So I spent about 2 hours last night exploring this site. Yes, I've visited the site before, but only to look for something specific. Last night I was just exploring to see what all they have in stock and what they can do on the custom level. I have to say, after reviewing the site, I will find it hard to buy a fully assembled guitar ever again.

Between being able to pick not only the type of body wood but how many pieces the body is made from. Custom contours, custom finishes, custom routed holes/cavities. I tell ya, This place has so many options there is little left for a home guitar builder to do other than just bolt the pieces together.

The custom order forms arent the most user friendly, especially the body order form. Pricing is a bit confusing on both neck and body as you must enter the base values of each, and then total all extra bits for a grand sum. I'm certain this can be bypassed with a simple phone call though.

For those of you who have never visited the site. I advise you do so...Yes, do it NOW! For those, like me, who have visited the site before but only for quick glances at a certain product. Go back and give the place a good looking over. Yes...NOW! And to Brad and Fender, if my posting this violates some forum rule or regulation... My apologies. 8)

I've been on thier site several times and have to say if you are looking to build your own guitar this is where it's at.

I love that site. I've already bought two necks from them and I'll be getting a third shortly. No complaints at all!

I have to admit, I've been looking at eventually building a Firebird-type guitar from Warmoth. I was also looking at replacement pickups for a partscaster, but I'll probably go with GFS instead for that one, since the pickups are a little cheaper there, and supposedly quite good.

I built my "dream guitar" using Warmoth in 2007. I could not be happier. Great experience. I have heard the prices have gone up a bit recently but I'm sure it is still worth it. My next guitar is going to be a Warmoth Telecaster with P-rails monster when I get the $$$.

I ordered a 2pc. Alder Strat body last month and the wood is beautiful. It's almost a sin to cover it with paint. Everything lined up good and fits great with my USA CG neck.

They have a new Web Site I like it better then the other but it still could use some tweaking.
