I'm planning a Warmoth build for a friend who likes the look of the Diamondback shape but is wondering if it will feel much different from his SG, in terms of weight, balance, and how the guitar rests against your body. He would be doing both standing up at gigs and sitting down as a guitar...

What's up Warmothians - I just came back to check out this build, not to enter the contest (as much as I'd love to own a Great Ape masterpiece, I've already lost count of my [finished & unfinished] guitars and run out of space to keep them)  :icon_biggrin: Awesome idea to make a contest around...

thanks guys - I will take more pics today if it doesn't rain today. In the meantime, I'm trying to decide where to put the strap button on that pointy upper cutaway  :icon_scratch:

You mean like a Warhead neck? I still might do that, and have it as an alternate neck to this one, but with a rosewood board.

Finally done! And thanks to Tonar for making this crazy dream a reality :) I'll take more photos soon edit: And I settled on having a 3-way toggle - the 6-way switch would have been overkill

Thanks - it looks sweet with all the parts finally together and I can't wait to see it strung up and play it. After all the time it took to rout the body, have it painted, and shape the pickguard, I decided not to add the blade switch because the rout wasn't deep enough and I didn't want to...

I just dropped off my guitar for wiring and setup - should have some pics of the finished product by the weekend. On a side note, I accidentally stumbled on a relicing technique while finishing this project. I was trying to blow off the dust with a can of dust spray and some of the liquid C02...

Thanks Pete. I looked through the comments too but only made it through one page :laughing11:

In this video, Phil X is playing a green guitar with a Bigsby style bridge (seen at 1:32). Anyone know what it is? I want one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAr7Tt_mLl8

Sorry this project has been delayed since my last post - updates coming soon.

Both my frets and strings are made of adamantium, so I've never changed strings in 25 years of playing guitar.

Project updates (photos coming soon) Got the tuner bushings in - one of them got a little dented from using the C-clamp but it shouldn't be too noticeable in the end. I realized that I had to make the holes slightly bigger and I found a video where the guy used a wood reamer. They didn't have...

This is my favorite so far of your guitar designs. But it's been almost a couple of weeks since the last update - does the buck stop here?

I sent in my entry last Thursday
