Buying Bodies from NON Warmoth Suppliers.

[mayfly]

Why would you pay $500 on that? There are a couple of unfinished mahogany Iceman bodies in the Showcase for $230.  You should be able to replicate that nasty looking Pollockeque finish yourself for way under a $100. I wouldn't trust that neck pocket for shiteeeeee from the looks of it.....

Or Mayfly might want to tell you who the guy is who is doing that bright blue TeleBender for him & see if they are interested.

shhhhhhhhh!!!!!


it's Tonar

Because I'm left handed, I like Ibanez Neck joints and I hate TOM tailpieces.

Seriously dude... I whine about this stuff in more than half my posts! XD!

I can get a totally undrilled neck pocket. and shape it down to an AANJ, then get an Undrilled neck and shape it to match.

but then I gotta go find someone to paint it. if I want it to look like its got a factory finish.

I checked the prices on an unfinished neck/Body Combo from warmoth. its about 700 US.

then I gotta have someone tummy cut it, AANJ the neck, threaded insert the AANJ, then paint it.

And thats a lot of skill and money I have to trust someone to have.

not to Mention that I Don't have a lot of spending money, and at that point I still would not have a finished guitar.

I don't want to drop 400 on a Warmoth neck only to have it be screwed up. these guys have some small Rep. which is better than none.

In the end I'm simply trying to get a Left handed guitar thats actually something I want to play, that I can also stand to look at.

So many black strats...Sooooo many....

*shudders*

OK, sorry I missed the part in your OP where you mentioned "lefty" & your pix are of right handed guitar bodies. That does limit you a fair bit and make the search that bit harder. Fair comment about sooooo many Black Strats.
