Be aware if you order a body from Warmoth. It very well may  appear to look like a BC Rich Mockingbird or a Music Man EVH or a Peavey Wolfgang.

I CAN ASSURE YOU IT WILL NOT WORK ON THE STOCK ORIGINAL GUITAR.

Many Ebay bodybuilders don't final sand the body. Which means that you will be hand sanding.

So if you think you are saving money, Think again!

A customer of mine recently brought me a Warmoth body that was supposed to be a PRS knock off. "Yeah Right"   What a Joke.  The quality was fine but the design was wacked out.

The scale was totally completely wrong and it actually had a flange sticking out of the body to bolt the neck on.

As near as I can figure all Warmoth products are basically Fenders with Fender scale & neck joints.

I say again, The Warmoth product is decent enough quality. They just the same old tired designs that all the big corporate guitar companies insist on using because they have paid so much for their trademarks.

Korina Body

A Custom made Korina Tonewood body made to retrofit on Albert May's Ibanez Petrucci Guitar.  When Albert rebuilt his Petrucci Guitar, he used his original neck and my shop made him this wonderfully resonant Korina body. The tonal difference was so incredible that a even a beginner could immediately hear the difference. 

Notice the step routed pickup cavity.  This allows the replacement pickups to mount directly to the body instead of floating on springs. This factor makes the pickups and guitar resonate together.  More gain before feedback and significantly clearer highs and tighter lows.

We compared the original Dimarzio Pickups (Stock) against the Seymour Duncan Black/Backs TM  We were astounded by the difference. The Dimarzio's distorted horribly on the low end compared to the Duncans.

The other comparison of note was the Tremolo.  We compared the Ibanez white metal Tremolo against the Original Floyd Rose. The tonal difference was again immediately apparent. The Original Floyd Rose is made to extremely close tolerances. The steel is hardened to 60 Rockwell. Not only did the guitar hold tune better, it sounded better. The original Floyd was much more responsive than the Ibanez. 

Because I build so many replacement necks
 I always have new or used original Ibanez, BC Rich, ESP & Jackson necks on hand.

Hamer Californian Styled Custom Made Guitar

Custom Made in 1996

Problem: The customer wanted a fat neck that would never break !!!

Ed Roman's shop removed the original neck and made a brand new one.  
It's real easy to make them smaller but when they want them bigger it can be a royal pain.
