Ever wonder why you can't find what you want in the In-Stock Showcase? Ever wonder why you can't find an option in Custom Builder that you saw in the Showcase? Wonder no more!
When I was a kid in the 80s, the christmas catalog would come in the mail around September. For months, I would scour every page over and over again thinking about which toys I wanted. The Warmoth showcase is my adult christmas catalog. I can browse endlessly thinking about all the cool combinations and playing with the picture it feature. As always, thank you for the great videos and the awesome guitars, Aaron!
i wish you guys would offer more hardtail fender replacement options in your in stock showcase. i can't be the only one who orders a bunch of hardtail strats and jazzmasters. even if its just 1 or 2 items here and there.
You're not alone I prefer hardtail strats myself I have eight stratocasters six of them are hardtail. If I get stuck with a tremolo strat I'm the guy who puts a block of wood in it. Smack that bridge straight to the body so it ain't moving.
Stay safe Aaron, great videos, love the factory tours. I was taken round the old place, I think, in 1992 and again in around 2000 by Ken. Best wishes to everyone at Warmoth.
I agree. I'm suffering from Stage 4 Inoperable Double Lung Cancer and I'm attempting to learn how to play guitar. These videos are giving Me ideas of Guitar builds. And building My very first Guitar using Warmoth guitar bodies.
These videos are awesome!! I have learned so much more about Warmoth from these videos. Keep up the good work. I also love all your personal builds they are great.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE these are great videos. Hope to see Warmoth along with everything else back to full strength again as soon as possible. The best gear my left handed money can buy. Glad to see Warmoth embracing constructive suggestions and criticisms along with the 'good feels' comments, too many smiley jazz hands is a one-way ticket to Gibsonville! Keep it real and more power to you.
Look Aaron, to me your showcase is a treat! I don't have the kind of money to build a guitar every year, but I go quite regularly to see what kind of crazy ideas you had and get surprised almost every time!
Arron, I have some expensive guitars that I bought over the years, but I still prefer your custom builds , because they are exactly what I want and not a compromise , and the quality is always excellent. I’ll be ordering another body and neck when you get back to work. Have a great weekend
Thanks for the info! I ordered mine custom bc I couldn’t find what I wanted in stock. I did, however, wonder why there were in stock items, and didn’t realize there will be some exciting unique pieces!!! Now I’ll be watching!
Hay sending our love from Australia, I have brought from Warmoth befor and it’s still my favourite guitar (built better than my fenders and Gibson’s) can’t wait to place an order soon- love the videos keep up the great work 😊
Warmoth is a class act...great company...great products. I have a body and neck on order. This will be my fifth build , and each one gets a custom neck plate that I have a guy laser etch. I will have to come up with a good idea for the neck plate during these strange times! Thanks for the great videos Aaron!
I wish I could order my dream guitar, but my idea of my dream guitar changes every week or so! Thanks Aaron for showing everything Warmoth has to offer, you give me new ideas in each videos
Thanks so much Aaron for the update, and for keeping these videos coming! It's keeping my spirits up for sure. I placed an order the first week of March for a custom neck as a replacement for one of my favorite Teles. It's also my first order from Warmoth! Although I will say that it's quite possible that I've spent more time on the Warmoth website then even regular customers over the last several years haha! Finally pulled the trigger, and am super stoked for that day when it finally comes. Definitely a devastating situation we're all going through, and hoping all at Warmoth are safe and healthy. We're on a shutdown here in Minnesota until May 4th as well, fingers crossed. Even though my music career is on hold, my day job is considered critical manufacturing and my girlfriend is in healthcare. Very fortunate to still be working! Just wish I could be building a guitar with all this extra down time...haha! Oh well. I'll be eagerly waiting for things to get back to normal, and you can get some cool guitar parts out the door. We'll get through this!
I've got 2 Warmoth Strat necks that I've ordered thru the custom build page - just my experience, but it's an easy process with a really well done user interface that helps guide you through the available options and a genuinely great product has been the end result both times...Warmoth makes really good stuff IMHO...appreciate these vids too, very informative and well done.
I love my Warmoth body and neck. In fact my neck is unfinished Canary wood. I love playing on this neck, it's smooth as butter. You can't go wrong with Warmoth...Love it...
This was very informative. Besides that, Considering your comments, I am sure that many folks go for warmoth for the extra fret(s), but you really have so much more to offer. That suggests to me you have a HUGE untapped market because most folks aren’t interested in those hangovers. For one, I need to keep my neck relief on the spot. Granted, yours don’t move much but they all move (basses - my warmoth guitar necks never needed adjustment). Anyway thanks again for great content and products. Peace.
This is interesting. I always looked at the stock items as where the limitations lie, but actually there are treasures there you can't get hy ordering custom. Cool man.
@@schmoemi3386 Now, six months later, after returning two custom necks, I had to choose from the showcase. Rather not say why, except, to be diplomatic, they have really nice necks on the showcase.
Thanks for these videos. Informative and amusing. I've been buying Warmoth products for close to 20 years. I always do necks custom order, but I prefer to buy bodies from the showcase because I can control weight, which is my most important aspect. A custom body could be way heavier than I was expecting so i don't chance it. Cheers!
@Warmoth Guitar Products I've been more than happy with my modern construction roasted maple tele neck. The stainless frets were perfectly playable straight from the box. Great video content too. Keep up the good work guys. 🤙🤙🤙
Being old school (seriously, old!), I am set in my ways for the most part. I've ordered using the build option, and from items in stock. I (like others) browse the in stock offerings because it is like the Christmas catalog (as Brad Easley commented) from my childhood and "teenhood" ('50s & '60s). I have found much of what I envisioned in stock. I still have one "perfect" guitar in mind which will only be from a custom build, but thanks to Warmoth, it is completely obtainable.
great explanation. I always wondered if the stock stuff was unsold, cancelled, or goofed up stuff..... maple fretboard when customer meant to order rosewood.
I bought a Warmouth Showcase strat neck w/ a rosewood fret board and 12-16 radius modern construction neck... OMG... it is absolutely fantastic.. Sounds like a strat but plays incredible..
Hey Aaron … thanks so much for this… I have had such fantastic service from Warmoth, especially recently wit the help of Justin. I really do appreciate all the time it takes to make these videos for us. I hope when this current situation is over you keep this up… are any other members the warmth team producing videos ???
About to order my first warmoth build. Can’t wait, trying to figure out if I want a short scale bass or a p bass 34”, I want a fender style headstock but I can’t get that in short scale. It’s totally gonna be worth the wait to have a custom bass that’s one of a kind. Let us hear your original music. Thanks!
I was set to order a roasted ash or alder Vintage Tele body from the builder, made to order function, but in comparing prices to the Showcase, I felt like an in-stock body was like getting a professional paint job for free.
Had bought both in-stock and custom build to order bodies and neck. As Aaron said for common specs body or neck its much faster to get the in-stock stuff. I did a custom build to order body and neck because the spec on that I know will take a long time to be available in-stock or it will never be available altogether. Much faster and easier to go build to order route if you have a very specific thing in mind. Both route gives you excellent results 👍😉
If there is one thing that should be in stock permanently, it would be Stratocaster necks with the LSR nut already done. There are so many Stratocasters (Strat Plus, Stat Plus Deluxe, American Deluxe, Jeff Beck sig, etc...) that have this, and Fender doesn't even offer it. I wish there was some kind of search on the Warmoth website where you could order a replacement neck by referencing your guitar model and year to match specs, kinda like buying a part at the auto parts store, for those who aren't interested in custom stuff. Anything in the showcase is just going to get out faster than a custom job
Thanks for these videos Aaron, they have given me a nice distraction during these times. Been working through some specs on what I want to build and the videos keep it fresh in my mind. Hope the workers at Warmoth are doing okay, and they can safely return to work soon. Cheers!
I love checking out the Showcase bodies and necks. Like getting the Victoria Secret catalog. Only your stuff is way more sexy than anything they have! lol Warmoth rocks.
Love your videos! Can you give a status update on that anniversary body? I'm reaaaaly interested in that carved heel joint contour as a standard option
Surprised you didn't mention that items in the Showcase are typically a lot cheaper than ordering something identical through the custom builder. That's probably why some people try to wait to see if it pops up there, especially bodies.
Hey Aaron, loving the videos! I had a question, if I wanted to order a replacement neck for a Fender Starcaster reissue, would warmoth be able to custome make a Strat-style neck with the star/mooncaster style neck joint? Also love the chair, I have the same one and I agree it's great for guitar playing thanks to the lifting arms! Cheers : )
We love you Aaron, your videos are the coolest. You gotta convince warmoth to let you build those free guitars every month though... And give me some of them too... P.S. I like strats with floyd roses and vito bratta, don't forget.
I love Aaron and the Warmoth videos!
Me, too!
Couldn't agree more, these videos are great
Watching this 3 years later......
We all got played. Like a guitar.
When I was a kid in the 80s, the christmas catalog would come in the mail around September. For months, I would scour every page over and over again thinking about which toys I wanted. The Warmoth showcase is my adult christmas catalog. I can browse endlessly thinking about all the cool combinations and playing with the picture it feature.
As always, thank you for the great videos and the awesome guitars, Aaron!
Got my first Warmoth via that catalog and a local reseller. The book of dreams!
Making me think of my four year old.
When the sight gets slow I know that everyone is doing that.
The videos across TH-cam during the 'vid are such a time capsule. There's just something extra-comforting that a lot of creators put into the content.
I really look forward to these videos everyday. It's a bright spot on my day. It really helps me get through these weird times.
You are a true gem on YT: humble, informative, positive and profesional. Warmoth is so damn lucky to have You in their team. Cheers.
Yea I love these videos. I could listen to you talk about guitar parts forever. Lol
I'm watching these Warmoth videos rather 'late in the game'... the weird times are over and they're still great content.
Cheers. 😎
i wish you guys would offer more hardtail fender replacement options in your in stock showcase. i can't be the only one who orders a bunch of hardtail strats and jazzmasters. even if its just 1 or 2 items here and there.

