    Kill switch?

    Did you ever get one installed? That one you posted is latching…I would think you’d want momentary.

    720 mod, shimming a neck with floyd rose

    Hey krystalfire- Did you end up ordered a body? Seems like the guy up there had good success with both the 720 and angled pocket. FWIW, I ordered a body with a recessed Floyd, and regret not getting the 720.

    “Flamed” top Strat body

    Thanks, I am new to ordering from Warmoth, but this was helpful to me too. I had looked at threads in various forums about standard flame tops, and seemed to see folks generally reported getting nice tops. I now see the light (or darkness, maybe)! Time change, everything is somewhat mucked up...

    “Flamed” top Strat body

    Left field comparison...not analogous at all. With a PRS you know what you’re getting up front...and, you can bank on decent resale value. We can go on and on with this.  :icon_biggrin: Can’t speak for the other guy (I think his will finish darn nice), but this is a fun project for me...I have...

    “Flamed” top Strat body

    Unique choices I got were minimum $195. That’s a 66% up charge beyond the body. Pretty stout in the minds of some.

    “Flamed” top Strat body

    Ha! It worked! Must have been some forum mojo. Well, back to the body. There is some flame at different angles...might start the tru-oil process this evening, and will follow up.

    “Flamed” top Strat body

    So I’ve wanted to do a charvel pro mod type build, and a while back picked up a nice used lightly figured USACG neck with a lock nut route, and planned to order a Warmoth body. Wanted alder with a flamed top...and most comments I’ve seen indicate that the standard flames maple caps are...

    Tru-Oil on a Roasted Maple Neck

    Got a semi-off topic question... Just got a alder/maple cap body I plan to finish with tru-oil. Based on the comments above, is it advisable to also finish inside the pickup cavities? And for that matter, the control cavity?
