I think you have to call in and ask, but know that "extra light" really is a relative term so if you're ordering a custom build, there's a chance it might not be as light as you expect. Reasons why it might not be a regular on menu option: Relative term Warmoth has to have "extra light" wood...

I agree that the black outline looks amazing on a light wood. That's definitely what I would do too!

Oh wow! Thanks @aarontunes for the Primo Build on this one. I definitely didn't expect that!

Welcome! Nice to see the turtles getting traction! I don't think I would cover up that grain, but that's just my two cents.

That Meadowhawk though! :love:

Not super great lighting this morning because it's so dark and overcast, but I snapped some photos of the completed build. Body: Black Korina Top: Metallic Surf Green Back: Clear Ivroid binding Neck: Roasted Flame Maple Fretboard: Macassar Ebony Inlays: Mother of Pearloid Turtles Profile...

Spud is correct. I got the saddles are from Amazon. The knobs and switch tip are from Reverb. I'll take some photos of the final assembly tomorrow which will also have a brass neck plate and string ferrules, both from Reverb. I have several guitars with the raw brass saddles which, if you do...

Preliminary assembly... I still need to attach the name badge when I receive it in the next week or two. I'll round out the fretboard edges and dress the fret ends in early March when it's the driest weather of the year here and then she'll be done!

Roughly 20 coats of Tru Oil after polishing. It's not 100% perfectly smooth, but at least 95%. It definitely passes the casual eyeball test and my best attempts at finishing to date...
