I finally finished my Warmouth L5 S project, affectionately named the Howler. This was intended as a project to practice applying stain and finish to a guitar. I learned so much from doing this guitar, can't wait for my next project! I mixed brown and amber dye to get a dark-ish brown color, which was the basecoat. I sanded and sanded and almost painted the whole damn thing as a Goldtop, but finally was able to apply the amber dye to get a nice contrast. There are some splotces, never said I was perfect (especially for a first try). Overall, I like it. It weighs 6lbs 7oz, has a TonePro's ToM setup, TonePro's/Kluson tuners and WCR Black Magic pickups. The pots and caps are from RS Guitarworks. The guitar body is mahogany with a maple top, neck is mahogany with an ebony fretboard. I'm still dialing in the neck and action, but preliminary indications are it will sound just fine.
