mathieu duong<br />Telemonster : a Warmoth Telecaster® style Swamp Ash body, black-blue-burst, and an original American Fender Telecaster® style maple neck, probably from a New American Standard Telecaster® ; pickups = DiMarzio DP384 Chopper T bridge and HepCat Nocaster neck ; black hardware, Sperzel Trim-Lok, Shadow SH 124 Kill Pot, push-push for coil-tapping. Jeff Krug<br />Warmoth Curly Maple Neck with Mighty Mite Ash Body Bill Scheltema<br />This is a complete scratch built 2 piece poplar blackguard, body weighing in at 4.2 lbs finished in clear gloss, with a 1 piece maple neck with amber dye and tru-oil finish. Custom wound Schel-Tone pickups drive this guitar and it sounds clean and clear. Dave Prinn<br />This beautiful Korina on Korina routed Tele&reg;-style body was mated to an original 66 rosewood on maple neck (no skunk stripe) and all original Telectronics. The guitar body had been "customized" by a madman with a jig saw, and years later thought lost in a basement flood. Rescued from the dumpster, the neck was still dead straight and the resurrection began. Thanks for letting me bring her back! Tim Smyser<br />This is my second project using Warmoth parts. The body was crafted from a piece of Koa I obtained while on the Big Island in 2007. Between the two Koa pieces is sandwiched a 65 year-old piece of mahogany. The neck is one-piece compound radius maple with a soft V contour from Warmoth with stainless steel frets and bone nut, The three pickups are Joe Bardens done in a Nashville/James Burton style. Controls are master volume, master tone, and a blender pot with a five-way switch. Pots are Bourne with a volume kit and a Vitamin Q cap. All wiring is enameled silver. Bridge is custom made stainless steel by JT Saddles. Tuners are nickel. Knobs are stainless steel and the strap buttons are nickel from Callaham Guitars. All screws are polished stainless steel, and the neck screws are machine type into inserts. The pickgaurd is nitro tortoise shell and the finish is all nitrocellulose lacquer. All work was done by Larry Smoak at Wooden Wizard Guitars. Looks great, plays like dream, and sounds absolutely killer with a rich harmonic tone to die for. Happy camper! Matt Popowski<br />Warmoth Swamp Ash body with a black burst finish, Fender American Standard Tele&reg; style maple neck, SD '59 in the bridge and SD vintage rhythm in the neck. Warmoth hardware. Beauty. Pedro Polanco<br />Homemade from a kit Dimarzio twang king pickups metal flakes paint and the neck is finish like the Island of Puerto Rico. Joel Pennington<br />Warmoth mahogany body and maple neck...Painted by Evil Knievel's painter- George Sedlak...Kinman Pickups. Note: Pinup guitars is now owned by Eric Daw in Seattle,WA. This guitar was produced before his ownership of Pinup Guitars. I still build custom guitars and I am working on a new name for the company. jpennin237@aol.com Joel Pennington Rich Charlton<br />Tele® style pine body with Warmoth Maple/Goncalo Alves neck, DiMarzio True Vintage pups, Grover Sta-tite tuners, headstock has inlaid night scene in gold, pink and white MOP & green abalone. Sean Varley<br />This is my Warmoth chambered mahogany body guitar. I purchased the neck from Warmoth in the early 90's. This is the fourth guitar body I have used with this neck. The bodies get replaced but the neck keeps going! I was looking for a blend of classic looks with modern accents. So, the contrast of the classic Tele® style bridge in gold with DiMarzio stacked humbucking pickups is my way of blending the past with the present. I used the Earvana nut on this project as well. The open chords sing. The intonation was not a problem even with the classic two string per post bridge. The initials stand for Sean Douglas Varley not Stevie Ray Vaughn. My ego is not that out of control. Tim Nolte<br />One piece Swamp Ash body with Strat&reg; style arm and belly contours, rear routed control cavity. 720 neck route and vintage wide Strat&reg; hardtail bridge. Strat&reg; style neck, mahogany with Pao Ferro fingerboard. Grover locking tuners and loaded with Gibson P-90s. Great looking guitar, nice and light with fantastic tone. chad willems<br />This Tele&reg; style guitar is an ash body from Warmoth with all the parts from a Korean made Ash Tele&reg; from Fender I had to buy a new body because the original body cracked down the middle when it fell off a stage at a gig. I used a butcher block wood treatment then stained it and put another coat of the wood conditioner on top. I might clear coat I haven't decided. Kevin Sanders<br />My THIRD Warmoth guitar! This is a basswood, rear-routed Tele&reg; style body (with tummy cut) finished in Duplicolor Metal Specks Red and topped with 12 coats of nitrocellulose lacquer. Wilkinson tremolo with a trem-setter to keep it in place. Seymour Duncan Screamin' Demon in the bridge and a '59 humbucker in the neck position. The neck is a Warmoth maple/maple compound radius strat neck with Sperzel locking tuners and an LSR roller bridge. A very Charvel-style tele minus the Floyd! It absolutely rips!!!!! D Auther<br />Lefty Warmoth Thinline. Swamp ash body, Black/Brown/Yellow burst done to perfection.

Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups. Gotoh hardware. Sounds and feels excellent. Thanks! Kevin Thornber<br />This is my 3rd Warmoth guitar and 1st Tele&reg; style guitar. I found the 3lb 12oz body unfinished and had it done with tobacco burst, with natural binding and brown back. The body is hollow with all contours, including heel contour. The neck is Fender American Deluxe, and the PUPs are EMG T-Series with mid expander circuit. The bridge is Fender deluxe with Graphtech ferroglide saddles. Clearly this is one sweet Tele&reg; style guitar and now my favorite guitar. Sean Golloher<br />I once saw a guitar during a concert on TV. I'm not completely sure who it was but I know I loved the guitar. About a year later I found the guitar (fender Strat&reg;/Tele&reg; style hybrid) and found that it was ridiculously expensive. I wasn't going to pay 3 grand for a Tele&reg; style guitar that plays like a Strat&reg; style guitar. It seemed I would not have MY guitar. A while later I found out about Warmoth and my hopes were brought back. After about a year of saving and collecting all my nickels and dimes, I finally had my axe. And in the end, I paid about half the price of the original for something three times better. Specs: Swamp ash body with flame maple top Canary neck with ebony fretboard SD Cool Rails in the neck SD Vintage Rails in the mid SD Custom in the bridge All three pickups are wired for series/split/parallel Push pull pot connected to the bridge pickup for an "always on" setting This thing plays like a dream... well mine at least. Cheesy, I know. Jeff Mahon<br />Here is my Springsteen clone. Custom body with a Warmoth neck.

Fender scn noiseless Telecaster&reg; pickups and Wilkinson trem. Put it all together and WOW! I have never seen or played anything quite like it! Thank you Warmoth!! Kenny Mortensen<br />Swamp Ash Thinline body, routed for p90's and a tunomatic with angled through body stringing. The neck is canary with a Pau Ferro fret board. Neck p90 is Duncan vintage, and bridge p90 is Duncan hot. Independent volume controls, and an upper Les Paul style pup selector. Hand finished by me in "antique jade" by minwax.... this is my first Warmoth build and I am ecstatic! Greg Moyer<br />Swamp ash body (1pc), Maple Neck (’59 profile, 9" radius, 6105 frets), Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros, Vintage Saddles (Brass) and Tuners. Blonde body and stained neck rubbed with 0000 steel wool to knock off shine. Parts from Warmoth (Great neck / body fit – nice sustain!), water based finishing products from Stew-Mac.

