[@DaemonGtr]

Bravo Aaron, majestic! Really like to hear the sound.

[@El-Scorcho]

Gold Grovers and top hat knobs really would’ve completed the look for me, but it does look cool

[@gkol69]

Or gold speed knobs...

[@bigkahuna100]

Man, I am actually jealous you own that masterpiece!!! That thing looks absolutely stunning.

[@warmoth]

Oh....I don't own it. The minute the assembly and final video was done it was shipped back to the mothership. I was very sad to see it go....

[@jessehutchings]

That is completely SICK bro

[@jessehutchings]

The binding and inlays look fabulous

[@gregoryjacob624]

That’s one beautiful guitar

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Beautiful guitar.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Wil this guitar allso become available as a set neck version?

[@warmoth]

Nope, never.

[@jackp8583]

The guitar is gorgeous, Aaron. As always, the amount of effort you put into these videos is appreciated and always informational while being enjoyable. Nice soundtrack too...)

[@warmoth]

Thanks!

[@lyricbread]

Beautiful build!

[@GuitarIv69]

Awesome build. Looking forward to the sound demo 🤘🏻

[@nellayema2455]

It is a beauty! Can't wait to hear it!

[@kdubatx1]

Enjoyed these videos cheers

[@warmoth]

One more video left.....prepare to experience the TONEZ!

[@jamesonpace726]

Congrats Mr Aron, she's lovely....

[@stevechambers500]

I woulda gone with gold dome knobs because they'd be the same color as the bridge

[@superlead1002]

That came out great! I think you guys are really on to something by creating sets...such a great idea!

[@gkol69]

Awesome! I always liked black LPs, not bursts (I have one Classic). In this case I would prefer it with gold pickup rings and open coil black pickups, to make more contrast, and gold speed knobs. Now, I'm waiting for the TONES!

[@ReVeRbx-fe5wr]

Ready for the demo

[@eddiejr540]

Aaron, making us wait til the next vid to hear that beauty is just….”uncivilized” 🤣

[@anyday82]

man, great work Aaron! It's not easy to build the whole guitar beginning to end while filming. You made it look easy!

[@warmoth]

I feel so SEEN right now. LOL. Thank-you for acknowledging how difficult it is to film and assemble a guitar all by yourself.

[@moxythepirate1281]

You sure know how to tempt me!

[@Ripperx121]

Ya know I have not done my own kit yet. I love a black guitar or car. Problem is the micro scratches you get and have to fix. I love the matte finish that eliminates that issue. Gibson would throw the name on the headstock and charge 4 to 5k for that.

[@Deadite8593]

Can't wait for the next video to see how "versatile" the guitar sounds. (If you know, you know LOL)

[@pharmerdavid1432]

Black and gold, my favorite colors like a Les Paul Custom black beauty! Let's hear it?

[@luislanga]

I wonder how versatile this guitar is going to sound in the next video.

[@nickmizell1141]

Dude thanks

[@thseed7]

🤘

[@piptyson5512]

10/10 😍

[@marcionobrega5117]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@robsheppard5353]

I would love to see a more in-depth video on soldering...

[@warmoth]

I do have one in the schedule!

[@ej64yer]

i tried to get this binding on a strat neck to go with the blocks i got they told me it wouldnt be worth the cost to get the binding starting to regret the neck lowkey i knew it wouldve been so good with that binding....

[@alexblank1140]

AMBER speed knobs might also look good on this guitar! (I'm glad Warmoth went with the name "Black Gold" rather than "Texas Tea." All due respect to the Beverly Hillbillies)

[@allanmakela3011]

Cool axe,as always its Aaron what is he cooking up now,never boring,and he has great tips

[@warmoth]

Thanks 👍

[@Hyperlink1337]

lost the battle for texas tea but not the war for a great axe

[@warmoth]

Remember the Alamo.

[@gizmotis]

​@@warmothwhy not split the difference and call it the Jed or Jethro? or if you're feeling crazy, Granny?

[@mikewayne9110]

Needs some Optima Gold strings. 😊

[@jimmpanik3402]

I always thought it's easier to do the wiring before installing it. Easier to solder and such.

[@warmoth]

I've done that before as well. Pro and cons both ways, so it usually comes down to what I'm in the mood for. LOL.

[@martinclayton7260]

How much would the set cost?

[@curbowman]

The only way to improve that axe is to use Maxima Gold Strings.

[@betterl8thannvr]

When is the kid going to launch? I'm local-ish and have been wanting to build a Warmoth and this thing amazing.

[@warmoth]

Slated for May 15.

[@plutoisaplanet7879]

no gold warmth logo?

[@KainzMusic]

No foil shielding tape? I am shock...

[@DavidPurviance]

Looks good! What is the weight?

[@warmoth]

I didn't weight it before I shipped it back, but I would guess after playing it a bunch that it clocked in at about high 8 or maybe 9lbs.

[@Robstafarian]

Did you seat the neck by backing off each neck screw a bit at a time until the neck makes a horrific noise? Leo Fender put that in the G&L manual, and it has served me well (only with Fender-style neck pockets, just to be safe).

[@warmoth]

But of course! Anything less would be uncivilized.

[@Robstafarian]

@@warmoth 🥂

[@onlyfromadistance7326]

Nice guitar. It would have been beautiful in black gloss finish. The matte finish with gold components doesn't make any sense to me...

[@warmoth]

3 will be available in gloss back, and the other 3 will be available in satin.

[@Tyrannocaster]

Yep.

[@johnplaystheguitar123]

Don't suppose you'd ever sell prebuilt models of these? These are my perfect guitar!

[@warmoth]

Nope. Guitar *parts* is what Warmoth does best, and we have no plans to change that.

[@johnplaystheguitar123]

@@warmoth full respect for sticking to what you do. Guitar building is fun. I shouldn't be lazy 😂

[@enriquekikzdelapazbichain1126]

Came directly to ask... Has Warmoth ever made 35 scale basses? Someone is offering a so called "35" scale Warmoth bass in a forum but as far as i know there is no such thing, am i right?

[@warmoth]

Not that I am aware of, but I suppose it's always possible if it's from the very early days. Ken made some really crazy stuff back then.

[@toothace3]

Sounds like you lost the battle to call it "Texas Tea"

[@warmoth]

Remember the Alamo!

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

NEVER present hardware and electronic parts above your beautiful finished guitar...one drop of a part and bang: a dent in the finish will be the result.

[@warmoth]

My name is Fearless.

[@thebonedss]

Damn that's badass, what's gonna be the price for this kit?
