Many many thanks to all that work at Warmoth ….. Top class, again  :icon_thumright: … Thank you  :hello2:

This will be a beauty  :toothy10:
Cheers Updown  :icon_biggrin:

P.S … Was SURE worth the waiting  :icon_thumright:

Trying to show (in pic's) the squarer edge of using binding on strats

Oh, my! That is a beautiful piece of work. Well spec'd, my friend. When I think of that with that ultimate neck, it almost sends chills down my spine.

You're going to have to keep that next to the bed, with a heavily-loaded short-barrel shotgun handy for defense.

I was planning a Jazz Bass with the same colour scheme, Alpine white with black binding. Looks stunning.

 

[fdesalvo]

Love it.

 

[Cagey]

Hehe! Good one.

 

[riverbluff]

That Black binding makes all the difference!  That will be a stunning guitar.

So pretty you almost hate to drill holes for the straplocks.

 

[ORCRiST]

Love it.

And before someone asks...

THESE are the 'droids you're looking for!

^^I'm gonna raise you a, "I love you, man".  Sweet mercy, I'd like to show them the ways of the force.

 

[Updown]

Thanks all.

So pretty you almost hate to drill holes for the straplocks.

Do drama at all :icon_biggrin:  ....... Your've seen my work with a Dremel Tool  :laughing7:

Forgot to add ..
I ordered wrong size jack hole  :doh: (should've got 1/2'' ) …. No drama !!
I also went with wood mount Hum rout, To see what it looked like with all pups wood mounted.
As that was my intention in the 1st place.
:dontknow: (Don't really like the look without pup rings) …  :icon_scratch:  Looks kind of, unfinished in a way.

So I'll use pickup rings on all Pups. Easily fixed.
Of cause this is having all Black hardware !! ...... what else  :tard:

Pups I had in mind & have here was …. SD Cold & Hot (either neck or middle) & a Dimebucker with a TS-1 Flat Triple Shot attached.

The neck looks bloody tops on this solid plain finish (shall post a pic when I get one done)

I love my Black Quilt Strat  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=17679.0
So much, that I've gone similar on this one with Tom / String thou & the Pau-Ferro neck ….. Just Pure Sex !!

Thats so funny whom posted the stormtrooper pic. Great match up !!
As I'm in Australia & this guy just did this ………

Are you saying I should call it 'Stormtrooper'  :icon_biggrin:

Ummm .... about time I better give Dougie another call & spend some more $$$$.

 

[Ddbltrbl]

Right On! Right On! :guitarplayer2:

That sure looks nice, and it's one of them " Duh" moments for me. Why didn't I think of that.

white with Black, whatever you add to that is gonna work, can't wait to see it finished

 

[Updown]

:redflag: ...  Please help me decide .....  :doh:

Was going with wood mounted pups, But with SD Rail Pups and being Alpine White it just looks wrong.
I'm kind of leaning towards using all pickup mounting rings. (not afraid of drilling holes etc)
As it just looks more complete to me.
I'd use a SD Triple shot on the Hum.

Please let me know what you think, out of 1 , 2 or 3 pic's below.

Many thanks  :icon_thumright:

 

[Cagey]

Definitely do the rings. Pickups sitting in open holes almost always look like some sort of unfinished experiment. Being black on white exacerbates that impression.

 

[duosonic]

That's a great look.  Man Warmoth does some great work! 

 

[Ddbltrbl]

:icon_thumright: definitely agree on the rings. Really nice!

 

[Death by Uberschall]

I like the Panda look.  ccasion14:

 

[DocNrock]

Definitely with the pickup rings.  Great concept!

 

[ORCRiST]

What about WHITE rings instead of black?