Body is Korina sandwiched w/ maple, semi-hollow, solid thru the middle. 5-way PRS switch and 2 tone controls, Wilkinson bridge w/ brass saddles. Sounds amazing! Wouter Jaegers<br />The Pine Pain. One of what should have been a matching pair of Pine Body telecasters&reg; style guitars of which I routed the bodies myself, using an accurate pin router. Well what can I say about this one? First of all that she sure didn't have an easy birth, with having to go through a blunder with me routing the pickup cavity (she was supposed to have just a bridge humbucker) at the wrong place and several botched up paint attempts and people telling me "Give it up man, it's not worth all the effort you put in" but then I saw that body lying there and I just couldn't give up on her. For some reason I developed a liking for that poor thing. The Neck is a Warmoth Tele&reg; style with a Clapton Vintage V back contour, a really lovely playing neck. pickups and controls come from a Fender Japan Stratocaster&reg; but thanks to the top-loading bridge it doesn't sound that much like a strat at all. It sounds really airy and wirey, much like a Fender Jaguar and thanks to a wiring modification I did It can also do a mean twang. The Pine Pain sure didn't have an easy birth but now that she's here I'm gonna enjoy her. Kent Green<br />I was looking for a Tele&reg; style guitar that felt good in my lap in the morning with the 1st cup off coffee...unplugged. Definitely no air brushed flames and glassy smooth nitro. In addition to a versatile guitar, I also wanted to plug some tone holes left by my other guitars; some nice jazz tones with sustain from the neck pickup and some Paisley twang from the bridge. This guitar nailed it...I couldn't be happier and I enjoyed the entire process. Super light one piece swamp ash body with cuts, 59 round back birdseye neck with the largest stainless frets, Planet Waves tuners, and a 4-way switch. Warmoth was great to work with and the parts fit like a glove. Lindy Fralin set me up with a -10% P92 in the neck and Blues Special in the bridge which work really well. Jeff Mosby (jmosby@sc.rr.com) did an extremely nice 1/4 moon inlay in black and white pearl on the head stock. What an incredible inlay and leather artist ! I used alcohol based aniline dyes which took a lot of tinkering to get the right color, but otherwise worked well. After dying the body I used a dilute solution of the same dye on the neck which brought out the birdseye and helped match the hue to the body. I used the traditional Tru-Oil approach (wipe off excess before drying) on the fret board and back of the neck. On the head stock and body I put a good last coat on (quickly) but did not wipe off the excess. That left a nice moderate gloss that shows off the grain. It was a lot of fun and just great to get a guitar exactly the way you want it...down to the last resistor and cap ! Norbert Riley<br />Mahogany body and fat neck, Rosewood fingerboard with no dots (obviously). Pickups are GFS P90s (one is the humbucker shaped "mean-90". This guitar is the bastard child of a Tele&reg; style guitar and a Les Paul Junior style guitar, and it rocks to high heaven. Pat Casey<br />One piece Swamp Ash body finished with Golden Oak from Lowe's for the stain and tru oil for the finish. The neck was finished with a combination of Golden Oak stain and yellow wood dye. This was my first build. For those who don't own spray guns and are novices, I highly recommend the tru oil. Jake Curtis<br />Tele® Thinline style guitar, Rosewood on Mahogony, with Strat® Tremolo and Lollar P-90 Pickups. Michael Scanlan<br />I set out to do a copy of the 1968 Pink Paisley. Even though I have a Japanese copy, it is far from being close to the original. The body is a one piece Swamp Ash Warmoth. The neck is a Maple Warmoth. Finding a suitable silver background was challenging. And finding someone who would be patient enough to redraw the Paisley pattern was even more of a challenge. Marko Oving<br />This must be the ultimate Thinline! Black Korina body with a rosewood top, a very smooth Goncalo Alves Neck (Fatback) and a Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard. finished with pure tung oil and wax. The pickups are custom hand-wound P90's from Jon Moore. Chuck Chambers<br />My first Warmoth guitar. A 1 piece alder body I finished Buck Owens style using nitro-cellulose lacquer. A Warmoth Pro Tele&reg; style Fatback Contour neck I scraped until it fit my hands the way I wanted, then finished with NC laq. Sprezel tuners and Callaham Guitars hardware. I wound the pickups using Alnico III magnets and heavy formavar wire. They are on a 4-way switch with a Sozo capacitor. I was able to sign the headstock using an oil-based pen from an art supply store. Then, spray light coats of vinyl sealer over it to keep it from running. A neat way to add a personal touch without having to engrave pearl. This is the best sounding Tele&reg; style guitar I own. I will build more and use a Warmoth neck on every one. It was perfect!!!! Jim Schiller<br />This is my first total Warmoth guitar. I like a tight sound so I ordered a Ash body, (Butterscotch blond). The body has the tummy contour and the pocket slant, the Broadcaster neck has the (Eric Clapton radius). Since I do a lot of studio sessions, I ordered a pair of Kinman Broadcaster noiseless pickups. I use a four position switch:(1)Bridge,(2)Bridge-Fingerboard(Parallel),(3)Fingerboard,(4)Fingerboard-Bridge (Series) The 4th position gives a very close Humbucker sound. Vincent Puccetti<br />Warmoth 3.0 lbs, 2-pc swamp ash body and Warmoth total vintage neck with boatneck contour and 6105 frets, all Fender 52 RI hardware and pickup except for compensated saddles. Very resonant, light yet and balanced. Dreams do come true! Thanks! Ross Dakin<br />Warmoth '72 Thinline (koa on mahogany). Custom fit pearloid pickguard. Duncan P-90s. Lots of sexy. Guillaume Jacques<br />Warmoth Tele body, Swamp Ash on Swamp Ash. Tobacco Burst on top & back. Warmoth reverse neck, maple & rosewood, vintage tint gloss. Fender vintage bridge 3 brass saddles. Custom Shop Texas Special Pickup. Doug Rice<br />This is my latest Tele&reg; style guitar. This is the first ever maple top guitar I have made. Tel&reg; style purists will hate this one. It is a swamp ash body with a quilt maple top finished in tequila sunrise burst top and back. It has a tummy cut and a forearm contour. The neck is a Warmoth pro Strat&reg; style neck, pau ferro fret board, 59 round back, compound radius with stainless frets. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck and Jeff Beck in the bridge. Both pick ups are wired with push push pots from Warmoth that change the pickups from series to parallel. There is a master tone also on a push push pot that bypasses the tone when pushed. When I ordered the body I was only planning on using 2 volumes and 1 tone so I did not have control holes drilled. When I was putting together I did not like how the 3 knobs looked so the 4th the knob is a dummy. It has an American Deluxe Strat&reg; bridge and locking tuners. This guitar is rock’n roll. Bill Ritter<br />This is a Tele&reg; style gutiar I first made in 1998 and refreshed in 2007 to give to son as graduation present. My other submission is of the new Tele&reg; style guitar I made in 2008 to replace the first. Note the 'Warmoth' Logo embedded under 15 coats of nitro. Bill Ritter<br />Tele&reg; style guitar based loosely on the old Tele&reg; Jr. style guitar. Birdseye bound neck with ebony fingerboard. Pick and arm guard made with birdseye also, laminated to .06" white stock; all stained in dark amber that from a distance looks like tortoise shell. Body is basswood and 4-way switch employed giving four very noticeably distinct sounds. Built this one to replace the one I gave my son Robert Curtis<br />Thinline w/ FatBack Neck and Lollar P-90 pickups. Ron Couch<br />Relic Tele&reg; style guitar with Warmoth alder body in Sonic Blue nitro from Reranch.com. The neck is a distressed amber Warmoth SRV contour with black dots and TUSQ nut. Pickups are Lindy Fralin 2% over-wound in front and 5% over-wound in bridge. Pickguard is original 5 hole style bakelite with clear nitro finish. The tuners are Gotoh nickel vintage and the bridge is by Wilkinson with adjustable saddles. All chrome and nickel parts have been tumbled and aged to match the vintage look of the guitar. Controls are provided by a 4 way mod switch. This guitar has a great vintage sound to match the late 50's look! Dru Kraus<br />Tele® Thinline Style Guitar - Burl Maple Top on Swamp Ash, Quatersawn maple neck with Brazilian Rosewood fret board. Callaham bridge, Custom wound Rumpelstiltskin pickups and Gotoh vintage locking tuners.

Wayne Powell<br />This Tele&reg; style guitar is a rosewood body with thin maple laminate through the middle with a Strat&reg; style rosewood neck, this guitar is modeled on the George Harrison Tele&reg; style guitar that was used on the Let It Be album/film. The only difference is that I opted for Strat&reg; style controls and no scratch plate. The pups are SCN Fender vintage and a Clapton preamp has also been installed. The body has also a neck contour on it. I painted the neck and body and assembled the guitar. This guitar has great tone and sustain thanks to the rosewood body and neck.

Thanks for the great neck, guys. Scott Landholm<br />Thrift shop swamp ash bod with trans blue finish. Maple neck with abalone inlays and the Earvana nut. Topped off with a pearl pickgaurd and chrome hardware. Rio Grande Tallboy and Muygrande under the hood. 5 way switch for ample tonal variations. The combination of Warmoth and Rio is simply sublime. The tone is rich and full of character and sustains for years. The neck plays like a dream, fast and bendy. Rock, blues, jazz, twang, whatever, it'll do them all. Thanks Warmoth and Jim Taylor for the excellent set up. Richard Chauvet<br />The "Chauvet Custom Caster" Flame Maple neck with stainless steel vintage frets that we got without the clear coat finish. Added the custom inlay, then applied the final satin clear. Added to a Std Tele&reg; fitted with Amer Deluxe noiseless Cobalt Samarian pickups. Action is perfect. Damon Williams<br />The P-90 Tele&reg; Style Guitar - maple/rosewood, fatback, stainless steal 6100 frets, Earvana nut - ash/ash Thinline (hollow), no "f" holes - routed for one P90 (Seymour Duncan (P-90 Stack") at the neck - recessed tune-o-matic bridge mounted - string through body I got all the wood and hardware from Warmoth except the rosewood volume knob. I added 3 layers of tung oil and that is it. This is an amazing sounding guitar. The glassy sounds of the P-90 blended with the bottom end of that hollow ash body are a perfect match. Super dynamic response with a mellow jazz bite. As always (this is my 5th Warmoth build) Warmoth has a stellar product and stellar support. Warmoth is the ONLY place to buy an electric guitar as far as I am concerned. Stan Stan<br />I had a Squier 51 with a neck I loved but I butchered the body replacing pickups and changing the configurations to get the sound I wanted. Then I discovered Warmoth, checked out the showcase and found this amazing tobacco burst solid one piece Alder body and had it routed to my desired configuration and now I have one of the coolest guitars I've ever owned. It has a P90-strat-tele bridge route with a Lollar mini Humbucker, Lollar Special S strat and a GFS Overwound Fatbody Tele bridge pickup with an American Telecaster&reg; Deluxe wiring configuration giving me numerous options that make beautiful music together in this high quality highly resonant guitar body.... THANKS WARMOTH!! Carlos Lorenzo<br />Gorgeous wild maple top on alder, maple/rosewood neck with Wolfgang contour, DiMarzio Minibucker + Virtual Hot T pickups. Had to enlarge the rout for the minibucker a bit, but that deliciously warm but crystal clear tone was worth the extra work. Simple but super-versatile. Kelly Small<br />Figured Walnut top with Walnut chambered body, Walnut neck with Ebony fretboard, Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups, Ebony volume/tone knobs.

It's got a Swamp Ash body from Warmoth finished in Butterscotch Blonde and a neck off a Fender MIJ '60s Tele&reg; reissue. Seymour Duncan Hot Tele Rhythm in the neck and a Little '59 in the Bridge. It doesn't sound like a traditional Tele, but it is punchy, warm, lightweight, super resonant...and very rock & roll. Rob Jackson<br />Tele&reg; Style Guitar Plus Warmoth Alder body in Vintage white. Neck is an Am. St. 1995 Fender Tele&reg; Style Guitar Neck...the rest is all Fender except for the Dually humbucker ring and the Warmoth pickguard.

For the analog side, I wanted a Tele&reg; style guitar look but with Les Paul chunk. I also wanted to be able to use the Variax tones and pickups simultaneously. Most hybrids have a digital whine that bleeds through the pickups. I decided to try completely isolating the path to ground. The problem was how to get rid of the string ground. The solution: EMG pickups. No more whine even at high gain! John Stucke-Jungemann<br />Burl Maple over very light Swamp Ash. Neck is Maple on Maple standard Warmoth. Saw both on the showcase. Great help from the support team. My second Warmoth project first total build. Love the guitar and its playability. Thanks Warmoth.

I have assembled a body in the swamp ash verniciatro nitro, with a rosewood neck / maple. I have Van Zandt pU. I decided to call it "black beauty" as the layer of Jimy! Will Hren<br />I made this Tele&reg; style guitar using a Warmoth vintage modern neck. I installed a parsons/white b-bender and finished the guitar in vintage cream nitro lacquer from reranch. I am always very pleased with Warmoth's customer service and look forward to ordering a custom neck for my next project. 'Vid Sutton<br />This is a pretty basic Tele&reg; style guitar with a couple of tweaks. The Warmoth body is solid Alder with Candy Tangerine paint, and the Warmoth Strat&reg; style neck is a "fat" profile maple with figured maple board, Grover mini tuners and matching Candy Tangerine headstock. Pickups are Rio Grande Dirty Harry (bridge) and Seymour Duncan Vintage P90 in the neck. Great player, great sound, in person it looks so much better than my photos. Killer Tele! Thanks again Warmoth for your great products! 'Vid Sutton, Pasadena, CA Jeff Leonard<br />Telecaster&reg; style guitar Combination of beauty and tone. Quilted Maple on an Alder body. Simply satisfied. This guitar puts the blue in blues Don Dwyer<br />This Tele&reg; Style Guitar has a swamp ash body, Rio Grande pickups and custom wood-burned designs front and back done by my son. Finish was applied by Martin Macica of Schuylerville, and final set up was by Parkway Music. This special gift from my wife and son looks beautiful and sounds great! Mark Bowling<br />I named this one the Hellecaster after seeing the spectacular job that Warmoth did with the finish on the body. It's a super-light swamp ash body with a curly maple top rear-routed to show off the finish. I had it made with extra hole for the Strat&reg; sized pickup in the middle to add some extra versatility to it. Many people think that it's a flame paint job and don't realize that it's just the natural grain of the wood with a fire burst finish with a natural binding! I put Seymour Duncan Pickups with the Brent Mason wiring config and tied them to Callaham cryo-treated pots and switches and Callaham stainless deep crosshatch knobs. The bridge is also made by Callaham and does a great job of mating the bridge surface to the body of the guitar. I finished the Warmoth Pro birdseye maple neck abalone dots and Fender locking tuners. Schaller straplocks make sure it never hits the ground! It's absolutely the highest quality instrument I've ever owned and I can't thank Warmoth enough for taking their time to do it right. Bernardo Rodriguez<br />This is by far the greatest guitar EVER! It's a swamp ash, tiger burst, chambered Tele&reg; style guitar with a rosewood Tele&reg; style guitar neck with jumbo steel frets and abalone inlay. The pickups are Duncan SL59-1 in the neck and a ST59-1B in the bridge. AMAZING, simply amazing! Daryl Clemons<br />Tele&reg; Deluxe style guitar warmoth mahogany body w/ satin mahogany finish.

