
