Warmoth Guitar Build Update // Roasted Flame Maple Neck
Переглядів 9 тис.5 років тому
In this video I give an update on the Warmoth guitar that I had previously built. I go over the roasted flame maple neck, hipshot tuners and bridge, and seymour duncan pickups. [EDIT] -I mistakenly thought the body had a Nitro finish, but just found out Warmoth uses poly finishes on their bodies. They offer Nitro on their necks.- Link to video of me building the guitar: ua-cam.com/video/_W5vGL6...

DIY Fiskars Axe Tek-Lok Belt Clip. In this video I demonstrate how to install a Tek-Lok belt clip onto a Fiskars axe head cover.
I despair seeing al those zombies standing there with their phones. Still looked like a great show though.
I agree. I'm not normally one to film during a concert because I want to be present during the concert experience. But, when Matt said that they were about to play Stockholm Syndrome I just immediately grabbed my phone and started filming, lol. I didn't expect them to play that one and something inside of me propelled me to capture it on video. They closed out the night with Knights of Cydonia and it was a killer performance. I wish I had filmed it as well, but I was too caught up in the show. It was an awesome show, glad I got to see them again and in my favorite city at that.
Yaaaas!!!!!!
The show was incredible last night!
Yes, it was great!
Best song we got las night
Knights of Cydonia was awesome too. Top two songs for me last night. I didn’t film KoC though.
@@bentoncox This was my #1 want going into the night. I got to see them at the wiltern, and they played everything except this! Now the only songs im missing from this era are new born, resistance):( i really wanted resistance), and bliss! Verona was so beautiful too! cant wait to see them again
Good job!
Thanks!
a better solution would be to just take the feet off lol
Is that hipshot bridge vintage spaced or modern spaced?
The hipshot bridge is vintaged spaced (.446) to match with warmoth's "vintage strat flat mount" routing for the body.
@@bentoncoxSweet. Would you mind providing a link to one? I have a tele deluxe on the way and have been trying to another option other than the bent saddles.
@@alwaysevolving281 I ordered directly from their website. Here is the link to the one I ordered. hipshotproducts.com/collections/guitar-bridges/products/6-string-hardtail-guitar-bridge?variant=35271411272
The feet are just stuck on. You can remove and replace later if needed. Won't affect value of pedal.
I understand shunting the pedals off the board, too bad their wasn’t a trash can at the end there as well.
You, sir, have great taste in guitars. I own a Friedman Vintage T and love it so much that I want to make a Warmoth clone. This video is awesome and answered a ton of questions I had. Thanks for posting! 👍👍👍
Thank you kindly!
Great video, very informative. I want to build a Tele deluxe but I was not sure what parts I needed. Also good thinking about using Ethernet cables. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! Good luck on your build!
Awesome build dude. I'm currently making my custom baked maple neck with SS frets, did you have to do a fret level of any kind?
I didn't, and I don't plan to. I've had a couple of guitar buddies play it and they've never mentioned anything about the frets and they've really enjoyed playing it. I know there are a lot of people online who claim that a fret level is necessary, but I personally have not found that to be the case. I have even played other friend's warmoths and they never leveled their frets and those guitars played very well. Maybe a fret level will make it play even more better lol. But, I personally haven't found it necessary.
I like to rub a few thin coats of tru oil. It will make that great wood grain pop too.
Great idea
Great build. I am jealous of all that fun.
Thanks, it was fun! I plan to make another, hopefully sooner rather than later.
@@bentoncox purchased my warmoth body today. Telecaster deluxe with arm contour, and belly cut. You started it, telling my wife...haha
@@thorpenator9148 haha! Awesome! You won’t regret it. What color did you get, and what kind of pickups are you thinking about putting in it?
@@bentoncox I went natural...want to do a tru oil finish with black pick guard. I might go with the same pick ups...those are great together. ..or a set of P rails.
@@thorpenator9148 Nice, I it's gonna look and sound kiler.
I wanna make one in the butterscotch blonde with a black pickguard, swamp ash body mahogany neck CBS style headstock with dimarzio titans. I play metal but i adore the fender design. Happy new year man. Great build and great presentation.
Heck yeah, I dig the butterscotch blonde with black pickguard. Would be a killer looking guitar. And hey, John 5 plays teles. Thanks for the comment!
