According to the Warmoth website the figured maple tops on carved top bodies is double laminated, about 1/8" figured wood on top of the rest plain wood.

Fabulous playing Sam, so fast and clean. Your shedding is just the best!

[@kevinbarnett1960]

[@kingsammyc]

Kevin Barnett haha yep! Straight up stole that one!

[@papablue3015]

love the color of your guitar! that color burst are my absolute favorites!!

[@PatrickWard4]

That has got to be one of the most beautiful guitars!

[@joker6388]

Was not expecting Guitar Maestro! Wow! Guitar sounds amazing!

[@jamsearch3366]

A true master of guitar. Love the way you play the blues. Maybe too many of those fast signature runs for me (don't get mad) but I love the way you play those slow notes. So much feeling. I could listen to you play all day and night. The guitar sounds great but I suspect it's you that is making it shine.

[@kingsammyc]

JamSearch thanks brother! Hope you’re well! Merry Christmas!

[@jamsearch3366]

@@kingsammyc Merry Christmas to you and your family also Sam and a Happy New Year!

[@88grinder]

We love you Sam. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones.

[@kingsammyc]

Built for Comfort thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you too! ❤️

[@seanieg7673]

holy shit you can play mate!! NICE!

[@joshuamichael4312]

Very nice. There's just something special about picking out all your own parts and specs and putting it together. I did the same and built a nice high output Tele with a wizard profile neck. My favorite guitar!

[@filppocadeddu]

Beautiful video!!! Good work!!!

[@Heaview]

I just realized this body model can be used both left and right handed with almost no problem. Theres only to buttons quite apart from the bridge than a tradicional strato, and the cable goes in a position which doesnt hit the hands. Just buy a right handed and change the bridge for a left handed. Easy Peasy, then change the strings, Lemon Squeeze, inverted headstock for free, left handed people happy!

[@wizaxed]

Damn, Sam! That guitar is a beauty!!! Your tone and chops are always on point. I really enjoy your videos. Hoping you make your way back to Chicagoland with a tour or something. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@markmcdonald2421]

Stunning musicianship.

Stormy Mondays. Amazing tone!

[@davidsharp3110]

Wonderful video and guitar Sam!

[@robchristopher5996]

Glad to see you're making good use of that Marshall t-shirt from GAKK in Brighton.

[@OgamiItto70]

The company calls itself "FU Tone." Are you REALLY surprised that they would call their pickup mounting system "PMS?" Plus, gettin' that Gary Moore tone out of that white nylon strap, yeah! Way to sweat the details! Nice little jam, too.

[@kingsammyc]

OgamiItto70 the tone is 90% in the strap!!

[@flyeagles6216]

MISTIC GUITAR !!!! SALUTE FROM ARGENTINA 2021

[@luvyesmusic]

The mahogany wood is just too damn sexy to be on the back of the guitar is all I am saying. Always sounding fantastic, Sam. Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family.

[@arnyarny77]

beautiful guitar, beautiful phrasing!

[@ntsms69]

Sam, always good to see you do the slow blues. I like the older Sam stuff! Memories of many years ago, and my lesson at Bromsgrove!

[@kingsammyc]

ntsms69 happy days bruv! Hope you’re doing well

[@BrettSmithDaniels]

Nice guitar and playing. I'm putting together a warmoth Mary Kaye strat with a Sophia Trem and bareknuckle cobra pickups. I picked out the pickups based on your demo. Thanks Sam...

How to play guitar? How did you learn guitar? What worked for you? Which books, DVDs or website subscriptions did you use? How to play guitar? Please someone tell me.

[@denni95HM]

Just play it man, a good teacher may help you throughout the process

[@wizaxed]

10,000 hours of practice. Then practice some more.

[@ningzhang6683]

awesome guitar should has a owner like you it is really singing

[@kxmrock]

Nice Big Fat Jam Room

[@PabloRomero1991]

BEAUTIFUL sound wow, my Floyd guitar sounds to thin and tinny compared to this. Great job on the components. and playing.

[@robsheppard5353]

Sounds great! What amp and pedals/effects are you using?

[@garycrouse1918]

Sam that is a beaut

[@sirmanny4960]

Trem Chrome .... Top Champ Chrome ... Tuners Black ??

[@masonstigall2661]

Which burst color is that? I can't quite tell from comparing to the Warmoth site, but I think it is Bengal Burst?

[@brucepuckett3503]

beautiful guitar and I want to rip off every single one of these speedy riffs!!!!

[@peterschaefer1665]

Great chops dude...and what is your signal path btw?

