    No, Gazpacho is best served cold.

    Speaking of live music name your top 3 concert experiences.

    I have seen a ton of shows -- but I always come back to the small room experience.  The best three shows -- all of them in Minneapolis at First Avenue (yes, the place where Purple Rain was filmed): 1.  Sugar -- if you don't know who they are, look them up.  (OK, it was Bob Mould from Husker...

    Bill and Becky Lawrence

    Interesting thread -- someone has their panties in a bind. Be patient with Bill and Becky -- I order some new pups from them about a year ago, and I waited and waited.  But they are true to their word and sent them out and I love them.

    Little hole in body?

    I am sure that it is for the CNC.  My Variax body has the hole under the bridge (they are genius!).

    Blue Warhead

    I like it.  You can't much more blue than this.

    It's here!

    Nice! Have you decided how you are going to wire it?  Are you going to wire the three pickups like a Strat, or like a Tele plus 1 pickup?  (I am trying to decide how to wire my tele).

    Someone, please, make Jerry proud with this one!

    I thought that this thread was for Jerry -- Jerry Lewis (keeping in the theme of the recent holiday).

    paintin question

    If you want to pain graphics on the guitar, buy a unpainted alder guitar (you don't have to fill the grain on alder), prime it and paint it.  If you prep the surface you can paint it with any decent spray paint. I would watch the deals page (http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/showcase_deals.cfm)...

    Custom neckplate

    Here is an idea that I have not seen yet -- how about the turtle head with the cross bones?  When I just received my new body I first saw the note that Warmoth put a printed note on top of the body (full with warnings). It was the second best thing that I saw (the first being the actual body --...

    About how long...

    Did you ask the experts?  I always ask Warmoth, and they have been very accurate.  11 weeks for a custom body and paint.  A little over a week for a showcase neck (no paint - Indian Rosewood).

    Biggest building pain in the butt?

    I read through posts on this site before I set my ferrules -- and it made it super easy! Take a soldier iron, heat the ferrule (I use about 20 seconds with my 15 watt iron), pick it up with a pliers, put it in the whole and push it in (I used an allen wrench that is the same size as the...

    Headed to the Showcase - Back Color?

    Greg,  do you know how they stained the two colors without bleeding into the clear? Do you seal the clear, and then stain the blue and red? Thanks!

    STOLEN!! UPDATE! Insurance money on its way.

    We put a little tag in our dog in case she was ever lost -- Warmoth could start putting those tags into guitars!  They are real tiny, so they could be stuck almost anywhere.  You could even make a few bucks off of us (the vets do)....

    The Meaning Of Life..

    You will have plenty of time when you are old and gray to think back and worry about the meaning of life.  Live it to the fullest while you are young and can. Live by the golden rule (do onto others as you would have them do onto you), and everything else will fall in place with a little work...

    Tele neck pup question

    Yes, you can mount the pickup directly to the body with the springs behind the pickup.  I did it on my Warmoth tele, and I like it....
