Alpine White, Black Binding, Sexy neck

[Updown]

There was a bloke named 'Updown'  :icon_biggrin:  striking from a hidden base, in a far far away Galaxy (Sydney, Australia)

He discovers that in another Galaxy far far farther away in (Puyallup, USA) a unique place called Warmoth.

Searching their web site though the blinding bright sky. Many many moons ago ...

I come across a simply stunning showcase neck.

I placed an urgent order, Graph Tech Nut, SS Frets, Sperzel tuner ream and gets it shipped out.

Some light years later (2 weeks) I place another order, this time it's a custom built strat body with binding.
During the battle (had to be re-built) …
Rebel spies managed to 'steal secret plans' to the Empire's ultimate weapon .....… the Guitar  arty07:

Finally shipped out ...

And it was quickly pursued by the Empire's sinister agents …. (Customs Agents)  :evil4:

I raced home aboard the starship, to receive my Warmoth package with a custom built body in it.
To my complete surprise, was that it also contained the 'stolen secret plans' that can save the people and restore freedom to the galaxy...  :toothy12:

Thanks very much to all at Warmoth.  :hello2:
Plus all those here that have commented thus far.  :icon_thumright:

I named it after some earlier comments, made by those here, just after I got it.
Was going to be called 'Pure Sex' because that's what it is.  :laughing7:
But ended up with … well … a 'Stormtrooper' neck plate. Many thanks to Doug for that too.  :headbang:

I like it.
Exotic necks on solid finished bodies are the classic recipe for cool guitars.

The Force is strong with this one!  :guitarplayer2:

Off topic. Your yard (garden?) grass has an interesting texture. Ours doesn't look like that in Indiana.

 

[swarfrat]

Very nice!

:laughing7:  :laughing3:

That's because I'm in Australia  :icon_biggrin: .....  and we grow our own  :toothy12:

It's called Buffalo Lawn.

Hey Murray, we need a family photo, you got to have quite a few kids by now, I know I've made at least 6 or 7 neck plates... :icon_biggrin:

 

[sduck]

That is indeed a thing of beauty! And well photographed, I might add.

 

[Updown]

Thank you all for your kind comments  :icon_thumright:

Thanks, yeah I take heaps of pic's of all my guitar builds.
I am certainly NO camera / photo expert.
Just using my 1st & only Digital camera, Panasonic FH20 Lumix, 14.1 megapixels, 2.7'' LCD
Then transfer pic's into iPhoto on my iMac then into photobucket.

I have never touched up or done any tweaking adjustments or any of that crap to my pic's.

Yeah Doug ... I lost count too  :doh:  I better go and check  :tard:


Back
Ummmmm .................. it's 9 Warmoths completed  :icon_biggrin:
But ... only 8 left in action.
The V has been, well.... I took out the Pups and will one day (when I get around to it) sell the Body & Neck.
The SD Dimebucker with the Triple shot from that V is on this Alpine White Strat.
Got 2 Bodies & 2 Necks here and a couple Warmoth Necks on a Mex RR Strat & a Japan Aerodyne Strat.

Yep will try and fit them into a family portrait .... 
I need to add the ones I've done into the Warmoth Customer Gallery too. (when I work that out)

May-be that's enough things to do to keep me busy and away from the 'Showcase' for a while  :laughing7:

 

[deajo]

that is nice...clean...now i want a white guitar

Can someone please direct me to the thread for posting a 'Family Guitar Pic' ?

I can't find it  :doh:  But I know there is one somewhere here.

I took some pic's  :icon_biggrin:

Thanks ...

Wow Updown... this is a crazy-awesome guitar. I have to admit that I've always hated white guitars, but yours has completely changed my mind. I love it! Every detail is perfect. Very well done! :hello2:

And DangerousR6, that neckplate is freakin' suh-weet!  :icon_thumright:

 

[llmtelecaster]

Not my flavor, but I totally dig the theme and enthusiasm that went into this build.

Thanks and I totally know what you mean  :icon_biggrin:
If we all did or liked the same thing it would just get very very boring.

It is what Warmoth is all about  :headbang:
