Got on warmoth to play around with some ideas for the body of my guitar. Just the body after I picked out my wood, routs, controls, binding, finish, etc etc.....was $877.00
 
Something like this

By the time you get the neck, hardware and electronics installed, you'll be looking at close to $2k. Yikes. It does look pretty, though
 
Yeah...well...they charge a premium. Being #1 in parts means you get to charge #1 on price.

Check out the showcase. And don't be so picky. :tongue:

At least it looks pretty, I could down grade it a but and get that finish. It's chambered and a few other things
 
Just remember that just 'cause parts will screw together, that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll end up with a killer instrument. Fender pusher has a warmoth that is basically unplayable because the neck won't settle in.
 
Go on the Porsche website, pick a model and then choose every available option. Compare the base price with the price as you configured...... same basic thing

I grabbed a neck and body out of the showcase & I have about 750 into it total. Finishing it yourself save a bundle 2

That's scary, man. I really wanted to get the pieces and assemble it myself. That's kinda got me second guessing it.

People have similar problems with production guitars. Has that made you second guess buying those?

Can't say that it has....

I get there is a return issue and a resale consideration w/r/t warmouth builds but from my experience and the others I've played, I don't think the risk of 'bad parts' is a real big concern.

If there's anything to really second guess, it's resale.
 
I'm not trying to discourage you, just making you aware that its not a jigsaw puzzle.

I don't know what happened with fenderpushers neck but I don't think that warmoth was interested in swapping the neck out.
 
The prices for Warmoth weren't bad back in the '80s

You could get a pretty nice Fender/Jackson/ESP/Charvel/Carvin/McFeely/Ibanez/etc. for the amount you'd put into a Warmoth build today, and you wouldn't have to put it together :wink:

IIRC, there's no finish on the neck. they don't warranty those.
