2nd Build Transparent Yellow 3PU Swamp Ash V with Pau Ferro Neck

[Knarz]

A few days before the Warmoth Sale ended I went for my second build.

Here are the Just out of the box pics.

Warmoth knows how to pack that is for sure.  I used to ship gear all around the world and know how bad all the shippers can be on this stuff.

I bet you they ship to themselves from time to time just to be sure how their packaging holds up.

And now for the real deal.  I just laid some of the parts out to see how it's going to look.

Can't wait to wire it up.  Wow those P90's are heavy.

 

[Mor Paul]

I approve.

 

[CrackedPepper]

Cool!  :headbang: :headbang:

 

[D-rock]

sweet build!

 

[Death by Uberschall]

Nice.  :icon_thumright:

P-Rails would have been a good option for the middle/neck positions.

 

[JaySwear]

thats one hell of an HSS set up  :icon_thumright:  badass.

Hey Knarz,
She looks great  :headbang1:
I am happy that Valentina could inspire you...

How are ya liking those P-90's? 
I am putting some P-90's in my current firebird build and I can't wait to try them out.
Let's hear a review when you get them settled in...
:kewlpics: :rock-on:

I also approve of the pickup combo, but the guitar itself is simply awesome!!! Will those p-90's cancel eachothers hum when combined?

Mighty sweet!

I say this about every fixed bridge, but I would have gone with a wraparound. I say this about every Gibson body shape, but I sure wish they would make it in a 7-string!