[@AshRavens]

Hey Sam, what a beautiful guitar and playing! Could you tell me which warmoth body is close to the Suhr Standard Pro shape?

[@Ratso_DeLynch]

Hey Sam ! It's the sweet demo, builds, reviews and comparisons like yours right here and several other videos/research that made me finally pull the trigger on my own however I'm a little stuck on the neck/net width... : *Burning question about warmoth necks for you* say you can ONLY choose a standard thin neck option not a large neck, boatneck or 59 profile etc, just the closest thing to what you think is a C shape neck. - now what would be your *GO TO* *nut width* to compliment it ? Should I go with *1- 11/16ths (43mm)* as a safe starting point? That's what is considered standard nut width I believe and it matches up with most of my favourite guitars and probably those of other players really because.. . *I know for SURE i cant go much lower in terms of nut width especially the vintage fender size *41mm* will probably too tiny feeling! Im 6"1 and on necks like that in the past with my moderate sized hands (yet smaller pinky finger lol) *the high e string slips off the fretboard when playing fast/soloing* maybe you've experienced the same kind of tendencies on a thin nut yourself? . And Important note is I'm *NOT going with a floyd rose, instead a gotoh 510 bridge* SO basically I'm stumped there and not sure what nut width to settle for. Even on the opposite end of this, going *TOO large width wise* so higher than *43mm* will likely feel way too wide I don't want playing between strings to feel like a massive "leap" either . Anyways, with all that in mind my guess is it's safe to lean towards a *standard thin shape neck + 1 11/16 nut* it sounds like the safest recipe so far and for that area I'm really OK with "vanilla"/safe nut width and neck combo since if that one aspect is off, we can surely both agree that it can drastically compromise the feel of a good neck! . I'm very interested to hear if you agree or what your advice would be for a newbie first time builder like myself. I cant tell over video but something tells me we might have similar size hands! . Apologies for the novel and I hope to hear back from ya whenever you get the chance! Cheers from Niagara falls Canada and please stay safe and healthy during this time🙏🤟😊 - Adam

[@alexzaytsevguitar]

Hi, nice one! What is the final weight of the guitar?

[@1969MARKETING]

what did you think of this guitar vs all the other name brand guitars you have? without being biased if that's possible :)

[@frantisca]

Hi Sam: awesome axe ! Congrats & enjoy :) The radius is rather a 10" from the marking on the neck heel ?

[@allentroxel9719]

Nice

[@kxmrock]

Price of Kit total ?

[@24avenged24]

I'm 99% sure I saw you playing this in WWRY, is the white one a Warmoth too?

[@sheldonshogrin6736]

I only have Original Floyds from the 80s...literally from the 80s, and have never had to change a string clamp block because of failure or "wearing out". If you tighten the clamp properly, and not over torque, there shouldn't be any "wear". Granted, I have never had a "1000" series, so not familiar with them, but at less than half the price of an "Original" Floyd, and knowing what I know about the construction and materials, not a surprise the saddle parts are crap and wear out. I would also guess that the pivot edges wear quick on the 1000s, instead of the hardened tool steel plate used on Originals. With all the money you spent on the extra parts and the Floyd Rose itself, you could have just ordered what you wanted, for less, from Floyd Rose...hell, if you have $1k to spend, buy the all titanium Floyd and get insane sustain, brightness, and articulation out of a floating vibrato!

[@Slears]

"..the things the go into the body" lol

[@kennyh5083]

What are ya playing thru Homie?

[@eagleeggs3862]

whats the total cost of this guitar?

[@mikes2111]

Dude

[@bryancoey9511]

Sam, what do you think of Warmouth guitars? Considering them but wonder how they stack up against a Fender Tely or Strat?

[@frantisca]

I have a Warmoth Thinline assembly (with splittable SDuncans). Better than any current production Fender, rivaling with CS for a fraction of the price... My 2 ¢

[@kingsammyc]

Bryan Coey I love doing warmoth builds because what I want often isn’t offered by the big companies! You can get the exact specs you like for incredible value with warmoth

[@bryancoey9511]

Sam Coulson exactly what I was wondering. All in, with what your luthier charges is it less than a custom shop from Fender?

[@kingsammyc]

Bryan Coey all in all around 3k

[@CrowaX]

I almost shit my pants

[@eweegeewa]

Whats Steve charge for doing that

[@James-jj2hg]

Don't understand why you're calling that a soloist body. If you're referring to the Jackson soloist that is not the body it has a neck through design

[@rizzinthebox7124]

BADASS -/,,/

[@williamdon3442]

$$$????

[@BloodBoughtMinistries]

more a dinky build, as soloist are neck through guitars.

[@ralex3697]

Boring
