I love Warmoth stuff, but I think the Fender mint guard with fender aged white or cream plastics looks best to me. That might be because of how often I’ve seen them.

I thought they are like the EMG SAs with the mid boost option replacing the SPC.

Both of these are amazing

Just a place to go to get depressed!

I’d do mahogany with ebony board and koa headstock veneer. Match the back finish for the neck (clear, vintage tint, etc) and match the headstock finish to the top (I assume clear).

Here are two examples I’ve found of Tuquoise dye with various hardware. I kind of like the blend of chrome and black. Maybe a chrome bridge with graphtec saddles and black knobs…

I’m a stickler for all the hardware matching, I like being able to get all Gotoh from Warmoth. What nickel suppliers would you check out?

Ugh… I think black might be better.

I’ve got an order pending and I am rethinking my hardware choice. I did all gold am I’m wondering if that was maybe the wrong choice… all hardware will match including the neck pickup cover. However Chome seems to be underwhelming on this body. Here’s the body: Also, for a rear route Tele...

This is great! May need to steal a few ideas!

I had grandiose plans to try them all out with different values but then life happened and I just ran with the small cap alone. I am certain the others are better though!

You need to also learn about the Kinman series treble bleed. ;)

Any exotic the builder only allows clear, but if you call they’ll do black to clear and brown to clear. There have been some awesome looking brown to clear koa tops I’ve seen.

Tahitian Coral is seeming to be having a moment right now. Halfway between Shell Pink and Fiesta Red, I love it, especially with Tort. I wonder if anyone else likes it as much as I do? These are all obviously taken in different lighting conditions but I think the vibe is there…

A classical is 2-1/4”, the super wide is 1-7/8”. However it can be ordered with a very flat radius AND most importantly it will fit on any body with a Fender vintage neck pocket dimension (nearly all fenders and all Warmoth’s) I really like “unified” builds, where the neck and body are clearly...
