For the last 8 years, I've built my own guitars. I started because most pre-built guitars were too heavy for my aging shoulder (broke my left collarbone when I was a kid). After completing 10 builds of randomly-sourced Squier and Fender parts, I decided to do one chambered Warmoth build to see if the end result lived up to the hype and the cost. It did.
I'm now on Warmoth build #5. I've placed custom orders, then changed them, then changed them back. I've called them many times, with some off-the-wall questions, and they've never been anything less than courteous, patient, helpful, and even chatty. Yes, their parts are expensive, but you absolutely do get what you pay for. If you want a guitar MADE FOR YOU where everything goes together easily and the intonation is spot on all the way up the neck, you've come to the right place. These guitars hold their own against the best guitars I've owned in 40 years of playing. You won't be disappointed.
