How are you, im steve from knucklehead axes in boston, I sold that guitar to the gentlemen you went over it for. The guitar was a custom order 1 of 2 built in 1996 @ wurlitzer music on comm Ave in boston, by a tech that built 2 of them both nitro finished by warmoth, the other 1 is identical just blue, same top same neck. And he still owns it to this day. Nice to see one of my guitars on your show, its an honor thanks, steve knucklehead axes boston.
I thought Warmoth didn’t do nitro finishes... I could be wrong, ironically the last time I bought a Warmoth item was also in 96, a new neck for my old Warmoth LP. I’ve always bought my parts unfinished.....
@@corneliuscrewe8165 they do nitro finishes in clear and vintage tint
@@corneliuscrewe8165I don’t know when Warmoth started offering nitro finishes, but I’ve been buying Warmoth parts for almost 10 years and nitro finishes have been an option for the whole time I’ve been doing business with them.
That's a beautiful Partscaster!
That's cool. Charvel vibes.
Sure does looks like it
Last year bought the least expensive optioned Warmoth strat neck you can get.
The neck was still of absolutely superb quality and plays great.
Even the frets required no work out of the box.
I love the idea of home built guitars, most aren't great but are usually really unique and got played a lot.
Any guitar played and loved that much gets a special spot in my heart.
Warmoth parts are extremely nice
E.U. Wurlitzer was a music store in Worcester Massachusetts. I bought my first fender amp there way back in the day.
Comm Ave in Boston had one too.
I bought my Les Paul custom from the one in Boston in 1983.
Maybe they helped with the original order?
This was one of the satellite locations that opened in the mid-80's time frame along with another in Natick. Wow do I miss those shops!
Yeah! Thats where I bought my first Gibson. A Custom LP Wine Red brand new in 1993. She is still with me .😎
Warmoth don't build the guitars - you order the parts and they send them to you and you assemble it yourself.
They actually would put them together for you. It was really expensive. Not sure if they still do it.
They'll also build it for you. Just costs extra for the labor.
@@johnalbasini6790Really ? - Last I knew they weren't doing that but admittedly that was a long time ago since I bought stuff from them. Fair enuff.
Going the Warmouth route gets expensive quick 😮
They used to do full guitars.
I’ve had 2 warmoth Strats assembled, one with a Gibson scale neck. Workhorse Fender licensed lookers.
What a SCORE! Gorgeous, and clearly well crafted!
Great wood choice by the original owner. This thing looks like it would be a lovely addition to any collection.
The guitar was probably built for the Wurlitzer store in the 1990s the store closed in 1999.
Warmoth bodies and necks were used on 1980s Valley Arts guitars.
Built a couple Warmoth Parts casters. Love their parts and the beautiful things you can do in finishes and customization.
Id buy that guitar
Typical warmoth necks are 10-16" details will be stamped on the heel, both body and neck if any
I’m a believer in partscasting now. This guitar is incredible all around. Not exactly my taste but this is pure 90s super premium bliss.
Absolutely brotha.Very cool partcaster
Aren't all Strats pretty much partscasters.??
@@KaosII1968No, because stuff may happen at the factory where a certain neck gets mated to a certain body for whatever reason.
EU Wurlitzer was a music store chain...it's likely the guitar was assembled by a tech at the original buyers local music store.
I have a Warmoth tele neck that I absolutely LOVE. I finished it myself with TruOil, which is just gunstock oil. Best neck I've ever played.
more partscasters please!
Definitely a Parvelcaster.
Very cool.
Partscasters are the way to go if you are willing to tinker.
Curling the wires increases self-inductance of the wires. (except is it is shielded, in that case lenght nor curling does matter (It is in that case, "transmission line") If you want to do it as good as possible you use a well routed PCB, a bit less good is point to point wire, but that depends on the type of wire, lenght, shielding etc. For instance in my LP Standard 60's they use point to point but they did not use a star-grounding, and no shielding paint in the cavities. That thing is more noisy then my 89 USA stratocaster.
