I'm looking at building a thinline tele with P-90s from Warmoth parts, and your vid just convinced me to go for it. I bet it's rewarding to play a guitar you had so much involvement in putting together! Nice work dude.
Hi man! I wrote you a while back about this video, maybe you still remember. as an older, more experienced guitar player, maybe you could listen to some of my songs on my channel and give me a opinion. They´re all instrumentals too ahah! it would be great, thanks man!
Not sure if you already answer this question (I'm just too lazy to read all the comments and I didn't find this on your description) the finish on the body is FireBurst? Congratulations, you build an amazing guitar.
awesome guitar dude! it's my dream to be able to build my own guitar. great playing too.
1 question i wanted to do an HSS setup with a Warmoth Jag-Stang, would i have to alter the design of the body in any way for that to work? i know I'll have to make a space in the pickguard for the single coil but idk bout the body.
@evanisgay11 I composed everything except that acoustic guitar + leads on electric guitar song that is played during the drilling part of the video, that one is by Ennio Morricone, but the rest is written by me
Would you recommend that dimarzio virtual solo for the bridge? I want to custom my strat. I like to play hard rock, a little metal, and a lot of UFO. Please let me know,
@MitchRulzWorld I like it, however, if I'd have to chose some pickups now, I'd go for some Dimarzio Injectors (Paul Gilbert's signature pickups, he also plays hard rock a little metal and has played UFO covers, so they'd be a perfect fit)
@guitarDouchebaggery Dude, thank you so much for the reply. It's funny, I was looking into the injector. I think I'll get it now. Also, I'd like to keep that nice strat sound when I combine the neck and middle pu's, like for the song little wing or lenny. Do you think the dimarzio area 67 would work for that? Thanks man.
great video, amazing guitar! I´m thinking about building one myself! Well, I love the idea of that custom switch! (the one that activates the bridge pickup at full volume). Is it very hard to install? What do you have to do? thank you.
@tweenboxyeah it's not that complicated to install, but it's complicated to explain it in just text. Just search for "guitar blower switch" in google, or google image (often it's referred as the "suhr blower switch")
@guitarDouchebaggery That's amazing! How do the Warmoth parts feel, for example, compared to a real Fender Strat? What kind of price range did you give yourself for the main body and neck (and the whole thing) if it's not too personal!? Are you able to get bodies pre-painted? And finally, did you have to do a lot of neck adjusting, or was it just bolt on and go go go? Thanks a lot, great stuff!
@TheCharliePearce I have a MIJ fender tele and both feel great and are really solid guitars. In total the guitar was around 1400EUR (but this is with added 21% import fees, when importing it to europe).
All the parts that I bought are from the "showcase" section of the online shop, so these where all already finished etc.
Neck pocket is great. It worked instantly (but I don't know if it's always trouble free)
@heyfuckyou1997 one is a killswitch (it mutes the guitar, so you can make a stuttering effect when pressing it fast), the other one activates the bridge pickup at full tone and volume (so on a overdriven one channel amp you can have a clean sound, e.g. neck pickup + low volume and then quickly switch between full on bridge and the clean setting)
there is also a push pull tone knob that activates bridge and neck like on a tele (middle position)
@HavocBillz one is a killswitch (it mutes the guitar, so you can make a stuttering effect when pressing it fast), the other one activates the bridge pickup at full tone and volume (so on a overdriven one channel amp you can have a clean sound, e.g. neck pickup + low volume and then quickly switch between full on bridge and the clean setting)
Great vid. I'll be building a Telecaster using a Warmoth body. I aquired a tele neck some time ago and it's time to put it back to work! I like the fact that almost any configuration you can dream of is available through Warmoth.
Hey nice vid man, and some killer guitar skills to boot! Just wondering do you have to have the warmoth logo thing on the headstock? I'm hopefully buying a fretless bass neck very soon ^^
@Samickboom yes, I have a logo on it (the gold one, which can be ordered extra). When you order a neck you get a sticker with the black logo with it, you can decide if you put the logo on it or not
i was just wondering, do you get the pickups you choose the routing for or do they just do the routing hole? like if you would have to buy the pickups afterhand would suck haha.
@guitarDouchebaggery holy mother of asshole, haha im thinkin i might get away with tops about 400-600 euro, hahahaha no way jose that im buying from them until im famous or something, wich means i'll never buy from there :( i really wanted a explorer bass with a musicman pickup haha