Ganthet Beck<br />Fireburst mahogany body with quilt maple top and black binding top and bottom with Seymour Duncan Jazz Pickups Mike Provenzano<br />Last spring I purchased the parts to construct my first home built guitar from your company. I know its almost a year later but I thought I would share with you some thoughts on my experience. I wasn''t sure who to send this email to and guessed you''d be a good person to send to so here goes. I bought a one piece swamp ash body for a telecaster and a vintage modern neck made from birdseye maple with a rosewood finger board, along with various other parts to complete my project. Let me say that when I placed my order, Spike was my sales person. He just simply knows the right questions to ask. Immediately I felt that I was going to have ZERO problems with my order. This man knows his business, and knows guitars. Please don''t ever fire him! When the stuff finally arrived, I darn near cried when I looked at the body and its finish. This was the most flawless piece of work I had ever seen. The same with the neck. Everything was exactly as I had ordered it from Spike and constructed to absolute perfection! Since completing the project in August, I have been playing the guitar almost everyday. Friends that have tried it have been absolutely amazed at how sweet this thing really is. I''m sure you get a million emails like this each day because of it. I cannot put completely into words how brilliantly this guitar is made. Warmoth''s workers are true artisans. I have seen necks and bodies from other companies (and countries) and they do not even hold a candle to your product. The attention to detail, the workmanship, the guidance, the whole process, although somewhat lengthy was an absolute joy. I know I have recommended your products to at least 10 of my friends and said that the extra money and time are well worth it. I will be ordering my second project this spring(hopefully). Its going to be a Stratocaster to match the Tele I built last year. I cannot wait to do it. If this one is anything like the last, I know I''ll be happy with it. I''ve attached a pic so you can have a look. She''s a real beaut! Please tell Spike and everyone else I said Thank You Thank You Thank You and God bless you for making such awesome stuff. Erico Fernando de Oliveira <br /> Pete Martin<br />Callistocaster Mercury Red four color burst Robin Odlum<br />I wanted to combine my favorite looking guitar, the Les Paul custom, with the look of a Tele&reg; style guitar, the pickup configuration of a Strat&reg; style guitar and the quality of a Warmoth. Thanks to Warmoth, this turned out exactly as I envisioned. Scott B<br />Number 5 in my Warmoth Collection, a true gigging work horse.

The Body is Mahogany with RedTrans Dye and a TrueOil Finish. <br> This guitar is the best of many worlds, the P90's allow the hot classic sound, clean P90's allow for that nice Tele&reg; Style Guitar Chime. Humbuckers are warm & hot enough to rock, Jazzy enough for clean work. Using the Center SSL5 and the P90's I can get some really nice strat tones without the volume drop off of most single coils. <br> The guitar also sports Planet Waves Locking tuners & Schaller Strap Locks. <br> This is as close to a one guitar, does it all, as I've ever played. It's fast, comfortable and sounds amazing!! The switching is easy and fast for live stage work. This guitar has Tele&reg; Style Guitar, Strat&reg Style Guitar, Humbucker sounds that will make a listener do a 'double take' when they hear all those tones coming from one guitar. <br> Thanks Warmoth for the nice neck and body to make a truly one of a kind guitar so far. zachary young<br />Mahogany Tele&reg; Style Guitar neck, Ziricote Scalloped fingerboard, Mahogany Tele&reg; Style Guitar body Variax Electronics, Spalted maple Laminate top.

Alex Semenenko<br />My first Warmoth Telecaster® Style Guitar.<br> Amazing guitar parts. Great guitar!<br> I would like build another Warmoth guitar. Tim Bucher<br />I have always liked the clean look of the Fender Esquire, part two. But simple as it may be, it is limited in tone choice based on only having one pup. How to solve this? Install pups underneath the pickgaurd! Second up is the sonic blue one with an EMG RTC in the bridge, and SA’s in the neck and middle positions. Pups are controlled by a 5 way switch, and EMG EXG tone circuit at the middle knob, and EMG SPC tone circuit at the back knob. This is about as close as you can get to having a David Gilmour set up in a Tele&reg; style guitar. Neck is a nice Fender American Deluxe in maple. With the body being made in alder, you can get some nice vintage Pink Floyd tones that are just so cool. The EMG DG20 kit has always been a favorite of mine, and I currently run a kit in my Strat&reg; style guitar as well. But being a Tele&reg; style guitar lover, I just had to get that tone in a Tele&reg; style guitar package too. Versatility and good looks, is what it’s all about. Thanks once again to all at Warmoth! Tim Bucher<br />I have always liked the clean look of the Fender Esquire. But simple as it may be, it is limited in tone choice based on only having one pup. How to solve this? Install pups underneath the pickgaurd! First up is the black one with a Duncan ’59 in the bridge and neck positions. In the middle position, is a Duncan Vintage single coil. Pups are controlled by a 5 way switch, with one toggle splitting the coils in the neck position. Neck is a nice Fender American Deluxe with matching black headstock. With the body being made in mahogany, you can get some nice LP tones, and still pull up some Fender tones as well. Versatility and good looks, is what it’s all about. Thanks once again to all at Warmoth! Doug Rice<br />Here is my new Tele&reg; Custom style guitar. It is a swamp ash body, and it is amazing. It has great weight and incredible looking grain. It is finished in honey burst I wanted something different that looked like it could have been a 70’s color. It has a vintage modern neck that has a good amount of flame and it is a 3 bolt to keep with the 70’s vibe. It has the Fender neck humbucker, 6 saddle vintage bridge and a Dimarzio Area T bridge pickup. Thanks again for your amazing products! Larry Trexler<br />HERE is my first build. Thanks to Warmoth for a beauty of a body. Alder with curly and burl maple top. ReRanch amber and tobacco dyes, Hand rubbed lacquer finish.

Hot rails at the bridge vintage stack at the neck, both Seymour Duncan. Gotoh fixed bridge and locking machine heads. pearl binding on top of bwbw binding all finished with 5 coats clear nitro. This is my first build and I am well pleased with the finish. The only down points are the tax on Warmoth parts coming into England and the screw in the string guide that sheared off leaving me with a broken screw in the neck, the sweet tones from this guitar have made grown men weep with joy. Project two will soon be under way. THANKS WARMOTH Brian Bowman<br />52 Butterscotch Blackguard assembled from premium Warmoth Showcase Body and Neck. Hardware and Bakelite pickguard by Callaham.

It is a swamp ash body with a canary top. The canary had red streaks in it, so I had the back done trans red with a burst over. They match beautifully. The neck is birdseye maple with a kingwood fretboard.<br> <br> I used Dimarzio soapbar/humbuckers which sounds real nice. The neck pickup is perfect for the blues. Real smooth.

Anthony Ritchie<br />The original owner upgraded the stock 50’s style Esquire to include a heavier pickguard, brass saddles and a slick rosewood Warmoth neck. I furthered the transformation along by sanding “Jeff Beck” style contours for the forearm and on the back for the rib cutaway. I sealed the exposed wood with tung oil so it will protect the wood but it will be able to age gracefully along with the body as I play it. It’s so comfortable and the rosewood neck is so smooth and resonant. The instrument just rings like a bell, making Andy Summers-style licks jump from the amp like no guitar I’ve ever owned before. I’m loving this guitar so much that I’m thinking my next Warmoth project may have to be a hollow limba Tele® style guitar (with contours) and a solid rosewood neck. Thanks again for making such fantastic, unique, musical products that normally wouldn’t be available outside of uber-high-end boutique instruments.

