=The Warwick Thumb Club=

Got most of the white stain off the pickup covers. Guess what I used for this!

00's weren't the best age for Warwick with all the Polish builders leaving and starting their own companies (Mayones/Mensinger and Maruszyczk) (Maryszcczk are built by Mensinger)
I do think this is done because of complaints about not being able to fit all ball ends in, especially with B strings.

Wait - are you saying that the people behind Mayones and Mensinger used to work for Warwick?

Yes, that's what I've been told a while ago by a Polish guy I know who used to be a roadie for King Crimson etc.
He told me about all the other Polish builders he knows (so mensinger etc, but also Nexus in Belgium).

I don't recall exactly, but I think the guy who started Mayones(i think) used to make all the custom shop models for Warwick back in the day before starting out on his own.
I can shoot him a message and ask again if you want.

I'm very curious to know, so if it is no problem for you, then please do :)
 
Is this the original Thumb gigbag from 1990? I like it. It seems so tiny but fits like a glove.

It needs more waxing. This will take time.
And I had to jam the B string into the tailpiece using pliers. It is too narrow.
