Hello! I'm new to the forum, and planning out my next Warmoth build so I decided to post my last one.
I put this together in 1989/90 when I was 17 years old.
Body: Maple or Ash (it has been a while)
Neck: Maple with Rosewood fretboard. Reverse headstock (interesting note, there are side markers on the top and bottom)
Paint: I asked a friend of mine who was a talented artist to paint it. He had never used an airbrush before and the only directions I gave him were I like green, the pyramid on the back of a dollar bill, and the guy from the cover of Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy.
Pickups: All Seymour Duncans. Neck: '59 Middle: Hot Stack (originally a Hot Rail but the sound was too redundant with the other pickups so I traded it for a hot stock that gave a bit more of a single coil sound) Bridge: Full Shred
Wiring: Guitar Dan Armstrongs Super Strat Wiring from Player Magazine August 1987 Strat Mania
This guitar was used in high school with the marching, jazz, and concert bands. After graduation, it played many bar gigs, weddings, recordings, teaching, etc. It was my main guitar until around '94 when I started using a Steinberger M Series which was replaced in '99 with a Parker Fly Classic which was my main guitar until I semi-retired from music in '04. The green Warmoth is back to being my main guitar since my son started playing drums a few years ago......... Now I have the itch to build another one!
