"Rainbow" Claro Walnut Limited Run

For a preview of this Claro Walnut Limited Release go here: warmoth.com/deepcuts-claro-wa...

[@Unchainedmaple888]

The Meadowhawk just needs to be a regular body and neck option. I've been waiting for years and years for that wonderful ergo bolt on joint to be available as a regular option :)

[@JohnDoe9764]

Yes! I support that. Give us regular Meadowhawk bodies!

[@lyricbread]

Absolutely gorgeous cut of wood! 😍

[@mikeseadorf4952]

The walnut Looks outstanding!!!!

[@douglasvance2938]

I can’t even play anymore due to damage to my hand but somehow I feel like my life wouldn’t be complete without one of these

[@kennywilkinson9270]

As someone else who suffers from hand injuries and different problems developed from playing….i gotta say, one plus side of It is having the excuse to do so many builds because you “HAVE TO HAVE” certain specs so you can play with comfort, or play at all. Life is too short and if guitars make you happy, GO FOR IT. One day when we are dead and gone there will be a great instrument around for the next set of hands and in the mean time you get to enjoy it. Even if that means only looking at it and letting friends jam on it! In comparison so most hobbies adults are into, building parts guitars is relatively inexpensive. I must admit I had a few negative experiences with warmoth and I was all set to boycott them….with my tail between my legs, I admit, they are still the best in the business for aftermarket custom parts. My apologies to warmoth for being a grump. I’ve since ordered from them and have had great experience. Anyway sorry for the rant, back to the point, get one of these beauties!

[@gergemall]

Try to play with other digits or style. Beautiful

[@rocl420]

Buy a LinnStrument or Linnstrument 128, it's absolutely 100% worth it. There are a million free VSTs and MANY amazing acoustic and electric guitars await you. You don't need to stop playing music! Much, much better investment of a similar amount of funds than a wall-hanger/convo piece.

[@rocl420]

wewwww my reply got deleted, shame on Warmoth if it wasn't some auto-function but that's strange that they would set a filter for "L***strument"..... you can still play music, with a guitar/bass layout, if the ravages of time and physical ailments restrict you from fretting strings, just look online

[@rocl420]

two deleted comments about helping someone with hand damage continue to enjoy the guitar -- that last neck purchase was the THE LAST Warmoth buh-bye

[@Joe-mz6dc]

You guys are absolutely slaying it. My bank account that is. You're slaying my bank account.

[@moorecreativ]

love when you guys do these special releases. thanks for including us shredders with the Soloist/Arcade combo!

[@ltgray2780]

Those Soloists look really nice. Looking forward to seeing those. May have to start saving my pennies. Had a Jackson 2 humbucker that I bought brand new in '86, and sold it like a fool in 2015, after a prolonged hospital stay, and thought I'd never play again. After years of rehab, I'm able again, and miss her dearly. If anyone knows of her whereabouts, she's pink, 2 Jackson humbuckers, a Licensed by Floyd Rose Jackson tremolo, and serial number 1863. I want her back. Sold it to (who I thought was) an old friend, who I had taught to play, 40+ years ago, promised if he ever was going to sell her, would offer to me first. He found out what it was really worth and funded his addiction. So, it goes.

[@pupu6oi74]

wow. amazingly beautiful!

[@anyday82]

I can't keep buying these things Aaron!! ARGHH too gorgeous!!

[@paco_rms]

That "all access heel joint" will ever be an option on all bodies? The current countour heel joint is fine, but that rounded one would feel way better on the hands

[@schmoemi3386]

The Contoured Heel is definitely better than nothing. I used a Fender American Ultra Series body on one of my last builds, and I find that even more ergonomic. Downside is that you won't be able to use that standard rectangular neck plate with these... 🤔

[@64firebird]

wish you would have bent it over the contour but still beautiful

[@shoryuXE10]

fancy figured tops typically aren't my cup of tea but goodNESS that meadowhawk is STUNNINGLY pretty

[@MrStrumTheory]

When I think of Walnut, I think of bass. Why no love for bass?

[@MrStrumTheory]

I’d love to get this wood in a short scale G4 body.

[@rocl420]

Yeah it's curious, idk, I guess their market demand is almost entirely teles and strats. A short scale bass in something sexy is exactly what would get me to buy a body/neck set or at least tack on a neck to a special run order. I need a regular-scale righty bass anyway, this coulda been the moment, ah well. Pipedream time: how about some BLANKS with some nice tops?!

[@bluglass7819]

Possibly because of the size of the bookmatched sets. I mill and dry a lot of my own wood and I start planning basses early on to have big enough blanks.

[@warmoth]

@bluglass7819 nailed it. We only get what nature gives us. Some of these pieces weren't even big enough for guitar bodies, hence the 3-piece tops.

[@bluglass7819]

@@warmoth I might just have a building habit myself so I understand. Years ago you guys inspired me to do scratch builds without meaning to. I can never thank you guys enough.

[@rocl420]

These look amazing, especially the HSS strats with what I consider several tops epitomizing "claro" in my eyes. Amazing wood! That said when I think "godlike bookmatch" I'm thinking something like an LP shape or even bigger (a Nomad or King V would have me camping on the website) and it's really sad to see no Regals in the lineup once again. Yeah your matte black gold sets were cool but not close to this kind of special run. really more the opposite (pearloid vs figured wood is not even comparable). The Meadowhawks look great but top-bevel cuts aren't for me, and especially with the "unique choice" option in the builder remaining unavailable, I'm just not in the market. Enjoy for those who want these! They look great but feedback is feedback.

