Eric Morrison<br />Warmoth Strat® style guitar w/ Wild Maple Top, Dyed green to Black.

james davis<br />Thanks for the burl maple top on a swamp ash body for tone forever! Also the AAAAA flame maple neck and fretboard!!, with perfect fret work and cream binding, a masterpiece by any standards. The pickups are Lindy Fralin split blades with mods and build by Andy at guitar-mod.com, the best of sounds from this guitar. All finished in clear to show off the woods. All hardware is by Gotoh. Thanks to all at Warmoth and can't believe the perfection and quality of the work! You are all very amazing craftsmen. Peace to you all.

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 "E" and "D" chords (at the 2nd fret) are now both always perfectly in tune. Worth the extra cost. Thanks Warmoth.

Ryan Rouse<br />This is the best sounding and playing Strat® style guitar I have ever played.

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!!

Elsworth Smith<br />This beauty was my tribute to two of my heroes, Steve Vai and Jimi Hendrix. 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. The neck scallopping was done by Dean Cascione (a great guitar player!). The pickguard and pickups were wired by Andy Rothstein (check out his website, he does a great job!). The pickups are all DiMarzio. I have a virtual vintage Heavy Blues 2 in the neck; a True Velvet in the middle; and a Super Distortion in the bridge. This guitar has a dark, warm sound, it's great for Metal or Shred.

C. d . deutsch<br />My friend, "Eli Joseph", is the biggest guitar player & builder on the planet. He built this for me from scratch and all parts come from www.warmoth.com. Thanx eli and thanx Warmoth ....enjoy

Kevin Snider<br />EVH replica

Payne Wilson<br />It started of as a typical sunburst Strat® style guitar built from a body and neck from Warmoth, then I recived a set of Paul Gilbert sig. pick-ups and decided to do a collabaration of come of my favorite guitarist. 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. Mucho Bling!

Ade Daff<br />Mahogany body with a Burl Maple top. Birdseye Maple neck and fingerboard. Dimarzio Tone Zone, Chopper and Air Norton pickups all coil-tapped via mini switch. Schaller Trem. 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). "SUNSCAPE"... It is a one piece light weight alder body, shallow relief carving, custom antique finish, solid black walnut guard, chrome vol./tone knobs,(like on most of my guitars) I use Fralin pickups. It has a solid maple neck with nitro finish, and locking vintage kluson style tuners. NOTE: the turned ebony trem arm tip and this one has a push pull pot that activates the EMG afterburner. I wouldn't dare route on the back for the battery, and didn't want it too unaccessable under the guard, SO I carved just a little more room under the jack plate for the battery. WARNING: this is a little tricky to do without messing up your guitar, so be careful. Anyway THANKS to Warmoth for showing photo's of their guitars and giving the weights of the guitars they sell before you buy. For more great detail shots and other guitars go to FVcustomguitars.com
THANKS Frank Verrilli

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.

Mike Stoliker<br />Strat® style guitar that I did for a friend of mine. He had it laying around and it was a rather beat up sunburst color, so I re-did it in graffiti yellow and topped it of with a smoke finish.

Greg Sisserson<br />Warmoth Koa Wood Body with quilt maple top. Walnut Warmoth neck with ebony fret board, Seymour Duncan pickups. Fender American Standard bridge with Graphtec saddles and nut. Gold Fender Elite tuners. Guitar was setup by Luthier Erik Anderson of Sky Guitars in Denton, Texas

Wayne Powell<br />This guitar is a copy of Clapton's guitar that was used on the George Harrison memorial concert and the John Mayall 70th birthday concert. The design was painted by a friend and I painted the clear over it and assembled it. 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 "high grade" top. The neck is made of raw Goncalo. Fingerboard is ebony with huge stainless steel 6100 frets. Tuners are Sperzel locking tuners, while the bridge is a very nice GFS 2-point hardened steel tremolo (with full sized steel block and stainless steel saddles). The guitar is finished beautifully in Brown Dye and is topped off with immaculate drop top natural masked binding. All hardware is gold to wrap things up. Pickups are a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge, a DiMarzio Area '61 in the middle, and a DiMarzio Area '58 in the neck. My goal for this guitar was to achieve both the sounds of a Les Paul and a Stratocaster® style guitar, but with the beauty of a PRS, and I think I've achieved that goal. Thank you Warmoth for such a beautiful sounding and looking instrument.

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!!