Warmoth swamp ash body in Sherwood green right from the showcase. A Warmoth pro maple neck with planet waves auto trim tuners, compensated 3 barrel bridge, and a set of Lollar special T pickups. Built on a whim, now it's my main guitar! Gets used every day for rehearsal and gets used live twice a month. I like it so much, I'm gonna make another this time with a B bender! Cody Vignal<br />This is Telecaster style guitar. The neck is from a Fender Custom Shop guitar that I got on Ebay, as well as the neck plate. The body is a single ivory bound swamp ash body with flame maple front finished with a blackyellow burst finish. It has a Fishman VT Powerbridge on it as well for great acoustic tones as well as Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Tele&reg; pickups, both neck and bridge. It has a hybrid pearloid pickguard. I knew in my mind what guitar I wanted to build and I built it. It's one-of-a-kind and I don't think a tele&reg; style guitar can get much prettier or unique than this one Robin Nahum<br />Blond Thinline with multiply binding and a short scale neck 24 3/4. Neck pickup is a Charlie Christian from VintageVibe Frank Manno<br />This was a fun project. I achieved that boutique tele&reg; style guitar look, sound and feel at a fraction of the price. The Fatback 111/16 neck gives more of a Gibson feel to this guitar as does the Lollar Charlie Christian neck and Lollar J Street bridge pickup. As with all projects, I made a mistake or two but also learned in the process. It is very rewarding to design and then build a dream guitar. Thanks to Warmoth for all of your support! Brady Hobbs<br />Here's by far the best Tele&reg; style guitar I've ever owned or played. I found this gorgeous thing at Warmoth's Showcase listings. The body is booked matched quilt maple front and back with an alder core 4.2 lbs. The natural colored binding adds a superb touch of class. Beautiful and excellent tobacco burst smooth as glass. The Neck is Warmoth short scale conversion. The pups are DiMarzio Area T's<br> controlled by 250k volume and 1meg tone pots with a .001 tone cap and man do they sound fab set up this way! The saddles are brass left overs from an 80's Schaller Strat&reg; bridge assembly i found here locally the same used on Andy Summers Tele&reg;. The tuners are Fender Eric Johnson model l dig the staggered posts no string tree required. Thank you guys at Warmoth you always deliver the best! Mark Ashurst<br />This is my first build and as you can see I have been inspired by Trussart to make a Rustocaster, but with a twist!<br> <br> The body is a Mexican 60's Tele® style guitar with 4 holes drilled through the body, ranging in size from 4070mm. It lightens the body and also allows you to see straight through it which is quite cool. I also removed the section of wood behind the control plate to expose all the wiring. The body was then sprayed in various colours and 'gently' bashed and reliced before I attached the rusty perforated steel panels to the front and back. Its a heavy beast though at around 9.5lbs. <br> <br> Pickups are SD Antiquity Tele in the bridge and Antiquity Texas Strat in the neck, with a 4way switch.<br> <br> It also has Sperzel locking machines which are fantastic. I had to make the scratchplate and headstock plate from a steel sheet and shape and rust accordingly. Bit tricky but worked well. Everything is finished in a light satin lacquer just to stop the rust coming off in my hands!<br> <br> The crowning glory though is the absolutely gorgeous Warmoth pro neck, made from wenge with a kingwood fretboard. It also features a Wolfgang profile, SS frets, graphtec nut and MOP dots.<br> <br> I'm over the moon about the finished result and I'm now planning a Warmoth walnut guitar. If only Warmoth had an office in England!... Denny Goodridge<br />This is my first project guitar and I couldn't be more happy with it. It's hard to get the color looking right with my camera, but it's Turqoise dye on a swamp ash body and flame maple neck. Fralin PU's and all else Warmoth. Props to Spike for walking me through the ordering process and answering so many questions! Robert Insalaco<br />Here is my first Warmoth build. It is an alder/spalt body with a mahogany/ebony Fatback neck. It seems to be a little beefier in the low/low mid compared to a maple neck. I threw some Harmonic design vintage+ p/ups in it. Sounds awesome and went together flawlessly! Eric Brex<br />My new heavy metal guitar. It has an alder body with AAA Quilt maple top. The pickup is a Duncan Distortion, a Tone Pros bridge and a push/push volume pot for coil tap. The neck is Birds Eye with Abalone dots, Vintage modern with Stainless frets. Love it! Thanks to George Stritter's Guitar shop for the final build, and thanks Warmoth for a great product. Garry Keiller<br />My first project. One piece black korina body and black korina neck. Maccassar ebony fretboard with gold frets. Spalted maple top. Recessed Gotoh tuneomatic bridge. Gotoh gold tuners with ebony tops. Pickups by Joe Barden. Guitar assembled by Brian Schultze at Avenue Guitars in Edmonton. <br> Folks at Warmoth exceeded my expectations. Professional, courteous service...and...the guitar arrived 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Mahogany body, cream binding, gold top gold, natural gloss back, gold bell knobs, Duncan jazz and Custom5 buckers, and an american standard bridge. This is literally my dream guitar. I am NEVER ever buying an off the rack guitar again. I already have 2 more Warmoths planned at the moment! THANKS!!! Rudy Williams<br />Hello,<br> First let me thank your staff for your help in getting the parts to build this beautiful metal flaked blood red guitar. This is my fourth Warmoth guitar, and I am learning more each time I build one. The body and the neck came from the showcase. <br> My guitar is equipped with:<br> Black Sperzel tuners,Fender TBX tone contol, Duncan Jazz neck,Super Distortion bridge w\coil tap switch, and an EMG pa 1 booster with push\pull master volume control.<br> Thanks again for all of your help.<br> I'm getting geared up for my next project. Bruce Layton<br />Hard Ash Warmoth body with Warmoth Maple neck with Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Also features Corian nut, Schaller tuners, Wilkinson bridge and Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups with four-way switch. Great sustain! Bruce Layton<br />This is a Warmoth tele&reg; style guitar with a Birdseye Maple/rosewood conversion neck, Swamp Ash body in Inca Silver and Bill Lawrence pickups. It sounds amazing! Matthew Nagel<br />Hollow body of black korina w/maple cap neck is standard thin neck of canary wood. Neck humbucker is Rio Grande tall boy, bridge humbucker is a Rio Grande Twangbucker. I have independent volume via concentric pots and a small switch to split buckers into singles. Earvana nut has been great. I bend a lot and it's stayed in tune quite well. I'm digging this axe like an old soul record. Many thanks to Spike at Warmoth for his assistance, and to Steve in SLC for assembly. Even my wife likes this one. Bill Walker<br />This back-friendly 6lbs 6ozs. Mahogany body with a fatback maple conversion scale length neck, and two Duncan mini antiquity hum bucking pickups. The Wilkinson bridge was modified, and the pickguard custom made. This is an homage to the Tele Gib that Seymour Duncan built for Jeff Beck that he played on 'Cause we've ended as Lovers, and to mini humbuckers, Like the ones I ripped out of a mid 70's deluxe Les Paul I owned years ago to replace with standard humbuckers. In hindsight, the mini humbuckers were the best thing about that guitar. They are highly underrated in my opinion. This guitar is fat sounding yet focused with plenty of sustain, and still retains a good deal of tele twang despite its mahogany body and Gibson makeover. Go figure. BTW, the pickups are direct mounted to the body which I highly recommend if you want to make the most of a resonant body and fatten your sound. This guitar sounds fantastic,Versatile for rock,jazz, funk and roots music and great for open tunings, slide and heavier gauge strings. Scott C. Lewis<br />This is one of a pair of exotic wood Tele style guitars built with Warmoth parts. This one is a Zebrawood top on a Korina body with a sandwich pinstripe. The body was purchased from the showcase items. It has been finished in clear gloss. I was drawn to this top right away when browsing the showcase and the Korina back is equally unique. The maple neck was constructed with no face dots on the fingerboard...the choice truly adds to the unique character of the instrument. <br> <br> Thanks again Warmoth!<br> Scott C. Lewis Scott C. Lewis<br />This is one of a pair of exotic wood Tele style guitars built with Warmoth parts. This one is a flame figured KOA top on a Mohagany body purchased from the showcase items. It has been finished in clear gloss...no need to do anything special with this one...the top is stunning. The neck is Mohagany as well with an ebony fingerboard. I chose to have the neck constructed with no face dots on the fingerboard and am very pleased with the unique look that the choice has given the instrument.<br> <br> Many thanks Warmoth!<br> Scott C. Lewis Jeremy Tusa<br />Mahogany tele shape with flame maple top and tobacco burst finish. Neck is mahogany with satin finish and SRV shape, with jumbo stainless frets on a rosewood fretboard.

Mike Rose<br />They say that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. I never believed this would be so true! This is the best guitar I have ever owned. Easy to play and that great Tele twang. Built with a Warmoth solid ash body and a vintage neck with a boatneck contour. Fender Original Tele pickups. Barry Dobson<br />Here is my first self-made guitar. Body is one-piece swamp ash and neck is quartersawn maple with rosewood. Callaham hardware throughout with Lindy Fralin blues pups. I went slowly putting it together and did the setup myself not much required really. The tone is awesome, she is light as a feather, and plays like a dream. Almost no reason to build another... a strat&reg; style guitar would be nice though... Edu Roca<br />Hello Warmoth,<br> <br> Here is the first Warmoth instrument I ever ordered I also have a PBass. The idea was to make a Tele&reg; style guitar that combined the Vintage '52 look with aggressive sound. For that I ordered a Warmoth Tele&reg; replacement body made of Swamp Ash of course and a Modern-Vintage superfat maple neck great for my big hands!.<br> <br> The body was finished Butterscotch Blonde style not exactly, but looks quite similar but different at the same time which makes it unique, and I also had the pickguard in Black Matte. I stuffed it with Seymour Duncan Quarter Punder pickups for Tele STL3 and STR3 for that extra bite that I wanted.<br> <br> I then used a vintage tele bridge 3 saddles and Schaller tuners. The sound on this guitar is simply amazing. I can go for pristine and direct clean sounds and I also get a massive amount of crunch with lots of lowend. Maybe too much at times! The pickups are very responsive and it makes this guitar very versatile. Tom Kallas<br />Warmoth body with binding. Warmoth Pro neck with stainless frets. Kinman pickups with 4-way selector switch. Daniele Stradivari<br />Mahogany Hollow body with Quilted Maple Top. Nitrocellulose Finish. Bare Knuckle P 90 Pickups in Humbucker Size. Sounds great and looks great, too. Thanks to all at Warmoth!

It has a chambered body with a 2 piece bookmatched top and 2 piece bookmatched back, finished by Warmoth in a flawless thin clear gloss. The neck is a wonderful unfinished all rosewood Total vintage, with 6105 Frets I reckon it is the most delicious feeling, fast, smooth, perfect neck I have ever played. Wonderful articulte, complex, clear, pianolike Lindy Fralin stock Tele pickups, all Callaham hardware with stainless steel saddles. 4 way switching.<br> <br> This is one of the most resonant, responsive, alive sounding/feeling guitars I have ever played. It is simply a wonderful playing and sounding instrument. Rob Rounds was extremely helpful when ordering my parts and I will definitely be contacting him again in the future. This was my first Warmoth build, it will certainly not be my last.<br> <br> Many, many thanks to Rob, and the whole crew at Warmoth for helping me build my dream Telecaster.<br> <br> Cheers!<br> <br> Aaron. Mladen Grubelic<br />Great Hollow Tele&reg; style guitar!This Warmoth project started as a 'poor man's ES335' and it ended being more versatile and better sounding than the real thing. Stunning Mahogany w/Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard neck and body with a gorgeous ivoroid bound Quilt Maple top. The handmade pickup surrounds and knobs are solid Rosewood and both pots are push-pull one splits both humbuckers into single coils and the other does the Peter Green sound when both pickups are on. The finish is thin clear gloss nitrocellulose. By the way, this guitar has been autographed by none other than Mr Robben Ford.

Thanks Warmoth! Mike Fitzgerald<br />This is a Tele&reg;/Strat&reg; cross. I stuck the Tele&reg; Bridge p/up in a sawed off Tele&reg; bridge and butted it up against the Wilkinson, so it would hopefully resonate through the guitar. Fender noiseless p/ups a la Nashville wired by Stan Hinesley both volume and tone pots are push/pull, so the tonal varieties are staggering. I love the old Fathead Strat&reg; necks, but this is shaved down a bit. I simply white lacquered it.

