Members madubuisson Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 I finished my first Warmoth build this summer. She's heavy, around 9.7 lbs, since the Warmoth SG is thicker than a Gibson. Body and neck are mahogany, neck just has a clear gloss finish. The paint is "Blue Ice" (as close as I could get to Pelham Blue without painting it myself). The pickups are from JS Moore at Tone for Days. This thing has the sweetest clean tones. The switch is wired to the neck and bridge, and then the middle is wired "always on" so that I can control it with the volume knob. Master tone knob.I'm still working on a tracing to get a custom half-face pickguard made for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave it as is... no pickguard... buck nekkid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 When I look at the Warmoth Gallery on their site, I see a lot of really ugly, poorly conceived guitars with horrendous finishes and hardware choices. But...the guitars here are, for the most part, really beautiful and very good in terms of design and hardware. OK, so let me lower the bar about 7 notches:-{)>(Front row right) my tele with a figured swamp ash body and Brazilian board along with a set of Lollar Vintage T's and some high end {censored} that costs more than it's worth; (Front row left) I call it a La Cab Bonita. Alder body, Powertron Plus, CTS pots, Jensen cap, other garbage that, again, probably makes no difference in tone but it gives me something to talk about.

Yes, it is as good as it looks. I originally hooked up the pickups without any tone cap, but they were a little too bright, so I put a tone cap in and a treble bypass on the volume pot. Now it's just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted July 4, 2012 Members Share Posted July 4, 2012 ^^^Gorgeous builds! Warmoth rules. The only downside is that if you decide to sell, you'll never get your initial investment back. But who cares? Brazilian rosewood board on the tele.