Rick Wilson<br />Chambered white korina with figured black korina top. Neck is vintage gloss white korina w/ebony. Pick-ups are stock Gibson mini's with Fralin SP-43 strat in middle. No pick-up selector switch, just 3 vol/tone knobs. Use for smooth jazz.

Joe Interlande<br />A Desert sun 28" scale. It sounds amazing! It is mahogany back wood. It has no neck markers and is maple with ebony. A great combination for a "piano like tone". The pickups are Dimarzios. It stays dead in tune thanks to the perfect pre-installed corian nut! I installed a super 5 way to get the most out of the guitar. So far I have enjoyed 13 Warmoth guitars and this is one of my favorites. Such a great way to express yourself and spending time on the Warmoth site building and trying new things. Its hard to screw up with the best bodies and necks made.

Joe Interlande<br />A candy flake orange 25" scale. It sounds amazing! It is mahogany body. It has a maple and rosewood neck. The pickups are a Seymour Duncan 59 and a little 59. The LSR roller nut is installed on it. So far I have enjoyed 13 Warmoth guitars and this is one of my favorites. Such a great way to express yourself and spending time on the Warmoth site building and trying new things. Its hard to screw up with the best bodies and necks made.

Doug Sunshine<br />Solid Curly Koa lefty Strat® style body with curly koa righty Strat® style neck; lefty Kahler; Dimarzio Humbucker-From-Hell, Tone-Zone and Super Distortion pickups; abalone pick guard. Body and neck were purchased in 1983 during a blowout sale for $350 for both. Spray lacquered the body myself and left the neck unfinished.

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.

Wilfried Froehlich<br />The body arrived yesterday and was marvelous as all the parts I received from you in the last 20 years...!!
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!

"I wanted a cross between a 59 Les Paul and a '57 Strat® style guitar, pure vintage tones, great playability, planned it to the smallest detail, I wouldn't change anything"

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 "Miss Pretty" - and she is. While refurbing my main baby, I needed something that was a real guitar, and I turned of course to Warmoth. With a great deal of help & advice from all of you, I got the following:

*Chambered Mahogany body w/ 5A quilted top dyed blue
*Wenge neck w/Ebony board (no dots - students HATE that - LOL)
*locking Schaller tuners (gold)
*Wilkinson vibrato (gold)
*old Fender roller nut (from someone's unfortunate Jeff Beck Strat)
*DiMarzio pups

She has a very unique sound, and its a fantastic one. Thanks again for everything you folks do to get real guitars into our hands!

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" nut, 10-16" compound radius, standard thin contour, SS6105 frets and Schaller mini locking tuners. Warmoth 0.09" black solid gloss pickguard. Callaham converted American Deluxe bridge Callaham block and vintage styled "CG" saddles and super short Gilmour style length 4 1/8" tremolo arm. 3 Vintage Noiseless Strat® pickups with TBX tone control and Master Active Mid Boost (Clapton setup). Sounds GREAT!!!

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. Art and finish by Phillip James Long

Kevin Thornber<br />Warmoth body, Fender deluxe American neck with LSR. This sweet rear rout body is extra light solid Black Korina (3lbs 10oz) with cherry burst quilt maple top with heel contour. The pups are EMG Steve Lukather, with a Hipshot trem bridge. This guitar sounds and plays Amazing.

Carlos Lorenzo<br />A "hybrid" body that Warmoth very kindly custom made to my specs, with no forearm contour,no jack rout and T-bridge / pickup rout. Trans blue on swamp ash looks amazing. That's not its neck, it's an LP-type I installed just to try it, I'm making one from scratch using a Warmoth blank and fingerboard. Still in the works. Yes, it will have dots, of course!

steven demeola<br />15+ yr old swamp ash Warmoth body re-finished by yours truly (red mahogany stain, satin polyurethane). Vintage rosewood/maple neck (stained front side, same as body), Seymour Duncan mini-humbuckers (SM-1N, SM3-B). All electronics, pickguard, tremolo cover, and knobs from Warmoth. Bridge vol is a push-push set up for coil splitting. All wiring done myself. Older Schecter tremolo and locking tuners.

Tim Bucher<br />Here's my latest project completion. 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.

Timo Mankki<br />This guitar has an alder body, a slim neck (Indian rosewood) with Warmoth special radius + vintage tremolo and vintage tuners. I have installed a "Steve Lukather" pickup set (EMG SL-20) on it. The 9 volt battery is in its own compartment on the backside. This guitar is very comfortable to play and it sounds great too. Building it was a breeze thanks to top quality Warmoth parts!

