New Warmoth Strat

I decided to try my hand at a custom assembly. The body and neck came off the showcase, and then I selected hardware. The body is alder with a wild maple top finished with a cherry burst. The neck is quartersawn maple with an ebony fingerboard and jumbo gold frets. The pups are Seymour Cool Rails, Vintage Rails, and Hot Rails, neck to bridge. I used RS guitarworks pots and caps, and a Planet Waves output jack. The tuners are Schaller locking minis, and of course it has an OFR. I had to search e-bay to find the hex-key mount for the back of the headstock.






The tone and playability rival my Jackson USA SL2H, except that I can get more different tones out of this axe.

I hope you like it as much as I do!

Re: New Warmoth Strat

That is so beautiful!!! I've always loved those super Strats with quilted maple tops and gold Floyds and I used to have a couple super Strats, well nowadays I only play my LP and 60's vintage reissue Strats. Damm now I really want one of those!

Re: New Warmoth Strat

Nice. Warmoth makes awesome stuff. I have built 2 Soloist styles in the past. They were nice guitars.

Re: New Warmoth Strat

Well I got to say that by looking at your Warmoth guitars you've made that one is also my favorite. Just gorgeous to look at and I bet it sounds just as good as it looks!

By the way, are those Dimarzio pickups?

Thanks.

They are DiMarzios. Tone Zone in the bridge, and a 35th Anniversary PAF in the neck, although I just swapped out the 35th for a Breed neck.

DocNrock:

I read in one thread about Marshall DSL 201 that you own one of those amps but not playing much. If you are willing to sell it, I would be interested. You can email me directly at dskimsf@gmail.com. Where are you located?

Re: New Warmoth Strat

My #1 Strat is a Warmoth! Since I put it together, I've purged all other Strats except a 57 AVRI. Mine isn't as complex as yours - Sonic blue nitro with SRV profile/braz board neck, Callaham & Fralins.

Pound for pound, in terms of tone, fit/finish, and playability, it rivals even a CS Strat I had.
