I'm on my 4th Warmoth build, and I'll never buy another production line guitar ever again.
I like hearing this right now, I’m in the process of building my first and am hoping it comes out great!
Thats a beauty. I love the warhead headstock on the soloist body.
Thx, me too!
Faux binding is called Masked Accent line, or natural masked binding. Looks good with figured tops. Yours looks great.
Thanks!
I hate to tell to you this but… Locking tuners do not do the same thing a locking nut does and it will never stay in tune as well. You can get it working pretty well but don’t expect it to be the same. I have a majesty with a similar setup, floating bridge and sperzel locking tuners. I try to get about one full rotation of the string around the tuning peg. Not enough and you can slowly rotate the peg back and too many just increases the string length too much which means more string stretch. Stretch the hell out of the strings to compensate. Tune the strings high a bit, just to make sure all slack has been taken up before final pitch. Put pencil lead in the nut slots, if you haven’t. Anyway, the longer string lengths and going over the nut just doesn’t work as well as my floyds or ibanez edge setups. The guitar looks amazing. Cheers.
That one beautiful axe!!! I really love the Warhead headstock too! I wish they offered abalone blocks. One day… 🎸
Beautiful guitar! Loved hearing about what inspired you to chose those particular specs.
Thanks!
Beautiful guitar...Stainless frets do last way longer than standard and I got them on my last Warmoth neck...there are conflicting opinions on the next two topics but I'll give you my honest opinion:
they do add a subtle bit of high end upon attack which was actually a positive since the body I put it on was a bit on the warm side...what I don't like about them is that they feel 'harder' to me compared to standard frets which have a softer feel when the strings are bouncing off of them..this may sound odd but I definitely feel a difference..it certainly wasn't a deal breaker but I wouldn't get them again
How is the upper fret access on this?
Do you stay in tune using no lock system?
Nice guitar! What type of Floyd rose does it have? And where was it made?
At guitar center/Sam Ash you can get a little tube of nut sauce put some in the nut (under the strings) put some around the sides after returning the strings use your tuners work it all in by going sharp then flat do that kite a few times so it's all worked in, in case of any excess wipe off with a Q tips. That should definitely help a lot. Coolio.have fun that's a really nice looking guitar...... 🤘
As I am planning a Warmoth build so this post was golden, thank you! However, many of the things I have worried about were also verified by you 🙀
Ah yep. Not perfect, but still pretty great!
I'm glad to hear that roasted maple is a decent neck wood.
I was wanting Padouk but it wasn't compatible with an off menu veneer I was having placed on the headstock, So I swapped to roasted maple.
Yup roasted maple is pretty much the standard these days. Very rigid too
Amazing looking guitar! If I may ask, how much would one run for just like yours?
Thx! This was around $2K
Great looking guitar! I’m looking into building one myself. I gotta ask though, what’s the advantage of having a Floyd without the Floyd locking nut?
Thanks! No loss of tone from locking nut, easier tuning and string changes. Also just wanted to try it
Fantastic build! I am looking to do one myself. Oh! And is that music from Persona?
Don't they just make the fingerboard longer for 24 frets? It seems like a short cut
How is the 24 fret access? Did you get the contoured heel, and if so do you think that helps?
I did get it, but the access is definitely not great. Not much they can do about it with Strat accommodating neck pockets afaik
@@rorycosgrove makes sense, even the V-K gets chunky where the 24th fret ends up being. Too bad they don’t offer the newer Fender Deluxe style cutaway heel. It wouldn’t work with the non-tilt back modern, but all other necks would work and at least it’s something better.
@@PFDarkside that would be nice yea. Any fret access improvement would be a big pull for me to do another build
Do you have any videos playing the guitar?
Most of my review videos have some playing samples, also you can find a kpop cover I did on this channel
A 24 fret soloist? Is that a ⅞ model or are 24 fret solists somthing they do that i didnt know about! I have an S-style holoflake build coming...lol its been 11 weeks exactly.
It’s a normal sized 24-fret Soloist 🤘🏻
@@rorycosgrove nice. That ⅞ S-style holoflake finally finished. The quality is superd and it plays as good a guitar can imo...I do believe some of the magic was from my luthier, Ian Anderson(lol not the JethroTull frontman). He builds/built the late great Walter Becker of Steely Dan and David Bryson's(Counting Crows) favorite guitars. He put 12 hours into it and he used the best electronics...and big Russian military grade paper-in-oil capacitors. He also convinced me to with Birchwood tru-oil on the roasted flamed maple...it definitely seems like a "secret weapon" of sorts on the unofficial warmoth site. Lots use it, but only note it in their build lists...
Lol im definitely team Warmoth now. I had a 2017 gibson faded les paul to sell/trade. I traded it for a warmoth strat with an mim fender body... it has a standard strat headstock, 3a birdeye/standard-C neck, pretty sure its a 43mm nut(which gives you amazing playability towards the top you can't get without it!) rosewood fretboard, Hipshot locking-tuners(closed and staggered), 22 med-jum SS frets, Dave Murray's loaded SD pickgaurd(3 mini-bucks, 2 hot rails flanking a mini JB), floyd rose "rail-tale"(cool replacement for 6-point bridge), axlabs tone claw(actually does help with sustainability) the body/pickgaurd/hardware/tuners are black. Its pretty darn minty too. I usually like shreddy/modern asthetic guitars, but I wanted something that felt as much like my 1st guitar as possible(2001 mim fat strat). This one really brings it on home. Im so happy i didn't end up getting a usa fender. It has the exact stratty-sweetness i was after...lol sry about the rant.
@@kiezersosay49 nice, glad you’re satisfied!
Do you stay in tune using no lock system?
