Perhaps the two pickups are out of phase with each other? The fix for that would be reversing the hot and ground wires on one of the pickups

Looks great! I would not have thought to put dye on a koa top, but after the sanding and resin it looks really good! Yes, the sticker should come off (y)

Custom ordered from David King/ dknob.com Not cheap, but nicely made and I have a hatred for plastic guitar parts lol

Finally got the knobs and pickup rings! They're really nice looking, but a little lighter toned than the ziricote on my guitar. I think if I wipe them with a bit of mineral oil they'll darken up some.

Looks great!

What is the purpose of the mounting plate?

Wow! Lovely plank of wood ya got there!

You can get a rear route body without a top laminate in most shapes. Diamondback is definitely not the only option. But if you do go with a Diamondback, it's just as deep as the other Warmoth bodies; plenty of room for push/pull pots. You'll want long shaft pots for any Warmoth rear routed body.

Very cool! I think I like it the way it is without pickguard/rings.

"What did you do yesterday?" Oh, you know, set my porch on fire, the usual... 🔥

How many pickguards should I use for maximum toan?

Hmm tough call but I think I vote for leaving it the way it is

It's got tiger energy! 🐅

Roasty toasty!

So the Warmoth vintage tint is not done with a dye; it's a toned/colored lacquer. You could try the Stewmac touchup pens, I think "vintage amber" would probably be closest. Another option would be be to dye/stain the would to a close color match and the put clear over it.