@@ziggylayneable yeah i've been a warmoth shopper for close to 10 years now and they used to have hardtails in stock all the time. now its rare.
If I’m ever in position to order from Warmoth, chances are it’ll be for a hardtail Strat.
Albums on the wall keep changing
It's because he plays them everyday
Aaron has done such a fantastic job with these videos. Love the level of detail that is covered in these short clips!
You’re doing a great job getting content up during this craziness. Thank YOU.
These videos are very helpful, especially the one about nut width and neck shape. Keep em coming!
Thank you for all you do, especially these straight forward, down to earth videos.
Really interesting vids. Thanks from the UK. Beautiful products. Thankyou
Just started watching Aaron and getting great info on ordering my first Warmoth build. Lots to consider. Keep the info coming...thanks Aaron.
When I ordered for my j bass build I got a showcase body and a custom neck. Great stuff!
Love the vids, look forward to more next week!
Stay safe Aaron, great videos, love the factory tours. I was taken round the old place, I think, in 1992 and again in around 2000 by Ken. Best wishes to everyone at Warmoth.
This is a must watch daily for me. You've become part of my lunch routine, keep doing what you're doing. One of the few bright spots of the Quarie.
The videos just keep on coming, and they are much appreciated. Keep up the good work, but don't burn yourself out!
It is so good to hear that a so appreciated company as Warmoth is keeping strong and solid thru these times... Thanks, and Happy Easter!
Thank you for keeping spirits high in these trying times Aaron!
Beatles. The band I was raised on. You my friend, just took things to a whole new level.
I really look forward to these videos everyday. It's a bright spot on my day.
Ditto
I agree. I'm suffering from Stage 4 Inoperable Double Lung Cancer and I'm attempting to learn how to play guitar. These videos are giving Me ideas of Guitar builds. And building My very first Guitar using Warmoth guitar bodies.

@@vestel777 good for you, man, go for it!
Me too. :)

These videos are awesome!! I have learned so much more about Warmoth from these videos. Keep up the good work. I also love all your personal builds they are great.
You deserve the kind words and the views mate. You do a great job at putting these videos out.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE these are great videos. Hope to see Warmoth along with everything else back to full strength again as soon as possible. The best gear my left handed money can buy. Glad to see Warmoth embracing constructive suggestions and criticisms along with the 'good feels' comments, too many smiley jazz hands is a one-way ticket to Gibsonville! Keep it real and more power to you.
We love you too Brother!
Thanks for sharing Aaron, Be Well All!
Great videos Aaron! You have a great combination of professional and familiar. Keep up the good work!
Look Aaron, to me your showcase is a treat! I don't have the kind of money to build a guitar every year, but I go quite regularly to see what kind of crazy ideas you had and get surprised almost every time!
It makes total sense why there are both avenues. Warmoth is able to offer more with both custom builds and showcase builds VS one or the other.
Thank you for these videos! I wait for them every day and they are super interesting!
Arron,
I have some expensive guitars that I bought over the years, but I still prefer your custom builds , because they are exactly what I want and not a compromise , and the quality is always excellent. I’ll be ordering another body and neck when you get back to work.
Have a great weekend
Just ordered my custom strat body today! You guys are awesome!
More great info . Really enjoying these videos 👍

These videos are great. I love the tech talk.
Aaron is so likeable! I also love these videos at least to learn about guitars in general
Erin, great job as always!, you should consider an "At Erins Place" segment once things go back to normal...its a great change of pace!
This is interesting. I always looked at the stock items as where the limitations lie, but actually there are treasures there you can't get hy ordering custom. Cool man.
There certainly are! Just gotta be watching for them. Some of the coolest stuff we ever do is for the showcase only.
As a dedicated built-to-order customer I'm feeling a bit discriminated now... 😒😒 I want the coolest stuff, too!
@@schmoemi3386 Now, six months later, after returning two custom necks, I had to choose from the showcase. Rather not say why, except, to be diplomatic, they have really nice necks on the showcase.
These videos are excellent, and Aaron’s Van Halen riffs are most excellent.

Just watched the Second Sting Blackout video from 2014. Awesome man! :)

great explanation. I always wondered if the stock stuff was unsold, cancelled, or goofed up stuff..... maple fretboard when customer meant to order rosewood.
What a Nice guy...
Subscribed!!! 🤘🏽😎
You're a pretty cool dude. Thanks for the videos and hope all is well.
Muy buenos los videos! no veo la hora de que todo esto termine y tenga mi bajo en mis manos!
I bought a Warmouth Showcase strat neck w/ a rosewood fret board and 12-16 radius modern construction neck...
OMG... it is absolutely fantastic..
Sounds like a strat but plays incredible..
I'd love to see more strat bodies in the showcase with hardtail bridge routes.
Warmoth components are some of the best I've ever used. But *please* offer more bass options. Neck shapes and fretboard radii especially.
Thanks for the Videos, Good info. Keep on Cleaning!

Like your studio.
rubber soul and blackout side by side, I totally approve
