Nice Build. I took a chance and built up a Warmoth Regal. I was hesitant to have a "bolt-on" Les Paul. I went with a Padouk neck, 25.5" scale and 6100 SS frets. Turns out I really like it - so much I built a second one (with a Wenge neck). I now play them more than my "real" Les Paul's. Surprising.
Cool! I've never installed a 3-way switch, and I'm glad Aaron explained the flat nut and recessed nut. Thank you.
Aaron does such a great job with these videos, not only with his knowledge, but his whole demeanor; definitely an asset for Warmoth! Also, excellent video, I've been building guitars since Warmoth used to mail me actual catalogs with black & white photos in them (!), and I still picked up a couple really useful tips from this tutorial! That's why I also think they should have more such videos; it builds community, and shares knowledge, and we need all of those things we can get! Lastly, Aaron, I LOVE the look of this guitar, but one thing I noticed, might it not actually look a little better with a bone-colored nut...? I understand the theme, but I've been looking at that style neck/headstock with an off-white/ivory colored nut for so many years now it just looks wrong without it; and I think it would still work with the color scheme, especially if it were a particularly aged-looking bone, or Tusq, or Delrin, or whatever... Anyway, love these guitars, and love this video series, seriously, I think most of us would really like to lots more of these 'build-it' videos hosted by Aaron!
I really like how it's turning out! Love the black and gold aesthetic! I hope it's not too expensive.💛
Such a good, helpful video. Seriously, Warmoth, Aaron is your secret weapon. Turn him loose and let him do anything he suggests, they’ve all been good stuff. 😊
i'm not normally a fan of gold hardware, but i gotta say, that thing looks so classy. lots of great assembly tips in these vids as well.
This series might be your most inspiring videos yet. Love ‘em!!!
When I build a Strat, I wait till the very end to precisely position the pick guard, even after the set up so that the pickups are aligned properly. Great minds, as they say! ;)
Looking better than I thought it would before it started coming together.
Wow that is one classy singlecut. Hope a vid comes of it all together, and played! Congrats!
This guitar looks epic. I really wish to hear the sound soon.
Pure Tone makes a gold output jack, they are very high quality and come in mono or stereo.
Need to add the gold binding to the options list. Would be cool if you could get a red or purple pearl too.
Great tips. Thanks.
It's looking great!
I’m still happy with my build, but Aaron didn’t start filming assembly videos much until literally a month after my first build. I’m watching just thinking how helpful it would have been.
good advice. thanks
Done the jack won't fit installation before. Good tip
Aaron, I know you’ve been doing this for many years, but does it still feel like Christmas every time you assemble a guitar, getting to open and install all of the parts and goodies? I know it does for me. 😂
