Congratulations Tjerk! A fantastic instrument.

Also worth noting that the value of the AUD at the moment is pretty poor, so you're paying a 30% premium on a warmoth that you wouldnt have paid 18 months ago. Whereas shops are still carrying stock they bought a while ago, and have to keep it relative to the AUD RRP. I'd be going for branded...

Depends whether you want your hardware to be a feature or to be less flashy. I myself prefer understated hardware where possible, so went with black. Also, whilst your top looks dark, using a tru-oil type finish shoulds brighten it up a touch.

And also what type of tuners are you planning on using for the non-dtuners?

I used original titebond (red label) for mine - but I also used a manual vacuum bag (roarrockit) Assuming you're in the USA, the manual vacuum bags are only $60 USD. POtentially a worthy investment to get the right outcome...

I like the gaps in the Jackson lettering, and the new angle of the BC!

Probably a bit late to the discussion here, but my 2 cents: - If they want your name/brand on the guitar, then it has to be within the ranges of what you want your brand to be - If they want something different and you feel you can accomodate, but dont want your name on it, then tell them as...

Ive had 2 warmoth orders shipped to melbourne and both came quite quickly. Warmoth send through shipping notification and tracking when they complete your order. All of my stuff has been unfinished, so its come a lot quicker than painted stuff - but unfinished means I take a few months to slap...

Personal taste potentially - but have you thought about trying to slim down the Jackson logo lettering, and fatten up the "BC" just a touch. This way even though the fonts are different, they will seem more uniform?

Mostly the romanticism of the merchandise. If I like a bands music, ill either buy a t-shirt or a record.....i'll never use a CD in the digital age, so i might as well get something more substantial for merchandise.

As an ex GTAV addict - i know how difficult it would have been to pull yourself away. Thanks for putting this together. Ill sig it!

Thanks guys. :)

Submitted my veneer telecaster. Build thread here for anyone interested: http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=24203.0

In my opinion - if you want a paint job done right, and you dont have the patience to get some practice in.....then its probably best to just get Warmoth to finish it. The area where I would advise to DIY is if you want a natural oil finish (Tru-oil, Danish etc). For under $20-30 you can have a...
