Sorry, I didn't have a pool handy so I used the ever-popular brick wall.

This guitar absolutely glows when the light hits it right. It was my first Warmoth build and I could not be happier. There will definitely be more builds in my future. This is the nicest guitar I have ever owned. Thanks to Warmoth and the folks on this forum - without all of you I couldn't have done this. I appreciate all of your help, advice and encouragement.

Only thing missing is that pool.
Get Mr. Gorbachev to tear down that wall and put a pool in there.

Stunning!

Does that qualify as politics?

Anywho, great build.  Excellent first Warmoth outing.

I'll call it historical reference.

Wow, business time indeed. Gotta get your business socks out to play that thing.

There's a few things that Strats and I disagree on (the placement of the first knob & a HB bridge pickup), but if I wanted one it would be just about exactly like that. That bridge and nut - are you a Jeff Beck fan, by any chance? :hello2:

Does your bridge do that? :toothy12:

 

[gtr475]

Very nice! That makes me want to build another one. Warmoth seems to become an addiction for me.

While I like and appreciate Jeff Beck's playing, I'm not a disciple by any means.

Does your bridge do that? :toothy12:

Not when I play it. :toothy12: 

Thanks for all the nice comments. And you KNOW I wear my business socks when I play this thing.

Here's a little update - added the pool:

Not too shabby at 5 years old...