I’ve been really wanting to build a Tele Deluxe like this, and this video popped up now.. my bank account didn’t need me to see this
I feel ya, I follow too many gear channels for my bank account to keep up with. haha
Warmoth + Hipshot = Heaven! (plus some good Stewmac tools if you're a DIY and don't feel like paying a luthier)
which bridge routing did you choose on the Warmoth site to fit the Hipshot correctly?
Vintage Strat Flat Mount route on the Warmoth body. But I did it the other way around. The route for the bridge had already been routed (I bought an in stock body) so I had to choose the correct hipshot bridge to fit the body. I chose the “Vintage (.446)” option for the hipshot bridge.
@@bentoncox Very helpful video. I think i'll pull the trigger and try a Warmoth.
The Warmoth necks and bodies are top notch. You won’t be disappointed.
15 seconds into the video and you may experience high levels of anxiety. Viewer discretion has been advised. Haha 😄
I.... can't believe what I JUST SAW... WHAT IS THIS LMAOOOOOO
😂😂😂
What is the pedalboard size?
It’s a pedal train classic 2. The specs are on this page. pedaltrain.com/products/pt-cl2-sc
Hi Benton. My wife is a nurse and they are getting almost overwhelmed at the hospital with young people coming in who can't breathe from Vaping. Vaping does permanent damage to your "alveolus" which are responsible for the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your lungs and bloodstream. You need them to breathe and live. Once those sacs are damaged they are not fixable or repairable. These people are being put on a list for lung transplants. If there's anyone in your life you care about or just care about yourself. Please STOP Vaping my brother.
2 power supplies? I'm new to guitar but that seems like overkill. Is there a specific reason for this?
I own more pedals than is shown in this vid and I switch them out periodically. I have two pedals that run off of 18v and each supply only has 1 18v connection, so if I ever setup my board with both of those pedals then I need the two 18v connections. Plus, if I ever decide to build a bigger board I’m already sitting pretty good on power. Not all pedals run off of 9v. Some run off of 12v and some 18v (you also have positive and negative polarity to deal with...) , so depending on what type of power all of your pedals run off of, you have to buy power to accommodate your pedals...
Benton Cox cool, I get that. But if couldn't you use a daisy chain to connect some analog pedals since they require lower mA? That way you can free up more outputs? Seems like a lot of your pedals are analog. Just wondering, thanks
@@mariobernaljr.3433 He can do that but he is limited with 18v connections so he needs two power supplies just for the 18v, and since he has the extra plug because of the two supplies, he can just plug everything in straight up
Ayyyy
WTF with throwing things? did he get free stuff?
Naw, I wish!
awesome guitar man; are those gotho tunners?
Thanks! No, they're hipshot.
To get your money back out you will have to part it out... but like you said... if you are assembling a partscaster, you are doing it to get a custom result just for you.
Warmest told me they did not spray their bodies In Nitrocellulose At all Maybe I talk to the wrong person
You are correct. I was mistaken about the nitro finish. Other commenters have brought this up so I edited the description under the video addressing this.
It's that a Panerai watch on your wrist??
You good sir know your watches. (But it's actually a really good homage of the panerai, I got it from a Chinese website about 5 years ago)
What finish did you choose on the neck?
No finish. Warmoth's roasted maple necks do not require a finish, so I opted for the raw feel. I like it a lot.
Is Warmoth doing Nitro finish on their bodies? I have built a couple of Warmoth builds, and they said they wouldn’t put Nitro on the body, even for a custom order. When you screw in the neck screws, use a little Paraffin. Nice build. Great looking guitar.
No, I was mistaken. It is a poly finish. I put an edit in the description. Thanks for the tip about Paraffin! And yeah, I really enjoy the guitar!
this whole time i thought it was pronounced war-moth
to-may-to to-mah-to
Warmeth
@@jvahausstudios1276 lol
That’s excellent mate. I thought the same about buying a Friedman.
I couldn't be happier with this build. I ended up taking it to a guitar tech and got the push/pull pots wired up so now the guitar has reached its full potential! Tone variety galore! Thanks for the comment.
Really nice guitar man! I've been wanting to build a 72 Telecaster Deluxe style guitar from Warmoth for a while now so it's awesome to see how awesome your guitar came out. Congrats!
Thanks! SInce the making of this video I took the guitar to a guitar tech and he wired in the push/pull pots so now the guitar has way more tonal variety.
Exactly the right choice for the neck. I have big hands and all thin necks are not really comfortable for me. In addition, the Fat Neck sounds better when you play 11´ 12´ 13 s gauge strings. Warmoth is also known for its quality. Anyway I think it was the right choice. cheers - / ,, /
Thanks, it's one of my guitars that I grab the most to play and I have 11s on it. :)
That is a beautiful tele deluxe! I really need to order from Warmoth asap!
