Anyone know if Warmoth will route for a 7 string hipshot trem?

Hand_of_Nog · 06-21-2006, 08:51 PM

I've been looking to build a Warmoth 7 string with piezo, instead of just buying a Petrucci EBMM, but I have some issues. I already e-mailed Hipshot and they said their trem would accomodate Graph Tech saddles, and that they'd even drill the holes in the bridge for me, but according to Warmoth's site, it seems they'll only route the bridge for a hardtail or a floyd.

Anyone here know if they'll route it for a Hipshot 7 string trem if I give them a call or an e-mail, without their charging it as a custom job?

They should be able to. I couldn't tell you if there would be an upcharge for it, though. I worked there for a bit and we did a lot of things that aren't mentioned on the Warmoth site.

Much appreciated =)

if they can't i bet you could get it not routed for a trem at all, then have a competent luthier do it...

I would think they could do it. Anything I asked them to do, they were able to do. BUT there was a charge for EVERYTHING

They wouldn't build me a 25.5" neck, though...

Warmoth seemed pretty receptive to anyone willing to buy their stuff. I asked for a flat top Warlock and they said ok, add $50. Add $50 to take off the bevels? Then I realized their Warlock looks like it has a load in it's pants...ewww.
