Unique Choice Lam Tops for Guitar
Warmoth's Unique Choice section allows you to browse our stock of premium lam tops and choose the exact piece of wood Warmoth will use when building your new guitar body. No guesswork or blind purchases. You'll know exactly what you're getting from the start.
How to Purchase
To purchase, just add the Unique Choice lam top you want to your cart. (Be sure to follow the sizing information below.) Then use the custom builders to spec out the body you want it used on, and choose "Unique Choice" as the Lam Top of your body. Once we receive the order for your custom part we will use your corresponding Unique Choice item in its construction.
- Unique Choice blanks are not sold seperately. To order one you must also order a corresponding body or neck using our custom builders. If you purchase one without a corresponding neck or body your order will be voided.
- If you add more than one Unique Choice item to an order, please use the order notes to specify which UC item goes with wich body or neck.
- Unique Choice items are non-cancellable, non-returnable, and non-refundable.

- UC lam tops are positioned on the body at Warmoth’s discretion. We strive for the best balance of beauty and stability, but we cannot guarantee exact placement of the figuring.
- If you choose a Universal Size UC blank and a regular size guitar body you can expect that much of the figuring around the edges of the blank will be lost when it is positioned on the body.
- When ordering the body in the custom builders, remember that Dye, Burst, and Transparent Finishes are only available on Maple UC tops. All other woods require a Clear finish.