I shielded the cavity and changed things to a star-ground instead of trusting the earth to go from the potmeter housing to the metal (aluminium? ) plate under the potentiometers. It is still noisy compared to my MM Majesty but that is a modern guitar using a PCB and better shielding . (There is even a switching powersupply in there and you do not notice that, that good it is shielded and routed)
I love my Les Paul but the design is from an electronics point of view ancient and that topped of with a beautiful paintjob using the most bad type of paint thinkable, just because some guitarists think it has some magic power. My LP has more scratches after a month of playing then my Strat (non nitro) since 1989. If I had knew that before, I probably would have bought an other brand that uses a modern much better snake oil free paint and a PCB and proper shielding. It is I really wanted a Gibson Les Paul since I started playing 40 years ago, and I like how it plays, and looks(as long as I do not use it to much without gloves 🙂 ) , otherwise I would have returned it to the store.
That is some great color finish and wood. It's interesting, I'll give it that. A good Fender/Gibson mix.
Very nice Fender "Show Master" vibes... Gorgeous.👍
There was an EU Wurlitzer guitar/music shop on Comm Ave in Boston years ago. Maybe it was originally a custom order/build from them. How cool.
I'm stoked about my new Warmoth "Z" body build that's on order now. Roasted Alder HSH with a Rosewood laminated top, contoured neck heel and "off menu" select wood make-up. It started when i wanted to buy a minty Prestige FR series for $1,600 but Sam Ash was only offering $600 trade on my also minty Van Leuween Jazzmaster so i cancelled that idea, kept the Jazzmaster and bought the Warmoth parts over time. Warmoth compound (stainless) neck Schaller locking tuners, Ibanez tite-end bridge, 920D Suhr wiring harness, Juarez Duncan bridge, Fender custom Cray single and a DiMarzio Bluesbucker in the neck. I'll keep at it until the selections and workmanship are spot on and appreciate you covering this Warmoth build. There's a good chance this guy didn't see to it the final fret level and dress was completed resulting in the fret buzz you're seeing. It's on the Warmoth purchaser to follow through on that end, guys think they can just assemble parts and forgo the lutherie.
Thats a very nicely speced out guitar…the builder did a good job👍
Trogly should 100% build a Warmoth custom double neck just for the fun. But need to be a silver burst
A Troglycaster
Sounded really good.😀🤟
Beautiful guitar.
Beautiful
Great birdseye, flame, and finish. As good as any Fender, tonally
Wurlitzer was a great Boston music shop.
I have a Warmoth neck from that era with same Birdseye and a Rio Pallisander fingerboard. No overseas gigs with this one anymore...
there was an EU Wurlitzer on newbury st at mass ave way way back could be a store location number
Companies like Warmoth/Boogie Bodies (Warmoth grew out from Boggie Bodies heritage) and Gofin from Canada, ESP (which started as a parts seller/distributor) GHOST BUILT for many companies: Valley Arts, Tom Anderson, Kramer, Zion...
Warmoth necks are almost always a 10”-16” compound radius.
My Warmoth experimce was good, but I’d probably choose a more natural finish instead of black to clear burst. (It’s a black limba strat with a quilt top, I put one of those aftermarket Strat Bartione necks on it because I was looking to make my take on the Reverend Pete Anderson Baritone (that’s got a t-style body, with a T-S-S pickup configuration, a bit of a nod to a Nashville tele. They also have a standard scale version of these.)
Fingerboard and neck I really like. The rest of it kind of gives me Ibanez vibez as much as Fender.
"El tesoro es aquí" Cool 😂
I've never seen a channel bound fender neck except for on Sweetwater's website. That Birdseye neck is so gorgeous! I love Gibson guitars but if I had to only have one guitar, it would be a Strat. The most tone options and durable as hell!! The only thing is that middle pickup gets in the way sometimes, so I keep it low. Thank you for showing is this guitar!!!
The coiled wire could be to control certain frequencies without using an active EQ. Passive EQ blocks for amplifiers and speaker cabinets use capacitors and coils of wire to control frequencies sent to individual speakers.
E U Wurlitzer was a small chain of guitar shops in the Boston area.
E.U. Wurlitzer was a music store. There were a few around Boston years ago.
Wow that partscaster sounds great
that's a nice sounding guitar. i like the look, too.
Warmoth parts are great! Not cheap, but really high quality. Definitely made to spec. You can get just about anything. Favorite replacement necks.
Considering making my (Strat style) partscaster into a two humbucker guitar? Although pickups make a huge difference, can’t make a Strat into a Les Paul ! 🫤
…more LP like Strat???
