[warcripp]

just picked up this off ebay for a new project. I have to rout the neck for a humbucker. going to do HH config.

going with a Warmoth neck. I am still undecided on maple or rosewood fretboard. Probably Rosewood.
here's to my first build!

Sweet. Looking forward to it coming together.

pickguard assembly



waiting on a screw and springs for the height adjustment , but just wanted to see it together. I havent decided on what knobs to put on there, more than likely the round chrome ones.

Excellent - how does it play?

 

[reluctant-builder]

Looks great! Let's hear it!

 

[warcripp]

she plays beautiful! a nice 12.5" radius vintage satin tint. LOVE IT!!!! I just put a waterslide decal on yesterday.

 

[warcripp]

Oh... yeah, all for less than $300.00

Beautiful!  What kind of pickups is she sporting?

 

[warcripp]

bridge pickup = 16k
neck pickup= 11k
took them out of a dean I had a while back.

 

[jrybicki]

looks pretty hip, some more black n white theme?  black graphtech saddles?  but they are $54 at guitar center.

 

[warcripp]

thats more that the bridge costs.

 

[warcripp]

all logo'd up!

Cool. I still need to throw the decal on mine. It's going to take some creative cutting and positioning to make it look good on a lefty headstock.
