Just remembered I had this handy, here's a Warmoth in action, for your amusement/ridicule:

Guitar necks are some weird shit. They all feel different, even the ones that are supposed to be the same profile and made of the same materials. I don't disagree BUT all of my warmoth necks are the same specs: profile, nut width, radius, and honestly I don't think I could tell the difference blind...

I would absolutely fuck up the build in some annoying way. No you wouldn't, you're not building the thing from scratch, it's all just drilling holes and screwing stuff together. A little soldering. As I said earlier, none of it is hard, you just have to be patient and pay attention. Even if you do ...

Am I the only one that thinks it's cool that RR told Jimmy Page 'Thanks, but no thanks'? Like anything good would have come of that. Whether or not it resulted in a record anyone would like isn't the point. Rich Robinson, a man whose best song is "Remedy", didn't think he could learn anyt...

The critical steps in guitar finishing that are “let dry for X weeks” are what would kill me. I’d either rush it or abandon the project entirely Been there done that! It’s kind of amazing how much easier it is when you procrastinate. Yeah I finish all of mine with tru-oil, supposed to give it a mon...

sometimes it was a drag, when they used bad parts or squandered an unreasonable amount on an objectively dumb idea. I'd be interested to hear about some of the dumb ideas. I've def seen some builds where I think "you spent all that time and money on THAT?" The fancy top haters here probab...

Yeah strats can either look totally, completely boring or be things of perfect aesthetic beauty. If I had money to burn I'd have a trio of matching strats in Shell Pink, Seafoam Green and (my favorite) Sonic Blue. Rosewood fretboards, white pickguards and plastics on all of 'em. Just so I could look...

Here you go.

Yeah that looks great. matttkkk you painted that yourself? Looks totally pro, how much work/PITA was it?

I'd love to hear any tips from others about assembling your own guitar. Just take your time, be patient. None of this is difficult. Drill the holes for the strap buttons before you put the neck on. Wax all the screws before you put them in for the first time. I like the Hipshot locking tuners becau...
