Warmoth builds/reviews?

[bigdaddyd]

I have a few and Warmoth stuff is really good. People mention necks needing fret work and Warmoth even state on their site that they probably will need fret work because they can't take into account the final guitar when they are just building the neck and it needs to be done at final setup. It is true. Tom Anderson doesn't build separate necks anymore for this reason. Well he doesn't usually build them for this reason.

He will on occasion if he knows the guitar he is building for and you send him all of the parts back so that he can fit the neck to the body and do all of the work on the final guitar together. He did this for me and did tremendous work and it cost quite a bit more. If you are buying a neck from Warmoth, you will get a super quality neck, which may or may not need some additional fret work. I have never had any additional work done on mine, but would understand if they needed it since it states it right on their website ...and it makes sense.

Nice to hear man...buddy of mine is in charge of setups for the PRS PS guitars...and he's offered to set it up for me. Nice to hear it won't be that much work.

Just to be clear, Tom built me a replacement Anderson neck for an old Tom Anderson guitar that he remembered building. My point was that he wanted all the parts back so that he could build it and fit it to the guitar and do all final finish work on the guitar when it was complete. He wanted it to leave as a completed guitar that he had control over because he would have no way to finish the neck to his specs without everything there. Warmoth can't be expected to have "perfect" fretwork on necks that aren't even on guitars yet. That gets done later.

These four Warmoths are mine. All finishes and fret work were done by Warmoth, I assembled them. I can't say enough great things about Warmoth. I'm planning to build number five next year if that tells you anything.

Tru-oil finish, wenge neck with pao board.

Body is thicker than most guitars, is my only complaint.

DbU....DAMN man; I tripped on the quilted blue Tele and the see thru flame job. I think that guitar is actually on their site as an example of the paintwork they do; I was drooling over it last night. And you're doing #5?! Can't wait to see it.

Cap, that is definitely a cool ass guitar. Might have to change from the Tele idea. That one really grabbed me.

Nice to see so many of the RT nation endorsing these; you cats are some of the most knowledgable on the net. I feel a lot better knowing so many of you guys have these and love em. MORE RESEARCH!

They actually did a write up on my guitar for their "Warmoth Today" column on their site.
