Maybe you like this http://www.eldoradostraps.com/products3.htm I have order it and waiting it.Gregg Stewart said:willyk said:Your Australian brothers have Emus and Crocodiles plus a good assortment of very interesting snakes.:laughing7: :laughing7:
Cool! Can you go hit something with your car and send it to me? :laughing7:
You made a beautiful guitar, the top looks wild as the grain patterns on the fretboard.
I'd like to ask you what tune-o-matic you used. I was reading about the Gotoh on the Warmoth site: "A neck pocket angle of 1-1/2 to 3 degrees is necessary for proper operation.We can rout the correct angle in the neck pocket for just $10.00." This pocket angle is necessary only for the Gotoh tune-o-matic or every tune-o-matic that will be used in a LP body? Also, those tortoise back plates you used are made by Warmoth?

Thanks for the strap info!
The bridge is just our standard Gotoh Tune-o-matic. The angle in the neck pocket is a standard freature on all carved tops for that style of a bridge from any maker.
Yes, the Tortoise plates are from Warmoth.
Glad you like it!
Well,
1. I don't want to build an LP style guitar with Warmoth parts. I would actually like to buy an Ebony Les Paul Standard.
2. I don't like gold hardware, but it totally works on your guitar with the Bengal Burst and with that inlay.
3. I hate covered pickups, but again, those Rio Grandes look awesome on your axe.
It's just personal taste. But, that's the beauty of Warmoth!
All the guitars I want to build are fairly "traditional" in appearance or they are homages to guitars I always admired or wanted. My list looks something like this:
1. Sonic Blue Hard Tail Strat
2. Shell Pink "Vintage" Strat (tinted fingerboard, vintage trem, mint pickguard, etc.)
3. Spectra Blue Esquire
4. Candy Blue Charvel-style 1-pickup w/Floyd
5. Sparkle Blue Charvel-style 2-pickup w/Floyd a'la Steve Vai's in Crossroads
6. My version of a Green Meanie
7. My version of a Valley-Arts era Steve Lukather guitar (Trans blue or blueburst over quilted maple top - a couple of Showcase pieces fit the bill)
They are all dreams right now but, you get my point.

that is about the most outstanding finger board. EVER!
too bad they ruined it with those gold inlays, it shouldn't have inlays, nothing can match that wood. i don't know why anyone would cover it up with those huge trap inlays.
the finnish is also sweet. but there is a little too much bling between the finnish all the gold and the pickups. ok, i'm just really jelous. i wish i could afford a brazillian neck.

is it unusual to find brazilian boards with the grain all wavy like that?