[@user-ug8nc9wu3x]

AANJ needs to be a standard option on all bodies. Make it happen! I just ordered a tele body last week. We'd have taken this shape and neck joint over that for sure.

[@schmoemi3386]

THIS! 👍👍

[@phillamoore157]

Me want! Me want! Me Want! Those are F**KING RIDICULOUS!!! Although, I think those meadowhawks from a couple years ago were stunning. But, these those LP style necks are just killer. Are they staying true to the 24.7 length? I would love to to have an offset with a killer 3-4A flame offset with that flame LP neck. Just out of curiosity, are you guys still doing the finishes like those limited run meadowhawks from a couple of years ago? Or, were those truly a “limited” run. I know sometimes you guys do some one-off finishes/styles if we reach out to you. *Also, if you’ve never done a Warmoth build, it’s tough to remember all the details. Kind you remind us of what you DON’T do, that will have to be done locally?

[@ajbrown]

Take my money now

[@gergemall]

Wow ❤

[@AnonContributor]

I smell an EVH Wolfgang upper horn there...

[@stephanematis]

Wow.

[@barnettg66]

Tell us more about the "all access" neck mount. Will this be a new Warmoth option with compatible necks?

[@JasonMauer]

Any options for lefties?

[@koryjames8361]

FYI - Koa grows in Hawaii. Therefore, it is considered a domestic hardwood. Gorgeous stuff in this video. 😮

[@BasilHayden]

I maybe missed it, but is thjere any distinct tone walnut tops may bring? Thanks

[@PFDarkside]

Very nice! Do those two HH Soloists have off menu controls? (Middle toggle)

[@richfiryn]

A price guide would be handy.

[@victormarinelli5660]

Will Warmoth make Claro Walnut conversion necks?

[@bluglass7819]

Way to use up as much wood as possible with the 3 piece tops. It looks great too.

[@russellzauner]

Wow. Holy...

[@warmoth]

Diver?

[@andresilva8444]

Really nice! Is that all access going to make its way to the more traditional models? Particularly like the teles. Would you rout for a neck P90 on them on request? Good job going through all those syllables with (almost) no mistake. Happy Pride :p

[@StrictlyConsole]

Awesome figures!! But at this point just release the meadowhawk body and neck in the builder, so we can spec them out.. \m/

[@Timanator]

OK you got my $$ with the AANJ, is there an option for an inline headstock??? Please!!!

[@indubitablywatson2525]

What will the price range be for these? They are Seriously Beautiful!

[@victorbeebe8372]

I had a Fender Black Walnut Stratocaster Elite. Not as fancy as the Claro, but still beautiful.

[@charlesharper7292]

😱😱😱😍

[@skidudek2]

Take my money now.

[@Robstafarian]

How does one find a Meadowhawk on the site?

[@warmoth]

Meadowhawks are not a standard offering. They are only done in limited runs, and are only available on the site during those times.

[@2204JCM]

Is Claro walnut a tone wood?

[@schmoemi3386]

Would they make guitars out of it if it wasn't? 🙈

[@TimAyro]

Too bad no Nomad's. One of my favorite guitars ever is the Explorer E2 which was a walnut Explorer.

[@warmoth]

That would have to be a massive piece of Walnut! Unfortunately none of our blanks were big enough.

[@charlesharper7292]

Holy Wow! I'm going to have to sell something!

[@Gremlin48]

Imagine a vip body

[@davidjohnston4240]

Hmm. I wonder if one of those would look nice with my chechen neck.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Looks real nice! But sadly walnut is a lil on the heavier side and I'm all about that light weight ness sooo...

[@charlesharper7292]

Warmoth got the s#/+!!!❤

[@robcerasuolo9207]

Please don't sell out of this stuff before I can afford it. Thanks in advance for your time and attention to this matter. 🤪

[@gaddafiduck]

If I ask really nicely, can I get one for free? 🙏 Thanks

[@ritualistica]

Why is it that all the discussion about guitar necks is always leaning in to it being thinner? There’s a lot of us out there that play Spanish, classical, flamenco, etc who are also into electric guitar playing, that would like some discussion towards wider necks for a change

[@78limegreenlefty]

and no lefty limited run again

[@creamwobbly]

Oh no! You ruined it with all those holes!

[@charlesharper7292]

$$$???

[@mrwiggles837]

not gonna lie the ash peeking through on the cut outs looks bad too me. like i almost would want a burst to cover up those harsh lines. the tele and soloist look great. I hate gold hardware but these bodies are actually begging for gold.

[@martinclayton7260]

Ill give you £20 for them!

[@JoeR203]

Looks nice but I don't want a guitar that looks like hardwood flooring.

[@lewisbeeman]

You have hardwood flooring that is figured and flamed?

[@randallscott6]

Know that the company is in Washington, maybe "Rainbow is not a good name" also, "Mooncaster" . Who is in the marketing department? Also, seems to cater to the heavy metal people. What about Rockabilly, Surf guitars?

[@schmoemi3386]

"Mooncaster" definitely is a hint being a close relative to the Fender Starcaster body shape???!

[@stainless641]

I'm use to whole figured bodies back in the day so laminates just don't do it for me. I just can't justify the extra cost.

[@rocl420]

I can't be alone in seeing the back-lams and thinking "those could have been more guitars, why not just choose some flamed/semi-flamed mahogany instead?" Look into the pickup routes on the link in the description, most of these guitars seem to have gotten pick-of-the-litter body slabs which is awesome. Gorgeous for sure, I wonder what the price will be.
