Well, my parts arrived this morning, and I'm pretty happy! I orignally wanted a flame koa top for this build, so when I found out Warmoth can't offer them currently due to a lack of wood, I nearly went for a natural flame maple top. In the end, I stuck with the koa, but I was expecting it to look fairly plain. WRONG! Imagine how pleased I was when I open the box to find this:
Spec
Body: Soloist carved top, mahogany/koa, contoured heel
Neck: Warmoth Pro, birdseye maple/ebony, compound radius, standard thin contour, SS frets
Hardware: Wilkinson trem, 2 x Bareknuckle Warpig pickups, Sperzel locking tuners, 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch
Should be finished in a week to 10 days, so I'll post pics when it's done. This is my first Warmoth project, and I'm really pleased with the quality, especially the finishing. I had to wait about two weeks longer than quoted for this order, but I really don't mind at all when it's this nice!
Cheers, Si
