Thread: warmoth _or_ local dealer?

i sprayed i warmoth bass body for a friend. good quality wood. im pretty sure he got it pretty quick. came up good even though he wanted pink lol

was postage reasonable?

that site has everything i want.....wonder how much postage will be

wont be getting and blanks etc

but will be getting a fret board (if they only sell that) and a truss rod which might make the parcel 'big' which might raise the freight

Well the answer to this question it all depends what you are looking to buy, if it is body blanks for electric or acoustic guitars there is me of course link above this forum Tasmaniantonewoods, and there is other tone wood suppliers in Australia do a google search.
If you are after cheap woods try bunnings Etc as I am not cheap but I do supply some of the best blackwood there is plus high figured myrtle, plus burl Etc.
Regards,Bob

Well there we go, if you are after truss rod, fret board try Perry Ormsby member of this forum.

Sounds like a nice build Warren, I note Andy and floody are both logged in.
Come on guys tell him where you would go to buy the gear he requires if you ask Andy nice he will give you all the gear.
Cheers,Bob

thanks bob

i am a massive Dime fan...(hence the avatar with the dime beard )

thought it would be a fun guitar to have to play the pantera licks yyeeww!!

Try Perry Ormsby, then try Guitar Woods in Sydney, or Electric Guitar Parts Electroincs form Jaycar....

If you are not confident slotting your first fretboard it makes sense to buy one preslotted, but its not that hard.

I've got parts from Warmoth before.

I found that they are a bit cheaper than Stewmac but the postage is a little dearer and it took about 4 weeks to arrive.

If you email them they will give you a quote for the postage.I was after a couple of PU's and they quoted me $30.00 US + Handling .

If you have a look over there site,I think they have something about international charges?

Good luck

Greg

So the Avatar is not you.? and there I was thinking you were God looking young.

thanks Greg!

Sebastiaan56 gave me the link of Guitar Woods which is in AUS so i might get my fretboard and truss rod from that dude then get the smaller/lighter weight yet less expensive that buying in AUS products from warmoth if i cant locate them here in AUS

@Sebastiaan56 ill def get the smaller electric goods from jaycar, just thought i would list what i needed

did a little spread sheet comparing: warmoth // ormsby // luthierssupplies

** warmoth: $356.78 (note: this is the current exchange rate)

** ormsby: $474

** lutheirsupplies: $339.65

none of them include postage.

that was a price for the same gear, each shop had stuff that the others didnt....but all in all i found that lutheirsupplies

so i will be placing an order with them

just thought people would be interested.

bought my mahogany and its busy gluing up as i type this, excitement grows, not for my guitar project, BUT my first work log YYEEWW

Freighting from US will kill you...they dont do sea freight anymore.
