Warmoth Q

Re: Warmoth Q

A cool idea is to get a Mexican Strat and gradually replace parts. When you are done, you have your stock Mexican Strat, as well! It is a good way to have a guitar while you acquire the right parts.
 
Re: Warmoth Q

With Warmoth, you have options that just aren't available from any manufacturer unless you find some small outfit that will spec out specialty things for you. You end up with the guitar you want, not just the closest thing in the catalog. My recent JM has a roasted swamp ash body with a killer finish, P-rails pickups, a Bigsby Am. Std. hardtail bridge with stainless saddles, a Bigsby B5, custom electronics and a flipped Strat jack plate. The neck is roasted maple with a Tele headstock and staggered locking tuners. I put it together myself then had a really good pro set up the action on it. It's exactly what I want and it plays like butter. $5000 from Fender won't get one even remotely like it and I only spent about what I would on a new Fender.

Seriously - buy one of the better Squier bodies, add a baritone conversion neck, and add strings.

Voila!

This is actually one of the best ideas presented. You can change pickups and other things at your own time if you even want to that. Do get a professional setup, though.

I did that, although not with a baritone conversion neck and it worked out great. I have been toying with the conversion neck idea still.
