Title: Warmoth jump on the Telemaster bandwagon at last!
Post by: Philly Q on February 21, 2012, 06:58:01 PM
Only they're calling it the Jazzcaster, just to try to be different:

Interesting!  Although I'm not GASing for one as much as I was....

If they offered back routing options for, say, a couple of TV Jones pick-ups and a back routed control panel I could have been in all sorts of trouble. But they haven't so I'm OK. For now.

Why not just get the back routed Jazzmaster with those cavities?

It's cool that you can get it chambered - Jazzmaster bodies seem to be generally on the heavy side, I guess they're that bit bigger than Strats or Teles.

I wish there was a like function here
I wish they'd do Axis and Mockingbird shapes (I'm sure they used to)

BC Rich and Music Man asked for them stop or would sue them...

The TV jones I'm almost certain they do, give them a email... The rear routed on this one I'm still unsure... But I think is something to ask too :P

I'll fancy one: black korina, p90's, maybe even a TV Jones.

I don't think you can on this particular body - not on the website, anyway.  You could probably phone up and order one.

And is it's just a Jazzmaster with tele neck pocket, I believe it won't be a problem do have rear routed, black korina, etc...

Yeah, you're right.

I was talking about the "Body Builder" software - the only options that gives for this body are Vintage Tele, American Standard Tele or No Bridge Rout.

I've just mocked this up and it's starting to give me ideas I probably oughtn't to have...

I'd be turning the control plate around of course... Stop thinking about it!
Title: Re: Warmoth jump on the Telemaster bandwagon at last!
Post by: dave_mc on February 22, 2012, 06:16:14 PM
ahh i was only joking about the floyd thing :lol:

but that mockup actually looks pretty good. probably would need to lose the control plate, though. and might look better with two pickups.

Andrew,

That looks like a very cool idea! And yes, turn the control plate around - otherwise the volume knob is hardly accessible.

Cheers Stephan

Hummm AFAIK they ain't have this routing programmed on CNC yet... Usually they would do it for hand, but then has a US$45 upcharge that is a bit "meh"...

I disagree with it being a bit.  Lets think about it for a moment.  You are having someone build you a guitar.  You are getting it built the way you want it.  Through Warmoth, a custom or rather semi-custom guitar, after it is done is extremely low in prices compared to having a guitar made by another company. 

 Besides, you are paying for something that will last a life time.  Divide $45 by the days in the year, and see how much it would cost you a day.  Then divide that by an average of possible years left to an average person's life of your age. 

 Seems pretty affordable to me.  :lol:

I see your point Buggi... I actually I'm ok with it because I know how they work, they considere themselves a "production in line" company... Beside you can order on your specification, they understand the "customization" for that kinda of thing, that is absolutely normal in a luthier, as a break of the production...

As I said, seeying for that side is ok, thinking you're ordering a custom guitar is a bit weird... But the quality of the product make it worth the while, IMO... :)

(also, I live in a country that the currency is cheap, so every penny ends being a lot to me :) )

Yeah, its more like a semi-custom deal.  I didn't realize that you lived in another country either.  Please excuse my assumption.
