Warmoth Custom Parts Site
Just been put on to this site by a mate:
http://www.warmoth.com/
I know about Warmoth parts, but what has caught my attention is the 'body builder' and 'neck builder', not to mention the 'pickguard builder'. You can basically get anything you
could dream up, finishes, wood types, different kinds of top caps, neck shapes, fret sizes, inlays, fretboard radius', have unusual contol configurations routed into whatever body you choose, etc etc etc. It all looks rather awesome, and apparently it works out fairly cheap to get all the parts you need to build the guitar of your dreams. Some assembly required.
It's a rather cool site I must say.

Yeah, it's just a shame you can't see the whole guitar, you know? But it would be cool to do.Aquila Rosso wrote:I have built many virtual guitars on that site.

Re: Warmoth Custom Parts Site

Comments tend to be that they're spendy, compared to say what Crushing Day can supply.

That has to be the most boring video I've seen in a long time though I never found out what the problem was, I gave up before then.Timoes wrote:Been looking at Warmoth too. Untill I saw what this guy had to say. http://www.youtube.com/user/tonymckenzi ... mNerhTLaro

Re: Warmoth Custom Parts Site
The video was too long for me to watch, but I've read his other gear reviews, and he seems to have too much money but no idea about gear. But he thinks he does, and thus comes off as a tool.Timoes wrote:Been looking at Warmoth too. Untill I saw what this guy had to say. http://www.youtube.com/user/tonymckenzi ... mNerhTLaro
Assembled his guitar from a heap of other parts and calls it "from his custom shop"? Come on.
This must certainly be true for basic bodies but to their credit Warmoth DO offer a buttload of options. Shapes, wood combinations, routing, finishing, etc.Terexgeek wrote:Comments tend to be that they're spendy, compared to say what Crushing Day can supply.

Re: Warmoth Custom Parts Site
I looked a Warmoth for the Korinacaster's neck. In basic form, they were about 20% more expensive than Crushing Day and I was just building a working guitar. Warmoth would have been the place to go if I'd wanted a neck made from highly figured unobtanium, with a compound radius and weird custom profile.Terexgeek wrote:Comments tend to be that they're spendy, compared to say what Crushing Day can supply.
All I needed was a fat stick showing a bit of flame and Crushing Day delivered magnificently.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Warmoth Custom Parts Site
I got a warmoth neck and it's loverly, but I wanted a short scale maple fb with a large strat headstock.. since I didn't (still don't) know shyte from shyte about shyte I ended up with one that is too wide (as in the distance between the E strings .. is that the radius? width? buggered if I know) for me.. would rather it be narrower, and baseball bat fat given the option... but all in all I thought the price was fair for what I wanted.

Re: Warmoth Custom Parts Site
The main issue was that it was meant to come with a battery compartment but didn't, and he didn't think their backup service was much chop. Also he seemed pretty shocked at the bill, which is wierd given that the body builder gives you prices as you go and you can see how much each change costs as you do it, so there wouldn't have been any suprises I would have thought.
