henry norton Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I thought I'd better post this on the Guitars section as it's not a build and it's not particularly technical. Allot of players on here have put together basses using Warmoth necks and/or bodies. The question is, their parts are actually quite expensive when you take finishes, shipping, tax etc. into account and yet so many players will pay the extra over generic far Eastern Allparts/Ebay type parts. Is there really nobody else in the UK or Europe tooled up or willing enough to make decent parts filling the gap between cheap far Eastern sweat shops and expensive Western Luthiers?

What I mean is new, good quality standardised parts with customisable options like binding, inlays, choice of finish etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