Mark McQuaid<br />Hey guys. This is a mahogany body with quilted maple top. It's my first attempt at staining. It's waterbase stain with a nitro finish from Reranch. The neck is also my first time using tru- oil. Man is that smooth !!!!The pickups are Fralin "Blues Specials" Wilkinson Trem. and Sperzel tuners. It's my new favorite guitar. The sound is incredible !!!! It's been all setup, wired, and tweeked by Tom at Tom's guitar's in Winston salem, NC. Thanks for helping me pick out the best body and neck on the planet !!!! Mark

Joshua Gray<br />This is an Alder Body/Flame Maple Top/Nitro Finish/Birds Eye Maple Neck/Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard/String Trees/Locking Tuners/Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan Pickups. It strings through the body and has excellent Tone and Sustain. It wont be my last Warmoth.

ENSI GENXYDE<br />My first custom guitar...
My Frankenstein Baritone.
Body is made from an old charvel that i smashed when i was a teenager, sanded down and dyed purple, with a clear satin nitro finish.
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.

You can hear this guitar, currently on two newer songs of mine called "Aerobicide" and "Goodbye Horsesque" which can be found through my website @ Genxide.com

James Foote<br />This is my Gold Flake, early 60’s inspired, guitar. I have Lindy Fralin Blues’ specials; with all mint green covers and pick guard and etc…Neck is maple with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, SRV contour. I am very happy with the quality of all the parts I received from Warmoth.

Jason McCulley<br />Pickups: Dimarzio

Mark McQuaid<br />Hey Guys,
This is a Showcase 2 piece ash body, and extreme birdseye maple neck.3 coats of black grain filler was used. 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 />"Goldie", my third Warmoth. Angled Strat® Style peghead, gold hardware, and your basic Strat® style appointments.

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. The next time I'm going with stainless steel frets.

Justin Kelly<br />AAA Birdseye Maple neck, Pau Ferro fretboard, Stainless frets, Mahogany body with flame maple top. Fender American Standard tremelo, Schaller locking tuners, EMG AlNiCo electronics.

John Roberts<br />Warmoth ash body with maple top. Warmoth neck with satin finish, Schaller locking tuners, Original Floyd Rose tremelo, Duncan '78 pickup.

Graeme Matthews<br />One piece alder body finished with 6 coats of Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil and then rubbed back with B.Casey Stock Sheen and Conditioner (really great satin silky feel) Matt Nitro on the neck, stainless steel frets and Iron Gear Rolling Mill humbuckers. This is my first Warmoth build and I am so happy with everything about it. Explorer next I think. Outstanding effort Warmoth - Thanks.

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).

SPECS: Bare Knuckle UK "Mule" Humbuckers, Fender Deluxe Hardtail w/Graphtech saddles / Planet Waves locking tuners (a matching black&chrome theme) / Schaller locking strap-pegs.

I stripped the opaque brown stain to reveal the goldish Philippine Mahogany body and I hand-sculpted a soft jewel-cut that fades into a soft PRS-ish bubble then back into a jewel-cut, and did a sexy tummy contour. I used Wipe-On Poly and molested it until it was NEAR FACTORY GLASS perfect. I steel-wooled the neck to a buttery satin. Feels like buttah...

Warmoth made the whole thing SICK by selling me the greatest neck, a Mahogany/ebony Standard Thin with clay markers and Med/Jumbo frets. At first glance, I thought would be too slim, but once completed -- I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The photos don't do it justice, it's such a joy to hold and play – like a bluesy workhorse with serious class. Like a Chocolate Caramel Drop.

COOL BUILD NOTE: The Ibanez neck pocket was a little deeper than a Strat, so the fret board sits nearly on the deck like a Parker Fly, and it easily set up like the slinkiest Fretless Wonder action ever with zero buzz at all -- I actually had to raise the action a tad so I could dig in like I'm used to, but I kept it lower than my Am Dlx Strat, just for a different feel. I feel like it's like a model that Fender never made but should've. I love it! Jazzy and Shreddy at the same time.

Thank you Warmoth for the Greatest neck ever!

Tony Colaneri<br />Here''s my latest Warmoth guitar I built. Acrylic swirl body top and headstock. You guys still offering acrylic swirl?

Call it the "Cryocaster." Designed it to look "cold," as all of the electronics, pickups, and strings on it have been cryogenically treated to improve the metals'' performance.

Great products!

Tony Colaneri