Abalone domed chrome knobs. Doug Rice<br />This is my second project guitar. It is swamp ash with a tummy cut and top bound painted graffiti yellow. The neck is a Vintage Modern fatback in flame maple with block inlays and a matching headstock. I used an American Standard bridge and had to order the body without string through holes drilled as they are 3/16 of an inch closer to the neck to make this bridge fit. I put a Duncan mini hum bucker in the neck and a Dimarzio Virtual T in the bridge. It sounds and plays incredible, truly one of a kind. Thanks again for you amazing products. Charles Rathmann<br />Thinline Telecaster&reg; replacement body with black korina top, maple on maple neck, Dimarzio Twang King pickups and four-way switch wired by Andy Rothstein. Dale Siscoe<br />Koa on Mahogany Seymour Duncan Hot rod P/u star markers and Stainless Jumbo frets,Rosewood Cap on neck, Gold Hardware.........sounds so sweet ! Tim Farnsworth<br />My second 'parts' guitar, first Warmoth. I'm so pleased! This 'nashville' style guitar has strat pickups in the neck and middle for strat tones, and all three body contours, for strat comfort. Other features: Clapton soft V neck, Brazilian RW fretboard, and one-piece swamp ash body. I finished it in oil stain followed by tung oil, which wasn't as hard as I expected. Already planning the next beauty!! Thanks so much Warmoth, I couldn't be happier. Nathan Aldrich<br />Here's my Deluxe project. What a beast this one is!<br> <br> Maple/rosewood neck, wolfgang contour + abalone inlays, med jumbo fretwire<br> Sperzel locking tuners, Earvana nut<br> Black korina body, clear gloss finish by warmmoth it's fantastic but I wish I had done an oil finish myself<br> Tuno + stop tail<br> Duncan pickups: Jazz neck, SSL1 single, JB<br> 1052 strings<br> <br> This is the most versatile guitar I've ever played. The humbuckers can both be split, and the middle single coil can be added or removed from the signal at will. So I get a huge range of tones, from sweet clear single coil sounds, raw gritty distorted stuff, and smooth jazz tones. My favorite setting is neck humbucker + middle single coil.<br> <br> In all settings, I get a perfect combination of bright snappiness and warmth. Never shrill, never muddy.<br> <br> I'm so impressed by Warmoth's workmanship. This was my first project, completed months ago. I've already started my next a classic blackguard tele. I love this guitar.<br> <br> P.S. It's heavy! chris doole<br />Hollow maple/mahogany body, 'Moses' graphite neck. Light as a feather.<br> <br> That Seymour 'Blues Saraceno' hum just screams in there with that light body. Great sound. Martin Arundel<br />Ebony on mahogany conversion neck on a mahogany body with heel, tummy and arm cutouts. The paint work was 'pearlescent' white special request. The body weighed 4.6 pounds 2Kg before any hardware was added Eric Barnett<br />This is a replica of Brent Mason's guitar. It was a wedding gift from my wife. We had Brent Mason scheduled to perform at our wedding and my wife thought it would be cool, since I'm a huge Brent Mason fan, to have this guitar built by my guitar tech Johnny Wiggington. I was going to have Brent autograph it at the wedding but we had to cancel the band at the last minute due to stormy weather. But I got to hang out with Brent a few months later in Nashville and he finally autographed my guitar. You can find more pictures of this guitar on my MySpace page, just search for me by my email address ericbarnette5 [at] yahoo [dot] com Rob Torop<br />Alder body, wenge/black ebony neck, Lindy Fralin Blues Special pickups, paint job by Mindy Greenstein priming and sealing by Pat Wilkins Milt Durrett<br />My first project - very pleased with this one. Warmoth modern radius boat neck is flamed koa with ebony board, MOP dot inlays and 6150 medium tall frets. Had it finished with satin back, glossy headstock and custom bone nut by local luthier in Minneapolis builder of the famed Prince cloud guitar. Swamp ash body has subtle tummy cut on back, chamber routing, and an exquisite 1/4" bookmatched tiger flame maple top with orange/pear die and six coats of high gloss conversion lacquer. Fralin Blues Special in neck, Kinman AVn59 in middle and Rio Muy Grande in bridge with 5 pos wiring, but straight up position is neck/bridge like a Tele instead of middle only. Gold hardware includes Wilkinson bridge with compensated Glendale Intone brass saddles outstanding, Sperzel locking tuners, Electrosocket input jack, dome knobs and oversize staplocks. Love the aesthetics, versatile tonality and playability. Jane Newton<br />An upgraded Broadcaster-style Project. The only guitar I've ever built and a complete success too. <br> Gold orig. vintage hardware, messing Fender bridge, one-piece raw macassar ebony neck Warmoth, compound radius, one-piece extra light swamp ash body Warmoth, Kinman Broadcaster Pickups, bakelite pickguard. Zoltan Horvath<br />Hi there! This is my Warmoth EVH T-Style, Swamp Ash solid body, one piece std thin birdseye neck, oil wax finished, head sprayed with tinted nitro laquer still lacks a logo, 6100 frets, sperzel tuners, bone nut, Dimarzio Chopper, SD alnico 2 pro pickups, custom body contours kind of Richie Kotzen T-Style specs. Body is finished with Standox Acryl laquer. I'm really pleased with the Warmoth parts, good quality woods, thanks for helping my dream come true!!!! Donald Fowler<br />This is my second Warmoth build. T-Style with tummy and forearm cut. I painted it with Reranch Vintage White and finished the neck with high gloss nitro lacquer. Parchment pickguard with Kinman Broadcaster pickups and a 4-way selector. Donald Fowler<br />This is my 4th Warmoth build. Quilt maple and mahogany hollow body. Finished by Warmoth, in clear gloss with tummy and forearm cuts. I finished the Warmoth T-Style neck with Tru Oil sanded to a satin finish. Pickups are WCR Crossroads. All hardware from Warmoth. Nice lightweight screamin' T-Style guitar. Doug Rice<br />For years I have wanted a late 70's Deluxe with a trem, they are hard to find. I had the swamp ash body with the transparent yellow finish made to be as close to an aged 70's natural as I could. I put an American vintage tremolo on it but I changed the saddles to the diecast to be more period correct. When I got it together I was blown away with how great it looked and played. Pretty much now my dream guitar. I can't wait until my next project guitar. Rich Santoli<br />The Thinline T-Style was my first Warmoth guitar that I started in 1996. I just finished it in 2007 with the addition of the hybrid vintage pearl pickguard and a 4 way switch. It has a Warmoth pro birds eye maple neck with Sperzels, 6150 frets, a bone nut and a satin finish. The body is swamp ash with a Tobacco finish. It has Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups.<br> <br> John Daniel<br />I built this guitar in 2006. This is my first<br> attempt at building a custom. It is a 6.5 lb.<br> piece of hard ash from the showcase. I finished it with umpteen coats of tung oil.<br> The neck is padouk, with an ebony board, MOP,<br> and it has a Kingwood laminate between the two. Stainless frets & graphite nut.<br> I used Jason Lollar Special T's and the<br> pickguard, bridge, control plate, knobs, & neck plate are from Eldorado Straps. The guts<br> of the beast is a wiring harness from HASSOUND. 5way p/u selector, push/pull midrange cicuit, orange drop caps... the whole shebang.<br> Plays like melted butter with sustain for <br> an eternity. Highly pleased with the craftsmanship & attention to detail that Warmoth put into the pieces. Can't wait to build another. Thanx. Nigel Carter<br />I wanted to try to get that 1950 Broadcaster vibe, so everything is attached with old style slotted screws, including the bakelite pickguard. This was built using a Warmoth Showcase body of Swamp Ash and vintage modern neck of onepiece birdseye maple. Pickups are Lindy Fralin Broadcaster +5% overwound and they sound fabulous. <br> Tuners are Gotoh vintagestyle staggered post tuners, so no string tree is necessary see photo below. All the the other hardware is from Callaham guitars with virtual vintage compensated saddles in the bridge. I also used a copper foil paper in oil 0.047uf capacitor Angela/Jensen and the guitar has a tone control that really works! I find it gives so many great tones I no longer just leave the tone pot wide open and mess with stomp boxes/amps to get various sounds. Now that`s a first for me a guitar with a tone control I want to use.<br> <br> Thanks to Warmoth for providing such high quality parts and service. Everything was absolutely first rate. I have compared this guitar to recent 1952 reissues and a custom shop 1951 nocaster reissue and even though it`s subjective, I think this is a better guitar for playability, feel and sound. It doesn`t look half bad, either. Bill Keaveny<br />This is the fourth Warmoth T-Style guitar I have built. I saw the swamp ash body in the showcase. It was very light so I grabbed it. I didn't have a clue what I would do with it so it really was an impulse. I got a Warmoth neck made from bubinga with a kingwood board, standard thin with compound radius, 6130 fretwire and a graphite nut. It's got all Warmoth hardware on it and I fitted a pair of phat cat P90s. I did the finish myself, satin clear poly over a light grain filler on the body and a light coat of the same finish over the raw neck. It feels great and sounds amazing. Setting it up was a cinch, as always with Warmoth parts, take a bow boys and girls, you've done it again. Bill Early<br />This is my first T-Style guitar purchased in 1970 and used with a Warmoth body with a quilted maple top over swamp ash which I completed in 2006. It has a Lindy Fralin Blues Special neck pickup and a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge pickup and Warmoth black knobs on RS SolidShaft Superpots, installed by RSGuitarWorks here in Winchester, KY. RS did the electronics and setup and the action is low and fast. Rudy Williams<br />THIS IS MY FIRST WARMOTH PROJECT. IT HAS 72 THINLINE PICKUPS WITH A S-STYLE NECK, AND WILKERSON WHAMMY. WARMOTH DID THE BLACK FINSH OVER THE ASH BODY. IT IS A WILD GUITAR AND WITH NO TONE BUTTON AND EMG POWER BOOSTER, IT GOES FROM JAZZ TO ROCK TO FUSION. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN PUTTIN THIS TOGETHER. IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST PROJECT. Rudy Williams<br />HELLO, THIS IS MY SECOND WARMOTH T-STYLE GUITAR. IT GOT THE BODY FROM THE SHOWCASE. THE SOUND IS VERY GRETSCH LIKE WITH THE GFS PICKUPS PLUS THE FENDER TBX TONE CONTROL. IT HAS A LOT OF EYE APPEAL WITH THE GOLD HARDWARE FROM WARMOTH. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE. Rudy Williams<br />HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT MY POWERED T-STYLE GUITAR.<br> THIS IS MY THIRD WARMOTH GUITAR. IT IS A SPALTED MAPLE TOP ON ALDER THAT I GOT FROM THE SHOWCASE. IT IS FITTED WITH A ZAKE WYLDE EMG HUMBUCKER SET WITH A PS1 BOOSTER PREAMP, AND A PS2 PHASE INVERTER,AND SPERZEL TURNERS. Bill Van Nimwegen<br />Here is a fun axe to jam the blues and rockout on the bridge position. It is a light weight ash body and vintage modern neck with jumbo frets. I decided to call on Warmoth after I made this same guitar out of MM parts and finished it myself. Warmoth's neck, body and finish are far superior to the prototype and now I have a keeper! I used Harmonic Design VP90 pups, a HipShot bridge and 500K pots. The HDs are totally noiseless! Graham Hay<br />This is the TwangBuster.<br> <br> What was intended purely as a platform for a custom made and unique combined Tremolo and B-Bender mechanism grew into a 'Dream Guitar' project.<br> <br> I like Tele's but I also like Gretsch 6120's. This guitar marries the two with a bit of Strat thrown in for good measure.<br> <br> A Warmoth quilted maple topped Tele Thinline replacement body with a Warmoth Pro birdseye maple/brazilian rosewood neck. Pickups are Kinman Tele and Strat and a 1957 vintage Gretsch DeArmond. Together with the very resonant body they produce a truly huge and vibrant sound.<br> <br> What you cannot see here, because only one photo is allowed, is the incredible John Berg Trem-Bender mechanism that is visible through a lexan cover at the rear.<br> <br> There is a full writeup and lots of pics, including John Berg's Trem-Bender mechanism, at the following URL address:<br> <br> http://grazer.free.fr/html/GuitarGallery/twangbuster_a.htm Aaron Friedman<br />This is my second Warmoth guitar project: the body is a bookmatched Koa top over Koa with a clear gloss finish applied by the folks at Warmoth. I decided to go without a pickguard because of the beautiful Koa figuring around the neck area. The neck is unfinished Ziricote with '59 Roundback contour, 6105 stainless frets, graphite nut & retainer, and Planet Waves Auto Trim tuners, which I highly recommend. Gold hardware throughout, except for the fret wire.