You should also wear a face dust mask as wenge dust is toxic to the lungs. I got a dark wenge neck from Warmoth that’s burnished to almost glass like feel it’s definitely worth the effort if you take a few precautions.

Wow nice catch! Yes the neck was a lefty on the Warmoth showcase for a great screamin’ deal so I asked them to send a right hand cut earvana nut along with it and I swapped them out when I got it. I used a fine tip silver paint pen to put side dots on the side where I see em.

It’s great but I usually use a strap while sitting anyway

Here’s one for inspiration

Maybe a cosmo black Floyd Rose rail tail and 3 dimarzio single coil sized humbuckers with a black sparkle pickguard....

I snagged one of the feastie boys purple Strats - if that color was a permanent offering Warmoth would get even more of my money than they already do haha

Looks amazing - the dinkycaster never really did it for me but this changes everything. Any chance Warmoth would make this a standard offering? My first concert was Iron Maiden 1983 🤘🏻

I semi glossed up a whole new satin Warmoth neck with stewmac polishing compound and the polishing pads they sell that mount on a drill. It didn’t make it look like a glassy mirror finish but close enough

I’ve posted my method before in other threads: Post in thread 'Let’s talk about direct mounting guitar pickups!' https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-direct-mounting-guitar-pickups.40293/post-514015

I love obnoxious colors as well. Here's a Rocket Red Charvel, which is an orange neon bright enough to guide airplanes in for landings.

I agree 100%. I always use reverse control plate on my teles as I use the volume knob way more than the pickup selector

It’s black anodized aluminum

How about both? This was from the limited run Mythical Flake series - Golem Flake - orange flake over cinder red!

This is from Tone Guard. Pricey but he doesn’t seem to make anything anymore. You can find other pretty good aluminum pickguards on ebay reverb etc. I just wish they’d make the rounded humbucker corners like Warmoth does but they are all usually squared off. I think I got the last HH rounded...

Yes! I have a Fender FSR in root beer flake it’s a unique color. - fender also make the Ultra in Texas Tea which is a dark metallic brown