@bonzzo15 damn, i thought u got the pickups and the bridge WITH the bassbody, well that sucked ass, i thought i could get away with like 2000 swedish kronor(like 300 dollars) for the body and the pickups..
My favorite part is that it's a struggle to get the neck in and out of the joint w/ the body. One of THE most important and most overlooked aspects to good guitar tone is a tight neck joint. Kudos:)
@DavidFUBB well, I never played a Fender Custom Shop guitar. However, AFAIK back in the day, the Fender Custom Shop used Warmoth parts.
However, an experienced luthier could select pieces of wood which would work together well. When ordering parts that might not be the case.. or at least it wont be the absolute optimum ;)
@DavidFUBB Custom shop is a bunch of shit. Fender r a company and all companies have to make money. Custom shop guitars r just another good way of making money. U r best to learn a bit of knowledge of what sounds u like then study up on different types of woods n such. For example i like metal, so i prefer mahogany bodies, maple necks and ebony fingerboards. The mahogany gives a warmer tone and the neck/fingerboard gives it a more cutting sound to get thru all that distortion. Research a little.
oh man awesome job. it looks and sound amazing. you have some skills too. i like that riff you played @7:10. question: so warmoth bodies dont come pre-drilled for pickup screws or strap holes? i'm thinking of making a warmoth guitar with all the features of a strat (pickups, volume/tone knobs, selector, trem...etc. but with a tele shape body. another question, what kind of tremolo system is that? and thank you again for posting this.
yes, the body comes without any pre-drilled holes for the strap locks and pickguard. But it does come with the neck pocket holes already drilled and the pickup cavities etc.
The necks come with the holes for the neck screws and the selected tuners.
The tremolo is a Gotoh EV510T-FE (there's also a link where you could get those, or at least used to get in the description)
cool video, you should see my guitar, i actually took the single coils apart and totally rebuilt them as stacked humbuckers that fit the original covers, you couldnt even tell they are not singlecoils by looking at the guitar, but they are, LOUD and have perfect tone with no 50hz hum!
@guitarDouchebaggery also ich hab jetzt mittlerweile herausgefunden das nach deutschland ca. 25% dazurechnen muss. noch ne andere frage : hast du den hals einfach so ein geschraubt ohne spezielles fixieren??
the switch beside the black button bypasses volume, tone and pickup selector and switches to full on bridge pickup (this is useful to change between any volume/pickup setting and full on bridge PU quickly, e.g. clean and distorted on a single channel amp)
push pull tone knob selects bride and neck pickup (like the middle position of a telecaster)
@96lolstar I bought mine from the "product showcase" part of the shop, so neck and body where already made when I ordered, so I don't know how long it usually takes
Warmoth sells individual parts and not sets, so you can get pickups or order them from anywhere else
@viechomat die Lieferung hat ca. 2 Wochen gedauert (wenn ich mich recht erinnere)
Ja, Zoll sowie Einfuhrabgaben etc. muss man bezahlen. Das ist dann ungefähr (bzw. ein bisschen mehr) als der Umsatzsteuer Prozentsatz. Am besten man rechnet mit ca. 20% extra
ich habe gelesen das warmoth hälse mit griffbrett extrem dick sind, und one-piece necks viel zu dünn. stimmt das? das wäre nämlich der faktor der mich vom kauf abhalten würde
from what I've heard it's recommended to have one pot that has all the grounds wired to it, but I'm not sure if that really makes any actual difference
but try to attach all grounds to the same pot (or almost all of them)
@guitarDouchebaggery Knowledge is power knowledge is money, I am sure afew people know how to do this, so this is your advantage, ebay can be the door to make a bussines, every thing is possible, and extra money always help.
Cool video man...I built a custom guitar myself out of parts from Warmoth as well and I was scared as hell drilling everything like you demonstrated here, but it all worked and it's the sweetest guitar in my collection....your wiring seemed pretty extensive...I loved that portion of my build since I'm an electronics tech anyway. Thanks for sharing.
Absolut Klasse Video! Habe mir mal deine anderen Videos auch angesehen, wirklich Top!
Mich würde mal interessieren wie zufrieden du mit den Pickups bist. Ich überlege momentan auch die Kombination in meine Strat einzubauen. Virtual Solo / 67 / 67. Wie findest du harmonieren Bridge und Neck z.B. bei einem Solo, Lautstärke und Sound technisch? Nutzt du 500k oder 250k Poti?
I'm looking at building a thinline tele with P-90s from Warmoth parts, and your vid just convinced me to go for it. I bet it's rewarding to play a guitar you had so much involvement in putting together! Nice work dude.