How I wish you knew more about Warmoth.
From my point of view that top if UT had varying hint of red orange and maybe some blue would look like a nice camp fire set in a stand. I it were a translucent red though it would look more like molten lava. Either way it's an awesome looking top. Going by what I was told by my electronics instructor who was a retired military electronics tech master that curly que wire I much like creating shielding for wir 6:15 es that are usually more selectable to ingress or regress ( signal leakage in or out of a wiring harness or circuit). More or less your creating a magnetic field coiling the wire that way. Plus it helps tidy up a circuit or harness. Also the magnetic field helps shield the rest of the parts . The first fret looks a bit long . Almost as if it should've had a zero nut right after the locking nut. Or maybe it's under the locking nut.
Iam still considering a warmoth neck for my v4 jazzmaster still shy on the shipping to germany
Even in a parts caster video , Gibson pups , groan.
EU Wurlitzer was a guitar and music instrument shop in Boston on Newbury St. (at the corner of Mass. Ave) back in the 80's and 90's. It was located about a block away from famed Berklee Music College.
Yup, back then was a music store where you could actually see more than just a couple of high end Gibsons and Fenders. Most mom and pop stores only had 1 or 2 Gibsons in stock.
@tauntonengine3 most small music shops don't carry Gibson, a lot of them have Epiphone but Gibson dealer fees are too high for the average mom and pop shop, but most music stores I've been to have Fender.
Gibson is a massive behemoth that tries to cut down the middle man and the little man whenever possible. They will even verifiably use a smaller company to make products for them, openly steal the company's R&D and design, then sue the company for using a design they stole from the company in the first place. It's a rich boy company full of rich boy big corporate types
Pretty much the binary opposite of "Mom and Pop" unless Mom and Pop's last name is Rockefeller
A man took a lot of time putting that guitar together. If only he could be here
RIP!
I’ve got a mid 90’s warmoth put together by a guy in Huntington Beach California.. my longest adult relationship.. birdseye maple neck so good I ended up buying another neck from them for a telecaster I’ve got . They are amazingly well made ..! I’ve got a lot of guitars . But my first was the little turtle 🐢 logo .:)
Eu wurlitzer on comm Ave boston mass is where Nuno Bettencourt got the parts for the first N4
Quite a beautiful guitar from head to strap button. You've probably mentioned it before but what amp do you play through on these videos?
Pretty sure it's a Marshall Bluesbreaker.
Warmoth is a licensed Fender supplier. Bodies and necks. Made to your spec. finished or unfinished. nitro or poly
They don't do nitro
Do the curly wires add impedance?
nah, they would have to be wrapped around core, just for looks
Is it bad that this my favourite guitar that has been featured on the show?
Nice looking guitar, the body and neck are expensively specced out Warmoth choices, and I always preferred the Schaller "Floyd's" to the real Floyd's and with the pick bonus it looks like he's got a nice guitar on (in) his hands 🙂
Schaller has made genuine good Floyd Rose trems for decades. Floyd Rose, Schaller, Ibanez and Gotoh are all very good Floyd style trems. Mueller may also make a Floyd style trem, and their work is excellent too. Kahler made Floyd style trems for a while too, and they were better then Schaller.
Nice to see you open the cheap gator case and have my experience with the neck carve out not being deep enough to hold the guitar in place. My PRS flops around in it. 👎
That neck is incredible.
Warmoth necks are historically far better quality than what they are sold to replace
EU Wurlitzer was a Boston guitar shop.
The HH Partscaster in a high gloss urine cheddar finish
I’m really enjoying the non Gibson videos
Warmoth have the good stuff for a build, quality pieces can get expensive but worth it for a dream build diy😊
I picked up a partscaster last week for the first time despite buying "genuine" guitars for years! Built as thinline Esquire, was a bit of a bargain, decent hardware and electronics and finished in gold sparkle!
Have you ever checked out old Yamaha Studio Lords or Lord Players?
Wurlitzer probably a Boston area MI store. Odds are they put it together.
Why drill holes in a perfect maple neck when there are better roller nuts and locking tuners available? 🧐🎸
Neck and middle are good, bridge is VERY....quacky (not in a Green way, either) in the cleans.
The wire management comes from the garage door world. The pros curl the excess wire at the door safety sensors.
