New Warmoth website

[Philly Q]

Warmoth have updated their website:

http://www.warmoth.com/Default.aspx

It seems to have all sorts of wizzy new animation and stuff, but every page takes forever to load. 

And half the features don't seem to work on my antiquated PC (just minor things like logging in and shopping baskets).  :(

Yes, it has been talked on their forum, also the guys from forum helped them, showing some mistakes...

I thought it was slow first, now it's about as fast as it was...

You probably saw that they increased their prices too... on the average body/neck it wasn't big thing, but on the Carved top it is... :?

I think that there is someplace there to comment the troubles with their webmaster, if you have the time...

They just made everything black and grey and copy pasted the information. Plus the whole loading windows for options is going to piss me right off.

[MrBump]

I like it.  Needed doing.

[Philly Q]

Maybe I need to clear out some cookies or something.  It's just not working for me.

Cause it's shite.

Woah, they really unleashed the photoshop filters there... it needs some polishing, for sure.

Nice to see who's using warmoth products though.

is it just me or is it kinda the same but with a black background and slightly more upmarket menus? :lol:

[Rock Pig]

At first I thought it was inconvenient and took too long to load.

Then I saw that split Jazzmaster thing and came. It's not all old stuff, it seems.

[FernandoDuarte]

There is some new stuff, not as much as I would like :lol:
But ok, they are very conservative on the way that only put something to sell when they're 200% it will works

oh man.. this is such a gorgeous colour!!!! so drool worthy


put a no inlay maple/maple neck on that, chrome hardware and i'd want to have babies with it! one of the most gorgeous colours ever!!


this one aint bad either, but i'd hate to ruin it with a pickguard

Thats probably the most gorgeous tele i've ever seen, and i have to agree it'd be a shame to cover it up with a pickguard....


so why not ask them to make a pickguard out of the same top and bookmatch it central, and paint it the same with a black outline.

that blue one kinda looks like it's got two eyes... cooool!

I'm actually enjoying one new aspect of the site, this 'modern view' on the showcase, it's great, like the itunes/ipod flip thing.

Are showcase bodies and necks cheaper than normal? they seem to be good value... and some, utterly gorgeous.

There are a few that if i had the money right now, would be bought for sure!

I'm not in love with it.

I think the Showcase is cheaper than getting something built from scratch - if you look in the "Paint" section a solid colour on a Strat body is $185, but there are ready-finished bodies in the Showcase for as little as $260.  There's still some mighty expensive stuff in the Showcase though!

Personally I'd only buy a body from the Showcase - I'm fussy about the weight and the appearance of the wood.  I might custom order a neck though, since they don't have much choice in the Showcase if you want a '59 or SRV shape, for example.

Do they still have a Wishlist option on the new site?  I can't find it anywhere, and my old Wishlist has disappeared.
