    Hi all from thekiwidisciple

    Thanks for the welcomes, guys. Of course pics will be provided - what thread is of any use without pics? :P

    Warmoth Telecaster Project

    That guitar looks very nice, however I don't want to make it that dark. In fact I don't really want to go much darker than the guitar I showed above. I'll definitely do some reading up, and I'm sure I'll just end up finishing the neck myself, rather than paying them $75USD just to 'dip the neck...

    Keystone Pickups

    Hi all, As I've mentioned in other threads, I'm having a tele-strat built -- a tele body with strat pups and strat trem. As I'm only 16, work full-time for my parents' company and am already spending a lot of money on the guitar itself, how do you all think Keystones would go in it? I love...

    Warmoth Telecaster Project

    As far as I am aware, oiling the neck (with reasonable oils) does not invalidate the warranty. Having said that, I could be wrong. They do, however, charge $75 USD to do the cheapest one (satin oil), it would cost nowhere near this to do it myself. Plus, my uncle is quite experienced in...

    I've heard of those oils - how did the tung oil go on the body? I've been trying to decide whether just to pay Warmoth to do a Satin finish on the neck they're making for me. Will transit to Australia be long enough for any warping to start? Or should I just put an oil on it myself - again, I...

    Hi all from thekiwidisciple

    Howdy, My name is Ben, I'm a kiwi living in Melbourne. I play a tele and a strat, but there's something missing from both, so I've come up with (hopefully) the perfect solution...merge them together! I'll make a new post after I've finished the design and ordered the parts for the guitar, but...

    Warmoth Telecaster Project

    Yep, I want a satin finish, and I want to steer as far away as possible from a 'shine', but at the same time I don't want to skimp on a proper seal. Thanks for the help. I'll definitely keep everyone posted. The guitar and design is for my Nana, who passed away in April '05. She's the only...

    Warmoth Telecaster Project

    Hi all, Tomorrow, following a quote, I'm going to be ordering a neck and custom body from Warmoth. Here are the specifications I've given to Spike at Warmoth: Body: Unfinished Tele Body (Swamp Ash) Tummy & Forearm Cuts Stratocaster Bridge Routing Strat Pickup Routing Neck: Total Vintage...