<br> <br> The electronics are all Kinman. The pickups are Kinman's Broadcaster set AVn48n/AVn48b and I chose to get his No-Soldering harness TK4, which comes with a 4way switch, because I didn't want to mess the soldering up and diminish the sound coming from these primo pickups. Consequently the guitar was extremely easy & quick to assemble. I received the parts Friday evening and by Saturday afternoon it was built. By Sunday morning I'd finished tweaking the neck action, intonation, and pickup height and that was that.<br> <br> I am once again very pleased with the craftsmanship of the folks at Warmoth and I'm looking forward to project #3. Barak Levy<br />This Is my first Warmoth guitar.<br> The body is swamp ash with flame top routed for 2 hum: S.D JB4 at the bridge & SH2 at the neck.<br> The neck is an original maple model.<br> Tha guitar sound great a gibson touch in the sound with the comfort of Fender.<br> Thanks Mark Dewey<br /> David Salchak<br />I think this is my favorite Warmoth project so far. The configuration is just the essentials: a volume control and a switch. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Alinco II's which fit my style nicely. The neck contour is a '59 Roundback, which after using both the thin and fat necks, I find is the perfect compromise.<br> <br> The gutiar is very light weight and easy to play. It is such a nice alternative to the Strats I usually play that I find myself wondering why I didn't make one of these earlier.<br> <br> david@salchak.com George Seaton<br />My first effort, using a Warmoth showcase double-bound Lake Placid Blue body and Warmoth custom flame maple neck and ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot markers. In addition to the Warmoth-supplied pickguard and Gotoh bridge, I added Fender SCN pickups, wired with a 4-way switch, Sperzel locking tuners, and fancy-schmancy pearl top knobs. I'm very happy with the results and have also done a matching Lake Placid Blue droptop Strat. Bill Keaveny<br />The body is mahogany with a canary top. It's got a strat style neck pocket to fit a great looking canary neck with an ebony board I found in the showcase. Neck pickup is a JB model S/Duncan and the bridge is a StagMag SH3. The 5 way switch gives the normal selections plus two single coil tapped settings. The tremolo and body contours make it a sort of hybrid, very versatile. All the parts are Warmoth sourced and I finished it with Danish oil, lots of it! Bill Keaveny<br />The body is a contoured solid of mahogany. I ordered it with a maple pinstripe and a padauk top. The neck is also padauk and has the best ebony board I have ever seen. It has little streaks in it that look like marble, it's crazy. I put a pearly gates in the neck and a custom/custom in the bridge. It's got a 5 way switch in it and the sounds go from George Benson to George Thorogood no problem. I sprayed this one with satin clear and it just oozes class. I'm not taking the credit for that, the quality is all in the materials. Warmoth do great stuff Billy Coulter<br />David Smallwood http://dsmallwood.com designed and painted this Warmoth Hollow Tele body of swamp ash and flame maple top. <br/><br/>It features a Fishman piezo Powerbridge for pseudoacoustic tones that resonate nicely within the chambered body. A Kinman 48b bridge pickup and a Joe Barden Twotone HB in the neck are both wired to a 5way switch for a variety of tones. Ebony fretboard on a maple neck w/painted headstock. Aaron Friedman<br />Here is my first guitar project, a 72 Thinline, with some modifications. The body is Mahogany, and the neck is Wenge with an Ebony fretboard, 6105 stainless steel frets, and Schaller mini locking tuners. The pickups are the Fender wide range (reissue) humbuckers that come standard in the 72, purchased from Warmoth. I was a little disappointed that Warmoth routed the body for the 2 height-adjustment screws that most humbuckers have, instead of the Fender pickups 4-mounting-screw configuration - I had to cut the mounting screws short to make them fit. But in every other way I was very impressed with Warmoths craftsmanship.<br/><br/> The wiring is what makes this guitar so versatile. I have a push-pot on the tone knob, which is wired for coil-splitting, giving me the option to switch between the outer coils of each humbucker. I also have a 4-way switch, which gives me the choice between each coil individually, both wired in parallel, and both wired in series for that extra crunch. When you factor in the coil-splitting, thats a total of 8 distinct sounds, compared to 3 on the original 72. All parts (except the 4-way switch, the pickup mounting screws, and the Schaller tuners) were purchased from Warmoth.<br/><br/> I love the tones I can get out of this baby, and I highly recommend the Wenge/Ebony combo for necks. It is oh so smooth and fun to play on. Thanks Warmoth - we will do business again soon! Robert Goodrum<br />This was my first attempt at building a guitar and everything went together very easily and fitted properly. The hardest part was the wiring which took a couple of goes to get everything working correctly.<br/><br/> The body is of swamp ash sprayed by a local furniture restorer in a satin finish and the neck is vintage modern also in a satin finish.<br/><br/> Pickups are Seymour-Duncan Alnico II Pro Series and other hardware included an Electrosocket, Gotoh bridge and Gotoh SG38 tuners.<br/><br/> Final set-up after building was by Nigels Guitar Workshop in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Bruce Anthony<br />here it is. Hollow swamp ash/swamp ash, finished with KTM-9, hand-rubbed to a medium gloss. Gotoh brass bridge, Harmonic Design hot pups, CTS 500K pots, and a four position switch. Very warm, very musical, very LOUD, and quite versatile. I've used it for several gigs now and have no complaints. It weighs 6lbs., 1 oz., and is ever so easy on my back.<br><br> Thanks for a superior product at a reasonable price. You guys know your stuff. Jay Winbourne<br />Shell Pink beauty made from a poplar body and a rosewood over bird's eye "fat" neck with vintage style frets. Though finished with clear nitro lacquer that looks great, the nitro is softer and more difficult to apply. Next time it will be polyu over my color of choice.<br><br> Thanks Warmoth Chris Friel<br />The Body is Swamp Ash, custom painted with a Dragonburst on the front and back and finished off with a cream binding on the top and bottom edges. The neck is birds eye maple with a Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard.<br><br> For the pickups I selected a Duncan Vintage rhythm on the neck and the bridge is a Duncan Little '59.<br><br> All the metal fixtures are Gold colored to accent the body colors. The guitar was assembled and set up by renowned Luthier Paul Unkert in Toms River, NJ. Darin Pojar<br />Another fun project completed. Thanks Warmoth! Mattias Petersson <br />Another fun project completed. Thanks Warmoth! Dan Allen<br /> Keith Oberdieck<br />I sure hope this works. Here is a photo of my First Warmoth Guitar. I call it a Caveman. It's a rear routed Black Korina, with a Rosewood and Maple 24 and 3/4 scale, Warmoth peg head neck. With a Big Boat back contour, and 6100 frets. I stained the Maple with a wash of Light Walnut, and then finished it with Six coats of Tung Oil, polishing it in between coats with triple 0 steel wool. Then I installed Gotoh SG38 Tuners. Now the Body. I started with a basic Tele Body. First I cut 1in. off of the lower heel point. Then I carved a belly cut in the rear, and did a heel contour. On the front I carved the top and rounder over all the edges. Making the whole body appear very slim . I finished off sanding the body with 600 grit paper. The Finish is 8 coats of Deft Semi Gloss lacquer out of a rattle can , with sanding in between coats. No grain fillers were use, because I like to feel the grain. I finished it off with a Hipshot Bridge, Kent Armstrong closed Humbucker pickups, 500K pots, a Gibson 3 way switch , and D'Addario EXL110 strings. It has a very mellow Jazzy sound, and is very nice to play. Now I am just waiting for the right piece of wood to come up on the showcase to start my next project.<br><br> Thanks, Jakl Jaromir<br />Warmoth project: neck mahogany and ebony. Bodies mahogany with f hole .Transparent red paint.<br><br> Hardware : Pickups PAF Humbucker Tonerider Alnico IV sets .Bridge Gotoh, tuning Sperzel and picguard<br><br> Warmoth ceuloid tortillas. I can high recommend Pickups Alnico IV from Tonerider sound is very<br><br> good. All parts from Warmoth was very fine produced.<br><br> Thanks, Chris Shull<br />The body is swamp ash with a AAA flame maple top dyed black. It has Seymour Duncan five-two pickups.<br><br> The neck is a 13 degree angled tele neck with 6105 stainless frets. It also has a wizard contour.<br><br> This project was well worth the wait. I couldn't have got a regular production guitar with all of the options that I wanted.<br><br> Thanks Warmoth, Will Buxton<br />Hello again to all the folks at Warmoth,<br><br> I completed my second Warmoth guitar,and once again I am very happy with the results! This guitar is a mahogany body with a bound ziracote top, flamed anagre neck with a kingwood fretboard. The pickups were hand made by the famous Bill Lawerence! The frets are medium jumbo and all the hardware is chrome. As usual the warmoth workmanship was fantastic!<br><br> This is the most resonant, best playing guitar I have ever played, and it sounds incredible!<br><br> Thanks again and keep up the good work. Saverio Montana<br />My second Warmoth,a 1 one piece swamp ash tele body and 1 piece modern/vintage neck. i finished in nitro-cellulose amber, pickups are Seymuor Duncan HOT tele.This guitar sounds fantastic,a great GUITAR!!!<br><br> Thank you agian Warmoth.. A special thanks to Dan for his technical suport. Mike Strong<br />Mike Strong here from Indianapolis. You guys are the best on the planet. Your necks are the best money can buy and oh so fast! Your compound radius is state of the art. Doug Albrethsen<br />This is my second custom built guitar, thanks to Warmoth. It's a northern hard ash body painted candy apple red metallic, birds eye maple neck and fret board, and hot hot single coil Seymour Duncan pickups with white binding front and back. If you like string stretching, chicken pickin, butt kickin twang, you will absolutely love this guitar. That's what this guitar was built for. A special thanks to the guys at Warmoth for doing such a great job.<br><br> Adam Davis<br />This is my completed Warmoth Project. It has a Warmoth Bubinga Boatneck with a Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard. The Warmoth Body is Swamp Ash with the Flame Maple Top in Tobacco Burst. Hardware consists of Steinberger gearless Tuners (start carrying these!), and a Gotoh Black Chrome Tele Bridge. The Pickup is a Dimarzio X2N wired as can be viewed on their website. Marco <br /> Bill Bristow<br />Here is my submission for "the gallery". This is a recently completed Warmoth. It is a mahogany body with a pau ferro neck. I cannot say enough about the great qualities of the pau ferro neck. The frets are 6150 stainless. I used Planet Waves tuners which I highly endorse. The pickups are the Rio Grande "Big Bottom" set, which I also highly endorse. I used a 5 way super switch to split the coils. This axe is just full of tone. I could write a book about it's harmonic range and capabilities.. Thanks Warmoth for your ultra high quality craftsmanship, and customer service. Frank M. Brigandi<br />If you can't find a vintage guitar that will suit your budget, make one.<br><br> This was constructed using a one piece body and maple neck. The pickups are: bridge seymour duncan Stl2 and the neck is a fender texas special pick up. The finish is a nitrocellulous Black lacquer paint and nitro clear coat. I sprayed this body outside behind my bicycle shop. Looks great, sounds great. this will age nicely.<br><br> thanks, Frank M. Brigandi Tom Redding<br />The body is a mahogany back with a flamed maple top. It is finished in Les Paul Amber, with the edge left unstained like a PRS. The back is clear. The neck is birdseye maple and vintage modern construction. The pickups are Seymour Duncan with a stacked humbucker in the neck position and their bridge humbucker. Everything was assembled and finished by Dan Shinn and the staff at Lay's Guitar in Akron. Dan advised me and your staff helped me make sure everything came out right.<br><br> Thanks. Azlan Ahmad<br />My first Warmoth - contoured T-style swamp ash body with Warmoth Showcase one piece maple modern/vintage construction. Finished in nitro-cellulose amber tint by GG at Klasik'A Studio in Gombak, MALAYSIA.<br><br> Pickups are Seymour Duncan '59 (n) and Seymour Duncan Hot Rails (b). Callaham plates and knobs.<br><br> Unplugged, Amplified, Clean, Over-driven - you name it - pretty much nails it to my satisfaction. This guitar's a dream!<br><br> IMHO - Warmoth truly sets the standard in quality parts and accessories.<br><br> Again - Thank you very much, Rick Wilson<br />This is my latest Warmoth. It is the first of my 5 Warmoths that I had built entirely from scratch. It is a hollow mahogany body with body contours and a 5A flame maple top. It is finished in tobacco sunburst top and brown stain back. The neck is a ?59 roundback Warmoth Pro with black ebony fretboard. The neck wood is mahogany with a flame maple front cap and matching finish.<br><br> The pick-ups are a Lindy Fralin SP43 lead and a Gibson ?57 classic reissue humbucker. Lindy put gold screw pole pieces in it for me, and the tone is like a soapbar with a tele bite to it. This is a great guitar for country, blues, rock, and jazz. Played through a good clean amp, neck pick-up with tone on 5?this is a jazz guitarists dream!<br><br> It also has solid ebony V/T knobs and a LP 3-way switch. I had it built with no control holes drilled?and I had the holes drilled exactly where I wanted them. I used a strat hard tail bridge as to leave all of this beautiful wood uncovered.<br><br> Please check out my Black Korina Strat in the strat section, as these two are my main two guitars now. I am convinced that if you were to buy this level of beauty and quality off the rack you would easily pay $3,000 each for them. They are fabulous!<br><br> Thanks especially to Jay and Eric for all their help with this. Dave Longboat<br />Hi Guys, I thought I'd send a picture of my "Hot Rod" project, made with Warmoth parts. It has a Mahogany body with a nicely quilted maple top. I "finished" the body by rubbing in several coats of boiled linseed oil, followed by several coats of wipe-on poly. She also sports a rosewood on maple 24 3/4" scale conversion neck with 6100 frets, original Floyd Rose tremolo, EMG 81 and 85 pickups, and a single volume control. This is my first Warmoth project, and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I'm already planning my next one, and I'm also considering replacing the necks on some of my other guitars with Warmoth necks! Thanks to all at Warmoth for manufacturing high quality products along with professional service! Tom Swaelen<br />I bought the body on eBay, and the seller said it was either an American or a Japanese body.<br><br> The neck is Warmoth Pro neck, quartersawn maple with some birdseyes, jumbo frets, graphite nut, black headstock.<br><br> I have chosen the largest available size frets, and they feel VERY good. The neck has a gloss finish, but is very fast, and plays like butter.<br><br> Cal Evans<br />The body turned out wonderfully and I was thrilled with the service and advice from the Warmoth sales and tech staff.<br><br> Thanks for helping me build the guitar I have always wanted. Roger Boldry<br />This is a little while ago now but I thought you may be interested in my telecaster project build, for which the finished body was supplied by yourselves. A Tokai Breezysound neck is fitted and Bare Knuckle Brown Sugar pick ups plus all American switch gear.<br><br> It is a delight!<br><br> Thank you Jack Wells<br />Hello,<br><br> The Straight Paddle Warmoth "Pro" looked like a good starting point for the neck. I cut the headstock and finished the neck with several coats of lacquer. I ordered it with the widest neck possible (1 3/4") and vintage frets. I order it without fretboard markers and added my own.<br><br> The body, control plate and pickguard are homemade. The body is Ponderosa Pine. The control plate was cut from aluminum and polished. The bridge is the three saddle style. The body was painted with Krylon and clear coated with several coats of Deft Gloss lacquer before final sanding and polishing.<br><br> Regards, Wade C. Boring<br />This is my first Warmoth. It was stolen in 2004 and just recently recovered and returned to me. It has a tung oiled swamp ash body and a maple neck w/pau ferro fretboard. The pickups are a Duncan Custom P-90 in the neck and a Hot P-90 in the bridge. Tunomatic bridge and concentric volume/tone keep the look clean and simple. Everything just came together on this one and it sounds great.<br><br> Michael Bovee<br />Here is a photo of my Warmoth Hollow Mahagany body, w/duncan SH2n and SH4b, Palasander Rosewood neck w/brazilizn rosewood board, 6015 ss frets, graphite nut, planet wave tuners, sonic blue w/top binding. Well balanced, excellent sustain, wonderful neck. My first Warmoth came out extremely well thanks to your excellent products and support.<br><br> Thank you all so much. I don't see how anyone could make a better guitar! Jay Winbourne<br />This turned out great and a is REALLY nice player. Great twang! The body is burled/flamed maple over alder and the neck is rosewood over birds eye. Finish is minwax natural stain applied over minwax wood conditioner. Sealed with 3 light coats of fast drying minwax glossy polyu. 10 additional coats of minwax wipe on glossy polyu and the last 3 were lightly wet sanded with 600, 1500, and 2000 grain paper. 1 final "finishing" coat left alone to dry. SD STR-1 neck and STL-1 Bridge pups. All parts ordered from Warmoth with the exception of Gotoh locking vintage tuners and Glendale compensated saddles.<br><br> The Warmoth Pro neck is awesome!<br><br> This was my first, but not last project! Everything fit nicely, and with the final setup completed, this is now my number 1 player. Peter Mendel<br />Dear Warmoth,<br><br> I'm writing to you to thank you for your incredible work, attention to detail and your exquisite final product. I ordered a very custom guitar and you guys really came through for me. The guitar is a mahogany body, fully hollow with a koa top and two f holes. The neck is mahogany as well, but with a conversion scale length of 24 3/4" which makes the strings feel like butter. There's a ebony board with no inlays and great 6105 fret wire. I had a local guy shoot a thin layer of nitro cellulose and the thing feels like bare wood, its great!! Seymour Duncan custom wound me some great humbuckers, and the tune-o-matic bridge really feels good and stays right in tune. i put a graphite nut and great locking tuners on it so the whole guitar breathes as one. it sounds and feels amazing and a few people have even asked me to build a few for them. I play mostly acid jazz/fusion/rock/funk and this guitar does them all. I'm going to use it on the next album, and its already played the rest of the tour!<br><br> I'm very pleased with the results, far past how good i predicted, so thank you warmoth for helping me to build my dream!!!<br><br> If you'd like to see more photos or hear some tracks that this guitar was played on, feel free to contact: John Bitenc<br />Meet Ruby, Lefty and ready to rock! I received this beautiful swamp ash body with humbucker routs in 1992. At that time I had Denny Rauen, the high guru of guitar repair in Milwaukee, paint the body translucent red. He used a staining technique to darken the wood grain in order to make it pop threw the finish. Needless to say I was very pleased and have played Ruby all over the USA ever since. About 3 months ago I got a want to convert Ruby into a 12 string. After much thought I decided to special order a Satin (blood wood) 12 string neck from Warmoth. I could not be happier with the end result. Thank you Warmoth for all the incredible attention to detail you bring to each piece I order from you! Richard Gagnon<br />Just though I would share my new acquisition with you, guitar lovers!<br><br> A vingtage white guitar with Mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. The two pick ups are Fender Texas special Notice the great looking bridge with the 3 brass saddles.<br><br> OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! For now what more can a guitarist ask for.<br><br> Thank you Warmoth and of course Johnny B. Guitars in Montreal for putting it together.<br><br> Until next time! Dave Pigott<br />Here are some pics of a bottle opener I made with some of your hardware on it..haha. The joke being someone had to go upstairs for a bottle opener every time we jammed. I said," I'm gonna build a guitar with a bottle opener on it". This was the result. The P90 sounds good, and the guitar really plays well. The guys in Molly Hatchet got a kick out of it. Do you like the swivel beer holder? The guitar was a little top heavy and the holder with a beer in it seemed to balance it out. Next guitar I build will also have your body and neck on it....maybe a Corona bottle opener too...haha. Tom Swaelen<br />Here are the specs:<br><br> Body:<br> Swamp ash body<br> Semi-hollow with f-hole<br> Double black binding<br> Neck pickup: Seymour Duncan Danelectro Lipstick pickup for Strat<br> Bridge Pickup: Dimarzio Bluesbucker<br> 1 volume knob + coil split for the Bluesbucker<br> 1 tone knob + phase switch<br> Neck:<br> Quarter-sawn maple neck<br> Ebony fretboard<br> Abalone inlays<br> Jumbo stainless steel frets<br> Locking tuners<br> Gotoh truss-rod side-adjuster<br><br> The guitar sustains like hell, and both pickups sound really good. The neck pickup really does have that lipstick pickup jangle and shimmer, and the Bluesbucker, which is supposed to be a P90 sound - packs a nice punch and drives my Peavey Classic 30 well for classic rock sounds.<br><br> Thanks to everybody at Warmoth and especially Jay for his patience when dealing with me :-) Neil Jendon<br />Hey, where are all the baritones? This is my first project with Warmoth parts. The body is mahogany with a French polish; the neck is a Warmoth baritone conversion made from Goncalvo Alves with a rosewood fingerboard, stainless steel frets and no finish. Those natty looking pickups are Chandler CC-90's. Also got a 4-position tele switch (absolute best thing you can do to a tele, assuming you like teles. You do like teles, right?)<br><br> The fit and finish on Warmoth parts are remarkable, and the customer service is a model for the industry. After the final coat of shellac dried, the guitar came together in an hour. It sounds and feels fantastic, and I've been playing the crap out of it for the past 8 months. My advice to anyone considering this is 1. put your fears aside, 2. do a little reading on setup, finishing and wiring while you wait for your order, 3. pop for the stainless steel frets (it's hard to imagine life without them now.)<br><br> And finally, play a bari; regular guitars feel like toys after a week with one of these. Adam Bean<br />My dad and I just finished working on this project. We're both pretty amazed at how well it turned out!<br><br> We started with a beautiful piece of incredibly light swamp ash from Warmoth. I really wanted to design a unique guitar so we started with a block of wood and went from there. We added custom forearm and belly cuts (beer-belly cut!) as well as contouring in 1/4 inch behind the neck pocket for better upper register access. I finished the body in jello-orange nitrocellulose. We designed and cut the pickguard as well.<br><br> The neck is a Warmoth quarter-sawn maple with ebony fingerboard, standard profile, no dots. I originally bought a padouk/ebony neck but the ash body is so light that the padouk made it top heavy. Anyway I found a great home for that neck too!<br><br> Pickups are P-90's from Vintage Vibe Guitars (amazing pickups, check them out if you get a chance.) Hipshot bridge, kluson tuners, 3-way megaswitch and standard tele wiring round it out.<br><br> This guitar truly plays and sounds amazing; I can't put it down. My other guitars are collecting dust. You really can't beat a custom-designed guitar that fits you like a glove, it's like coming home!<br><br> Needless to say, I'm already planning the next one.