Never heard of Claro Walnut? A guitar body with a difference also using roasted ash. Find out why these guitar bodies cost so much, do they change the tone and are they worth the money?

Claro Walnut and roasted Ash make your guitar sing like no other combination. I also review a Gotoh 510 tremolo system in this review and it's brilliant!

The Fender Stratocaster has been made with so many different woods, and while I was looking around I found a guitar body that was created of something very different than what they usually are. But it did look good, and somehow reminded me of some wood I saw when I was very young. The patterning on the top of this Strat body reminded me instantly of woods I had seen way back in time. But the construction of this Strat guitar body intrigued me.
So I bought it and eagerly waited for that body from Warmoth, that they claimed was only one of just 5 in the world and made from roasted ash and with something called a claro walnut top. Now that is really something out of the ordinary and I really wanted to look much closer.
So this video shows the claro walnut and roasted ash body, but also there is a bonus section reviewing a GOTOH 510 T-FE1 tremolo - and that is the highest quality GOTOH make of tremolo units. You may own a Fender Stratocaster, and that GOTOH 510 does fit a standard Strat too so take a good look - you will love it!
I do discuss the ORIGINAL price in this video of the Warmoth claro and roasted ash body, but I also tell you about the cost of the GOTOH 510 tremolo too.
Take a look at this brilliantly made guitar body, and tell me in the text if YOU think its worth that high cost that these cost...
I purposely did NOT score this body here, but prefer to score the guitar build and watch for those as the parts arrive, I can assure you that this specification will be something wonderful.
Warmoth have created on this occasion a very well made guitar body, and don't forget that it is fully and properly licensed by Fender themselves (FMIC) so no issues with copyright stuff. It is fully Stratocaster compatible too so you could fit one to a real Fender guitar as an upgrade!
The neck on this guitar is not yet shown but in part two you will see the really great neck I chose and together these items will make an incredible guitar.

I have spent considerable time creating this video and it remains without sponsor so is a real genuine overview of my findings and a review of the Warmoth Claro Walnut body.