Excellent (and fast to see)!
Was the fretwork on this guitar ready to play without additional fret leveling?
I saw in other videos that some additional fret work for Warmoth necks is still necessary.

If you have locking tuners; you don't need string trees!

@doctorgone string trees are to get a sharper string angle at the nut (since the strat headstock isn't angled).
There are certain locking tuners available that get shorter towards the high E, with those you wouldn't "need" string trees.

What makes Warmoth so awesome is well...Everything.
Mainly that Steven Von Til(of Neurosis/Harvestman) has his two custom guitars he made out of Warmoth parts.
SpasmOfJoy 1 year ago
@SpasmOfJoy yes, I also heard that the Fender Custom shop used Warmoth parts once

Nice build. I personally never liked pic guards, at my volume levels it acts like a semi hollow body and feeds back something fierce.

What does your custom switching do?
OverratedReality 1 year ago
@OverratedReality various stuff:
the black button is a killswitch
the switch beside the black button bypasses volume, tone and pickup selector and switches to full on bridge pickup (this is useful to change between any volume/pickup setting and full on bridge PU quickly, e.g. clean and distorted on a single channel amp)
push pull tone knob selects bride and neck pickup (like the middle position of a telecaster)

Very nice videos! I am considering to build one myself. Did the neck come with the Warmoth decal?
Thanks for sharing
suaragitar 1 year ago
@suaragitar the neck comes with a special kind of sticker, with a black decal on it (I bought a sticker with a gold decal extra)
you can decide if you want to put the decal on or not

how much did the whole thing cost?
RedHotBen 1 year ago
@RedHotBen around 1400EUR, I had to pay import taxes and so on, otherwise it would be around 20% cheaper than that

Sorry, the tuners, bridge, neck plate, they are included when you got the guitar's wood parts?
96lolstar 1 year ago
@96lolstar what I meant was that you need to select everything by yourself, if you need a neck plate, then you buy one from the webstore and so on
when ordering the wood parts, you could ALSO order the tuners, neck plate, pickups, bridge etc.
but you don't have to, you can buy your pickups also from anywhere else
when buying a body & a neck, then you'll only get a body and a neck
guitarDouchebaggery 1 year ago
So do you mean pickups and electronic parts is not included?

So do you mean pickups is not included and electronic parts?
96lolstar 1 year ago
how long did you wait for the parts?
Are pickups included?
96lolstar 1 year ago
@96lolstar I bought mine from the "product showcase" part of the shop, so neck and body where already made when I ordered, so I don't know how long it usually takes
Warmoth sells individual parts and not sets, so you can get pickups or order them from anywhere else

Wie lang dauert denn ungefähr die Lieferung? Und noch viel wichtiger: Wie viel muss man zusätzlich für den Zoll bezahlen?
viechomat 1 year ago
@viechomat die Lieferung hat ca. 2 Wochen gedauert (wenn ich mich recht erinnere)
Ja, Zoll sowie Einfuhrabgaben etc. muss man bezahlen. Das ist dann ungefähr (bzw. ein bisschen mehr) als der Umsatzsteuer Prozentsatz. Am besten man rechnet mit ca. 20% extra

what finish is that?
marineman825 1 year ago
@marineman825 at Warmoth they call it a "fire burst"
guitarDouchebaggery 1 year ago
hey, ich hab mal ne frage:
ich habe gelesen das warmoth hälse mit griffbrett extrem dick sind, und one-piece necks viel zu dünn. stimmt das? das wäre nämlich der faktor der mich vom kauf abhalten würde
happyburial 1 year ago
@happyburial nein, man kann sich aussuchen welches "Neck Profile" man möchte
da gibt's auf der Warmoth Website, unter den "Neck Options" den Menüpunkt "Back Contours" dort steht dann dort wie dick der hals is etc.
Ob mit Griffbrett oder one-piece macht keinen unterschied

can i wire the ground right on top of the push and pull pot?
DUDI0215 1 year ago
@DUDI0215 yes you can
from what I've heard it's recommended to have one pot that has all the grounds wired to it, but I'm not sure if that really makes any actual difference
but try to attach all grounds to the same pot (or almost all of them)

hows the action? thinkin of buying a warmoth and its the only thing im worried about
nihility666 1 year ago
@nihility666 the action can be setup like on any other guitar
I made the string action on mine a bit higher than standard because of the floating tremolo
but it could be quite low without fret buzz

@asgarddrambo thanks
would be a nice idea, it would be definitely cheaper than buying from a fender custom shop
guitarDouchebaggery 1 year ago
@guitarDouchebaggery Knowledge is power knowledge is money, I am sure afew people know how to do this, so this is your advantage, ebay can be the door to make a bussines, every thing is possible, and extra money always help.
asgarddrambo 1 year ago
Cool video man...I built a custom guitar myself out of parts from Warmoth as well and I was scared as hell drilling everything like you demonstrated here, but it all worked and it's the sweetest guitar in my collection....your wiring seemed pretty extensive...I loved that portion of my build since I'm an electronics tech anyway. Thanks for sharing.

@softail1977 cool, the same here. I was really thinking twice before drilling, thank god nothing went wrong ;-)

Absolut Klasse Video! Habe mir mal deine anderen Videos auch angesehen, wirklich Top!
Mich würde mal interessieren wie zufrieden du mit den Pickups bist. Ich überlege momentan auch die Kombination in meine Strat einzubauen. Virtual Solo / 67 / 67. Wie findest du harmonieren Bridge und Neck z.B. bei einem Solo, Lautstärke und Sound technisch? Nutzt du 500k oder 250k Poti?