Thanks! I really dug the looks of the Friedman Vintage T and that inspired this Warmoth build. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed if you order from Warmoth.
Was it the 1 5/8” nut? I want to leap.....any difference in tone as compared to flat sawn non-baked maple? Do you lose warmth and gain definition? Does it it feel slinkier with out the string trees? Looks like a sweet build.
I got the 1 11/16' nut. As far as tone is concerned I really don't know. I do know that all parts considered I really love the sound of the guitar (the vids don't do it justice, I'm still learning to get a recorded guitar sound that I am happy with, in this particular video I have the amp pretty close to the camera's Rhode mic). If I'm being honest, I mainly chose a roasted maple neck so I wouldn't need a finish, and looks were a secondary consideration. I really didn't consider the tonal qualities for this particular purchase. And if you had not of asked, I probably would never have thought about it, but now that you mention it, yeah, I'd say that it does seem a bit slinkier without the string trees, lol. If you haven't ran across it yet, check out Lucas Fowler's vid on the warmoth roasted maple necks. He talks about their tonal characteristics : ua-cam.com/video/CDtgFT4MpyU/v-deo.html Thanks for the comment!
Your pedalboard SUX
You said nitro finish on the body, I think warmoth only offer nitro on necks, not bodies. Did you get yours finished somewhere else?
No, it was finished by Warmoth, I bought one of their completed bodies from their “in stock” showcase. I actually think that all their finishes are nitro.
Benton Cox they use a poly undecoat and urethane too coat so no nitro, but they are good quality nonetheless. Enjoy your build, it looks killer!
Hmmm...I feel like there is some twilight zone / Mandela effect thing happening right now, lol, j/k. I guess must have been confused and thought the bodies were nitro finished since the necks are.
Thanks for sharing! Is that a 2 piece or 1 piece flamed roasted maple? Warmoth is telling me they no longer build 1 piece flamed roasted maple neck, only 2 piece.
It’s a two piece.
If you pick the modern/vintage construction style, the fretboard and neck shaft will be one piece with a skunk stripe in the back for the truss rod installation. That’s as close to a one piece that you’ll get from them.
15 seconds in and I already love it hahaha
Haha! Thanks!
Damn that Tele is a sexy looking beast. But if it was in my hands, I'd be playing some bad Blink 182 riffs
Haha. Thanks, man. I love it. It’s the guitar I grab the most because it sounds sweet and can do just about anything.
Really glad you did this start to finish. Awesome.
Yeah, I tried my best to capture entire process of a “noob” for noobs. Lol.
Sick! Do get those fret leveled and edges rolled. That is the final step. I just completed my Deluxe with a modern custom wide range (Gibson size) humbucker and a humbucking p90 for the neck. Roasted Alder and Rosewood over roasted Flame Maple. It kills for my purposes; Jazz and Skramz.
Thanks for the comment. I bet yours sounds killer!
Thanks for this video. I've thought about building one of these. I'm a lefty and my choices are fairly limited, but through Warmoth I could get anything I want. I have also looked into some builders, but not sure I want to spend that much at this time.
I definitely highly recommend Warmoth. I’m about to be working on a second build soon. Will upload a vid of the process.
comfortable?
Yes, it rides nice on a belt. Also, adding the Tek-Lok gives more mounting options for mounting the hatchet on bags, or packs, or anything else.
Call this guy if you need durability testing for your products!
Haha! Maybe I should make that my niche!
Doing my third warmoth build and I love it. I use the Hipshot as well! I am doing a HSS with two Lollar Blondes and anImperial-f in the bridge
Joseph Castelli Nice! I bet that will be a killer sounding guitar. I have a strat that I’ve been considering replacing the single coil in the bridge with a humbucker and I’ve been looking into the Lollar imperial f as one of the options!
GIBSON SUCCCCKKKSSSS!!!!! O'DOYLE RULES! J/k :p
Looks nice man! I am currently trying to build a guitar . It's good fun!
Thanks, I love the neck on it. Good luck with your HSS build! The hardest part for me was soldering all the electronics, but it was really more time consuming than anything. I really enjoyed the whole process and will definitely build another one. I'm thinking a traditional telecaster for the next one! Thanks for the comment.
F-Stop and REI should pay you for this! Great review, guys!
