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

Think you're really happy with it, right? :lol: will help you on your "no-new-guitar-in-2009" war :D

Not sure if has a Wishlist, haven't surfed much on the new site yet...

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!

Not if you want a Les Paul body, it's like $750 for the cheapest.

It is, ask for the same configuration on a custom order and you'll see :D A burst finish is $250

It doesn't count as a new guitar if you've already got some of the bits!  :lol:

There is a Wishlist bit in "My Account", but I can't work out how to add anything to it.

Yeah! If you already have a body and a neck and buy then 3 new bodies and 3 necks to see which ones matches better, that's not new guitars :lol:

Warmoth needs to introduce a few more body shapes; surely if it's worth having two V shapes, they can add a Destroyer, Mockingbird or Kelly in there as well. And you'd think they'd have added an obviously Dean inspired shape by now; I wouldn't approve in this case, but imagine how many sales the Razorbacks would pull in. Oh, the most glaring ommision is probably the Ibanez RG shape. Hell, they could even do a JEM. Oh, and the closest you can get to an ES-335 is a chambered doublecut LP, although to be fair ES-335s are considerably more difficult to build if you do it properly.
They should offer AANJ style neck joints as well. That'd kick ass. And they need to offer routing for wraparound style bridges. And through-neck style necks and body wings.

To be fair though, the catalogue is more than substantial as it is. >.>

But overall, like BYOC pedals, you can build a much better guitar to your spec than buying the latest Fen-son Strat-o-paul.  Warmoth are great products and the website is all you need.

Mockingbird

They had it, but BC Rich asked for they stop doing it...

For the 335 you've the L5S that can be asked hollow with F-holes, a guy from Warmoth forum has a Black Korina body with Indian Rosewood neck L5S, he retired his 335 after finish it, in his own words...

about the Dean, you mean a ML or Razorback? I'm not sure it would sell too much as once a guy from there told me they made a batch of necks with Dean headstock and it didn't sell fast, so they're pretty much not going to do it again, if I udnerstood correctly... You could tell them about when they did the batch and say that now it's more on the trend (depending when they did the batch), but I'm not sure they will do it...

What do you mean by AANJ neck joint? This you relax that you won't see, perhaps only if fender reduses to keep with their contract with them (they're licensed, so they can use the shapes and neck pocket)

I *think* the wraparound bridge is pretty much just the tune-o-matic with no stoptail route... You'd better ask them about if...

Neck-thru is pretty much hard to happen, because the level of building needed is bigger and would be very hard to them to do it "ready to build" and to give waranties about it... Have asked it some times in the last two or three years :lol:

Instead of the square Strat heel.

Mm. I was just getting a little carried away.
Still; the effort spent on that site would've been far better spent thinking up new stuff. :\

But, the AANJ is the one thing I'd realistically like to see; I don't see what's stopping them besides the fact that the neck heels would probably need to be respec'd, which would be no issue.
