      The body on this guitar is from my first complete Warmoth build.  I have since changed it a ton (as you can tell by the mish mash of colors).  It isn't easy on the eyes anymore, but it sounds and plays great.

Body

Chambered Mahogany with Alder Top in Black Gloss
Bladerunner SuperVee Tremolo
Bridge: Gibson 498T
Middle: DiMarzio Area 67
Neck:  Dimarzio HS-3

Neck

Maple on Maple 10-16" Standard Thin with SS6105 frets
LSR Roller Nut
Sprezel Locking Tuners

Nonsense! Slap a coat of black on the headstock and it'll all come together. You did a great job on the body, a few more minutes, well, maybe hours...days or so and it'll really be dressed to kill!
 
Cool guitar.
Get rid of that weak, muddy sounding HS-3 and stick a Dimarzio "Injector" in there.

I agree with the suggestion for making the headstock black.
 
    I'll get around to painting the headstock one of these years.  I also want to put in a black pickguard since I think tortoise shell looks terrible with a light fretboard.  This guitar used to have a wenge neck with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard.
