Re: Who's done Warmoth?
I've only had two very minor issues with any of my Warmoths (that were Warmoth's fault). The first was a bit too much overspray in the control cavities. I had to smooth the inside with some sandpaper and rough routing to make the 5-way switch fit in the VIP shown below (5 minutes work). Otherwise, the switch wasn't coming in contact with the top and the screws couldn't reach. I believe it was also the VIP that had a small, very tiny, lip of finish that extended over the neck pocket. It's not that there was any finish in the neck pocket, but rather that the finish extended *just* over the top of the neck pocket just a tiny hair (imagine it extending like a countertop). This tiny bit of finish was just enough to ensure that I couldn't get the neck into the pocket. Again, 5 minutes of sanding fixed that.
The only major problem I had was that 2 of the Schaller locking tuners for my strat came with the chrome flaked off. I sent those back and got some replacements within a week.
Here's my VIP. Honey burst top, with a red back. The neck is mahogany Gibson scale and has a clear satin coat. The peghead has a maple veneer with a sunburst to match the body.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with it, and plan to make 2 more Warmoths to add to my collection of 3:
