    Next Up....Flamed Black Korina Hardtail strat

    a Macassar Ebony board might look kick ass with that Korina if you want oodles of brightness; for looks, I'd only use macassar with a natural clear gloss finish on that korina...if you go with an amber tint, I'd stick with gabon ebony (pure black), I also tend to think all black hardware wood...

    EXCALIBUR UNSHEATHED! (Wenge neck with Brazilian Rosewood board)

    Tease!  Don't do that to the addicted, we expect pictures, not just the idle fluff of fantasy!

    Misc suggestions....

    I agree here, I've been bummed out by too many top routed bodies in the showcase, and passed on at least 3 due to that...I'd never do a pickguard on anything but the most subtle natural top, or solid color....just not my thing at all.

    Expansion!

    I agree to some points, but I think expansion would be only useful if it supported customer demand for options/products.  Expansion for its own sake is self-defeating.  I don't mind at all to wait for 2 or 3 months when I place an order for something like this and so I expect to get the neck...

    Ping Floyd Roses

    I got my Ping from axcessories too, but he doesn't carry one in gold, which blows, so I had to pay more for an OFR to match my hardware.  I don't think I'll do gold hardware again, it's overpriced.

    You may be a Warmoth addict if.....

    guilty as charged on too many of these counts to admit -- but you know you're truly guilty when you can rationalize different wood combinations for tonal variation and you start arranging songs around the concept of a guitar you haven't built yet, all while working on your demo in a home...

    installing new neck & bridge screws

    if I already have my neck bolts installed, should I even bother with undoing them to wax them and then reinstall?  if lubrication is the only issue, I'd just as soon leave them the way they are, they feel good and tight while not being over-torqued...I used a good hand driver properly sized for...

    Ping Floyd Roses

    I just ordered a ping floyd in black, cost me $150, and I'm anxious to get this new Wild Maple soloist done, it's gonna be hot as hell....I've used Schaller floyds for years, have one on my conklin, but it's hard to get good pinched harmonics out of it, hope the Ping is better

    Archtop Hollow Soloist plz !

    yes, I want it all.  I have always favored the archtop look, with the soloist features and dimensions but would love to have one chambered for tonal variation from my other 2 warmoths

    Rounded Neck Heel Joint

          My only qualm with warmoth is an utter lack of "no's" I get when asking for some fairly typical, albeit modern, body options.  I have small hands, and thus, my finger length is fairly short which is ok for keyboards and advantageous for upper register fretting but even with the contoured...
