Wymore Guitars

This thread has been an interesting read for me because a few months back I was looking for a shop to do a couple custom bodies for me. I had done all the CAD work and didn't need any modeling done, just add cutter paths and machine. I felt I needed NC for this design because it had a curved top, a fairly complex shape and a very detailed control cavity. I can tell you I had a heck of a time finding anybody that wanted to take the job on!! The one guy that did return my request couldn't read the data I sent (IGES) and frankly didn't seem interested in working with me to get something he could read. As a result I ended up going to a local shop that did a lot of NC work for molds. This shop ruined three nice black limba body blanks and could never produce a useable body. Hence, I never got the bodies done and lost a customer for a $2100.00 bass. So, I for one would be interested in a RELIABLE, HELPFUL, TIMELY and ACCURATE shop that could take my CAD designs and do a nice job of cutting a custom body (and necks too). I certainly would pay more than Warmoth prices for this kind of service on custom stuff that was Warmoth quality.

That's the one, Thanks Much!!!

That's the way I understand it as well and when the Dimebucker was produced I remember a lot of discussion on the SD forum about it being a copy but Evan Skop of SD went into the details on the differences and they are fairly significant.

It seems like I read in this forum a few weeks ago about somebody that was doing CNC work for custom bodies. I can't seem to find the thread now. Does anybody remember that thread or have any information? It may have been in a different forum, but I thought I read it here .. Thanks ..

I'm not sure if this would work for you but Warmoth does a cool little self contained battery box within their control cavity. Seems like a cool idea if you have a rear routed body.

Use an ohmeter and check all your shielding back to the ground lug of the input jack to make sure there is continuity. You should see less than 5 ohms in all cases. Also make sure you have the pickup coils wired correctly as posted above and that the bridge and three way switch are properly grounded.

+1 I have been around and supervised the installation of a lot of paint booths and that is not an explosion proof fan!! In explosion proof stuff all electronics are sealed so no volatile vapors can get to them.

I have done several Warmoth assemblies and also used Warmoth necks in USA Custom bodies. I have experienced good fit in both cases although the USA and Warmoth heel contour appears to be very slightly different. I have also experienced the issue of the neck sitting a little to high but only on basses, not guitars. One other thing to watch for is if you buy the Gotoh 201 bridge that Warmoth sells you may have the opposite problem of not being able to get the action low enough. BTW, I was just turned onto this forum by a friend and it looks like a really cool site. I look forward to spending some time in here!!