Anyone had any luck ordering a left handed body from them when there isn't a leftie option listed? Thinking of Jaguar especially.
I love my Warmoth Telecaster. That one, and my LP Standard are in my hands if my house is burning down
I do the same thing when re-wiring with the coils. It just gives you some extra length of wire for future work. At least that’s what I do.
That guitar looks so 90s
That wiring in the back looks like he wrapped it around a pencil to make it round like that
Why, though?
"The treasure is here"
If you ever wanted to do one of those DIY guitar kits, but you wanted something with better quality, I would 100% recommend Warmoth. You will spend more money compared to a DIY kit, but that’s because everything on your guitar can be custom designed by you. My second Warmoth body and neck just came in, and by the time I’m finished, it will cost me less compared to going with a Fender Mod Shop.
If i put all new electronics in my strat, refinish it and shape the neck to my liking is it a partscaster? Where do we draw the line here?
Yea, I think that qualifies as a Partscaster. For what its worth no other guitar begs to be modded more than one ending in the name "caster" - there is a reason they painted them with car paint used on hot rods originally
No. It's still the original neck and body (and bridge).
Changing finish/shaping neck/changing electronics (including pickups) doesn't make it a partscaster.
That is where I draw the line anyway. Partscaster needs to have either the neck or body replaced (or both).
Just my personal opinion.
@@raytorvalds3699I'm with you Ray. It's more of an extremely hot rodded strat
⬅️ strat has a Warmoth neck. They’re a good company, would recommend
I have a partscaster with an MJT nitro body, Warmoth roasted maple neck and ss frets. I’d put it up against any custom shop Fender and it’s 1/5 of the price.
That's cool !
That Warmoth is a great looking "partscaster" . I'd take that over an American made Fender stratocaster .
The neck will be sharp and unfinished. Fender rolls their neck edges.
Oh Trogly-Trogly-Trogly ever since I had to cancel my Premier Guitar magazine subscription after being fired from two jobs in a row ( I tell the truth ! ) Ive had a void in my guitardation mutiverse and you my friend have filled that void ...THANK YOU !!
What the hell does having a premier guitar Subscription have to do with getting fired from jobs?
@@216trixie ATTACK-ATTACK !!!
Ooh! Nice. Warmoth make high quality parts. Currently having a luthier throw a warmoth Mustang together for me: 1-piece swamp ash body, roasted flame maple neck, macassar ebony fretboard, vintage Fender parts, nitro burgandy burst w competition stripe, painted headstock, heavy relic, hot rails in the bridge and kinman grunge-tang in the neck.
Some people like to wrap their wire around a pen or pencil and give it that curly cable wire look .
guitars like this are great! he was right about it being mid 90s im pretty sure. by the mid 90s people wer making professional level guitars at home with the best parts available and wer a much more affordable way to level up to a quality instrument. i got started in 1994 wen i raided my dads parts stash and built a whole pearl white strat with an old worn slab board neck that i found out later is actually Brazilian rosewood. my dad helped me route out a small section so that i could mount a humbucker to the pick guard slanted exactly like the single coil was. i cut the pick guard with a hot knife and i was in business! lol.
Ive been wanting to do a ' Parts Telecaster' build though Ive yet to actually do it ( Love to do a Thinline Tele Custom ) Thanks Trog !
Always a fun way to use up parts left over from upgrading other instruments.
Lol
@@216trixie Connect the dots
@@ethanhitchcock5431 Why?
That chip by the neck joint does not look like nitro to me...more like poly.
It means the treasure is here
Warmoth used to be an inexpensive option in the late 90s-2000s. Now it seems its cheaper to just buy something premade.
Warmoth is usually way more expensive than the stuff they make parts to replace on especially if you got them to assemble it for you. Never seen a $600 Fender branded neck. Have seen a $600 Warmoth replacement neck for a Fender though
If you take off the neck it will reveal the secrets if it’s a warmoth.
E.U. Wurlitzer was a musical instrument store in Massachusetts. I worked at the one in Boston in the late 90's. They've since closed down.
Toasty cheesecaster.
@Trog.....have you ever had an older Stadium Sg in your hands? I wondered what type of pickups they put in those?
That finish chip near the neck pocket looks like polyurethane and not nitro. Too thick for nitro in my opinion.
it gives me Eddie van Knopfler vibes😂