<br><br> Anyway, thanks to all at Warmoth, you do a great job! Portland, Maine Doug Albrethsen<br />This is my first custom guitar from Warmoth. It is Northern Hard Ash with bookmatch Lacewood front and back, cream binding front and back, Birds Eye Maple neck and fretboard, chrome pick guard and hardware, and Fender vintage pickups. The picture does not do this guitar justice. Thanks to Warmoth, I'm in the process of building my second guitar. Carlos Lorenzo<br />My 6th Warmoth, also built for one of my bandmates, has a swamp ash Showcase body and a custom made birdseye + flame maple neck finished in Vintage Tint which has to be one of the most stunning pieces of wood I've seen. The tuners are Kluson and the saddles are compensated for better intonation. The neck has a boat back profile and abalone dots, a bone nut and stainless steel frets. The pickups are Seymour Duncan '54 (N) and Jerry Donahue (B). The switch is a 4-way with a series option for a fatter / hotter sound that adds versatility. The resonance of the wood playing unplugged is amazing and it nails the tone of the original. Mike Gray<br /> Martin Nock<br />I've been dreaming for years of building my own special guitar, finally this dream has come true. Be honest, isn't it a beauty?<br><br> In the showcase I found this amazing swamp-ash hollow body with a cool f-hole and it was, by the way, a real bargain ! The neck is of beautifully grained birdseye maple (which unfortunately cannot be seen on the picture) with a rosewood fretboard. I chose a standard thin profile, 6105 medium jumbo frets and fitted Schaller locking machines.<br><br> Neck and body were treated with a linseed oil product (Livos Ardvos, great stuff)<br><br> Pickups are hand wound by Harry H?ussel (the german pickup guru): On the neck position a Alnico5 w/o cap, on the bridge side a Broadcaster type.<br><br> It has perfect rock-a-billy and blues tone, plays GREAT and feels so smooth & silky, that I prefer it to all my other guitars. Glen Saxby<br />This is my version of Jonny Greenwood's guitar. It's a beautiful -- and incredibly light -- one-piece swamp ash body with a quartersawn maple neck. I wanted my guitar to look fairly minimalistic, but it has a few tricks up its sleeves. The pickups were both made by Lindy Fralin, and the humbucker can be split by pulling the tone knob out. The mini-switch between the two knobs cuts the signal off completely. I have yet to buy a decent amp to play this on, but it even sounds great on my little practice amp! Many thanks to the Warmoth crew! Zack Sosebee<br />AAA flamed maple with swamp ash back; semi-hollow style. (amber finish) Very bright tone. Fully scalloped birdseye maple neck w/ rosewood fretboard (SUPERFAST NECK) Pickups: Seymour Duncan Hot Rails w/ DPDT push/pull pot and Vintage 57 in the neck (strange combination, i know...but you'd be surprised! AMAZING tone) Chrome/Black Hardware<br><br> Thanks, Warmoth, for a GREAT project!! James Dickinson<br />Hi, this is my guitar from your body and neck, painted it surf green, hope you guys post it on your site, thanks very much, Wade C. Boring<br />OK, here's my newest Warmoth creation. This one is a modified version of the Custom Shop Guitar. It has a Mahogany neck and body, both with a very nice clear red finish by Warmoth. The fretboard is ebony and the headstock is gloss black. The pickups are by Harmonic Design, a Z-90 in the neck and a Super 90 in the bridge. As you might guess they are both wound like P-90's.Gibson speed knobs round out the "Tele in Gibson clothes" look. This guitar sounds very much like another Blues monster.<br><br> Thanks very much to Dan at Warmoth for keeping an eye on things and all his help. Laurent M. Lapierre<br />Here is a link to pix of my new guitar made entirely of Warmoth parts. Maybe you guys will post it in your gallery.<br><br> Best regards Aaron Baker<br />Aaron Baker, our expert Machinists and CNC opperator has a new and beautiful lady in his life, and he wants to show her off! Patterend after the sound of 60s Bakersfield he built this custom guitar using Lace Sencor pickups. The spank is all there in spades, the tone is perfect! Sami Heinonen<br />Here is my latest creation: It features a fatback Warmoth 24 3/4 conversion maple R/W neck. The body is maple. Both of the PU:s are switchable for coiltap by P/P knobs switches. Belive me this thing screams! It's works just as good for Jazz, country, blues and rock sounds. It's sound like a LP on acid! Both of the PU:s are switchable for coiltap by P/P knobs switches and it has a standard 3-way switch. The saddle is custom made of very finest nothern swedish raindeer horn/bone. It's fretted with stainless steel frets that works amaizingly well with the shorterscale board. Playing this thing fells almost like having Billy Gibbons spirit next to you! Thoose long pitched tones just flows out of it. The tone is so unbelivebly long and tight and and the peak is s o versile. You can't either thump it ilke a guitar or you can smoothly squeeze the tone to instant overtones across the board! Everytime i take this thing out of the case, people just go: -Damn!!! And when i plug it in the sound guy does the same !!! Gabor Benko<br />Hi, everybody!<br><br> This is my guitar with swamp ash body & curly maple top. It has Lindy Fralin PU-s and goldhardware from GoLDO.<br><br> thanks for this Lady Tom Lauder<br />Here a few shots of my recently completed project. It's a Warmoth Walnut guitar body finished in clear nitro lacquer with a Warmoth Rosewood/Rosewood neck left unfinished. The pickups are Lindy Fralin Blues Specials and all the hardware is from Callaham Guitars. As the saying goes "Pictures dont do it justice". Brian Waterbury<br />I got the guitar together and here are a few pics of it. I love it and it sounds great! I'm sure that body is contributing mightily to how well it sounds!!! Sorry the neck ain't a warmouth, but I had to have the bloodwood fretboard/bird's eye neck!! It compliments the awesome body you guys shipped!!! Tell your shop that everyone who sees this axe shits in their pannts and it has THE warmest sound I have ever heard!<br><br> Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil Adair<br />I call her the Shadcaster.<br><br> It was a humble project with Warmoth Showcase body (semi hollow Maple Quilt cap on Alder) and Warmoth Pro neck. I added a used Fender PG, a Callaham Vintage T kit, and some OC Duff vintage pups wound to spec. I spent many hours mesauring multiple times so as to only drill once.<br><br> She's light, and very resonant. Tone out he whazoo and I love the Warmoth Pro neck.<br><br> Thanks Stefano Puccianti<br />Hi, I'm Stefano Puccianti from Italy, this is my new creation!<br><br> It has a Warmoth neck, birdseye maple and ebony fingerboard...the body is self made, 7 tonal chambers inside, ash, wenge and a beautiful flame-birdseye maple top!!...the hardware is Warmoth....seymour duncan single coil pickups!!<br><br> look!! ;-)) Brian Mason<br />Here is my new Warmoth. Double bound Creme/Black body with flame maple neck. Gotoh bridge with Seymour Duncan Lil '59 at the bridge & stock single coil at the neck. Push pot as volume knob to split the coil of the Duncan. Black Schaller locking tuners complete the package.<br><br> This thing went together so easily with minimal set-up needed. It just looks, feels & plays like a boutique guitar worth 3 times what i have into it.<br><br> Great products Warmoth! bmason@rochester.rr.com Alex Fielden<br />Hi, on the recommendation of William, here goes:<br><br> Superlight Warmoth swampash body, matching big boat neck, both cellulose finished, Gibson P90's from a Townshend SG, Sperzel locking tuners for live quick change. This guitar is just fantastic, sounds almost like playing thro a soft compressor - all pickup positions are equally loud with a real 'ring'. So light its almost, but not quite, neck heavy.<br><br> The 'guitar stand' is a '68 plexi 100 with matching 4x12 awaiting restoration. Sadly, it used to be white! Marcin Lisak<br />Body - one piece swamp ash, neck - maple with rosewood fingerboard (made by warmoth), bridge - wilkinson BE HT100TH, pickups - riogrande bastard (neck) and fat bastard (bridge). Standard tele 3-way switch. Pickguard - custom made - walnut wood. Sperzel Trim-Lok tuners. Graph tech nut.<br><br> Guitar was made by Krzysztof Skalba from Krosno, Poland. Than I made some customizing :) (pickups, pickguard, switch).<br><br> Regards! Jack Wells<br />Ferden XII consisting of a stock standard body and a Warmoth 12 string neck, Gotoh Kluson style tuners and a the Standard bridge plate modified using the saddles from the Gotoh 12 string bridge.<br><br> Regards, Cugel <br />Here is my finished lefty guiter, assembled by yours truly.<br><br> Body is lightweight one-piece swamp ash and the top is rosewood. The neck is a birdseye maple with a 59 roundback contour. The ash is finished in transparent yellow and the whole of the body is in clear satin. The neck is also finished in clear satin. All of the hardware is from Callaham. The bridge PUP is a Lollar Vintage and the neck PAF clone is from High Order. This is the lightest guitar I have owned and it twangs for days thanks to the hi-grade bridge and the lollar. HOs PAF is a force to be reckoned with. The stuff he winds can hang with the big boys. Jeff is a good guy and I recommend his work highly. Everyone who sees my Warmoth loves it and I was unable to find a flaw in the finish or the woodwork. Great sounding and great playing guitar and I am already planning another.<br><br> Thanks a million Beau Phillips<br />I just finished building my guitar and I thought you might like it for your Tele gallery. Here's the specs:<br><br> Warmoth standard thin birdseye maple neck<br> Vintage cream pearloid hybrid pickguard<br> Lindy Fralin Broadcaster pickups<br> Alder body/Quilted maple top<br> Neck and body in Nitro<br> All Warmoth electronics<br> Gotoh vintage tuners<br> 3 saddle bridge with compensated saddles<br> Fender 4-way switching<br><br> Vintage specs with modern looks, I love it! Thanks! Tony Macias<br />Hello, my name is Tony Macias, andIrecently finished a WarmothIhad been working on for some time. It is Swamp Ash/Birdseye/Birdseye construction with abalone face dots on the fingerboard.Ifinished the guitar myself, using wood stain and Tung oil. It has a set of Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro single-coil pickups, and a B/W/B pickguard. All the hardware was purchased from Warmoth, and I am very pleased with the end result. Thank you. Ken Hayward<br />I used a Warmoth Thin line body (No F-Hole) creme binding. It's got a Replacemnent neck with a '52 contour. P/Ups are Fender Texas Specials w/4 position toggle assembled by Acme Guitars. I'm just blown away on how it sounds (not plugged in). I feel that the woods Warmoth uses results in bodies that are superior in tonal quality. This is my second Warmoth and assembly took a few (3) hours. The only hang up is waiting for other components i.e. electronics from Acme ( I asked for some special wiring).<br><br> Thanks Guys Ryan Richter<br />So, here is the finished product:<br> Swamp Ash<br> Maple Neck/ Boat Neck<br> 6105 frets<br> Schaller Locking Tuners<br> String Through.<br><br> Good Times and I cant wait to get started in the next conquest. John Shaver<br />This is a beautiful ash Warmoth body with butterscotch blonde nitrocellulose finish and Warmoth pickguard. Everything except the pots and switch and some screws was bought on Ebay:<br><br> Neck, Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups, Bigsby and conversion kit, tuners, knobs and hardware.<br><br> It was a great project from concept to getting parts to seeing it all come together in this awesome guitar!!!!!!! Tom Lang<br />I took a picture of my guitar built with a Warmoth neck and body.<br><br> Thanks and the guitar sounds absolutely awesome! Milwaukee, WI Rick Wilson<br />This is my third Warmoth project, and you can see my two guitars in the the gallery. I think I nailed it this time, after 30+ years of shooting for the perfect set-up. Even though my guitar is perfect also, I prefer the sound. Dr. Z amp, Lindy Fralin stock vintage pick-ups (neck PU is slightly overwound to 8,200 turns), and my new Warmoth guitar is it for me. I play Blues, Country, Classic Rock, R&B, Gospel, and even some jazz?and this set-up does it all perfectly. It is a hollow Black Korina body, with tummy/elbow cuts, that I ordered unfinished from the showcase. So far, it has 5 coats of hand rubbed tung oil, and I may do a few more later. The neck is Warmoth pro construction, wood is unfinished Wenge, fatback, with ebony fret board.<br><br> The neck is so incredibly perfect in every detail, I cannot get over it. I had to order it, and it is like a work of art all by itself. My first gig, everybody in the band was floored by the tones, and even the way it made me play. They all said afterwards, that they have never heard me play like that. I just smiled and knew I owed most of the credit to Warmoth, Lindy Fralin, and Dr. Z.<br><br> Thank you Warmoth!
