Dangerous Lava

[fdesalvo]

OMG man that is crazy gorgeous.  What is it about Warmoth and their furniture grade gutars?

Thanks for all the input and comments! I was thinking along the same lines as Super Turbo so I took some pictures with a standard chrome Tele bridge layed in place. I may add a chrome pickup ring for the neck pickup, but I think I like it! Black knobs might also work, but I think going all black would be too much??

And for everybody getting so excited about playing with my neck I thought I'd add one more pic.

But, my wife says that she's the only one that gets to play with it!  :dontknow:
I'll add some "In Progress" pics as it comes together... uh Taxi!  :guitarplayer2:

 

[DangerousR6]

So have you decided on the plate? I think the collaboration of mine and yours will look sweet... :dontknow:

 

[bbl4ck]

I like it.  ccasion14:

I wouldn't put one of those chrome trim rings around the neck pick up, I hate those things on singles coils. Putting a chrome pickup cover on the pick up would be a great idea though. Keep the chrome knobs on it.

That is a seriously awesome guitar. I'm totally jealous.

Were these in-stock showcase items, or were they custom built for you?

@DangerousR6 - Sent you a PM. Let's do it! :icon_thumright:

@DBU - I'm not a big fan of the chrome pickup rings either, but I'm even less of a fan of the gaping gash, wiring stapled to the ceiling look. :dontknow:
Fralin intentionally makes this neck pickup without the cover and recommends against using one. But, I do like the look of the cover, so I may experiement a bit...  :icon_scratch:

@SlartiBartfast - These were straight from the showcase! You could say I just got lucky, but I've been seeing a number of really nice parts showing up in the showcase. Just decide what your looking for before hand, keep watching and then hold on to your wallet!  :toothy12:

 

[DangerousR6]

Chrome I'm assuming... :dontknow:

Chrome I'm assuming... :dontknow:

Please Please Please Take heaps of shots of that Neck, I wanna see it from every angle, it's Pure Wood PORN  :blob7:

Oh Man this pic shows just what a great match up of the neck & body ..... Wow Wow Wow  :icon_thumright:
The grains are perfect !!

They where made for each other, Plus straight off the showcase  :doh:

But, my wife says that she's the only one that gets to play with it!  :dontknow:

:laughing11: :laughing3: :laughing7:

Chrome I'm assuming... :dontknow:

Yeah, Chrome!
Thanks!  ccasion14:

Any hint at what you 2 are up to here ? :dontknow:

 

[Ddbltrbl]

@ Updown - As much time as I've spent combing through all the glorious and gory details you share on some of your builds,  how can I refuse.  :laughing7:
Here you go:

But, the pictures just don't do all the colors justice!  And surprisingly, its not as heavy as I expected! :glasses9:

On the neck plate, we're not up to anything super unusual, just following on the Lava theme. I'll let DangerousR6 post it to his neckplate thread whenever he gets around to it.  :icon_thumright:

Thanks again for all the comments folks!  :guitarplayer2:

 

[Updown]

If I could swear on here ....... anyway, I'm pretty sure you would know what I just said after seeing those pic's  :laughing7:

Perfect  :icon_thumright: ...... Thank you  :icon_biggrin:
Colours look darn fine from here  :glasses9: ..... Love it  :blob7:
Oh I thought yourself & Doug we're doing some fancy looking Bridge Pup Mount ring :doh: ..... silly me !!

Thanks for the pic's  :icon_thumright:

 

[Cagey]

Man, that's a beautiful neck! I'm so envious! There's a Strat version in the Showcase right now that I want so bad I can barely stand it, but daddy needs a new buffer. Painting season is starting up, and I have miles to go before I sleep.

+1,000,000,000,000 

 

[stubhead]

Man, that neck is, like.... :headbang: :hello2:

I sure hoped they asked the tree's permission to cut it down, or the Abdominal Blowman might be coming to GETCHOO      :guitarplayer2:  arty07:  :hello2:

 

[wired to go]

AWESOME LOOKING COMBO !  :rock-on:

 

[Stew]

Sure will make for a sweet build  :icon_thumright:
I'd still like to see it with all black hardware including pickup ring.

 

[swarfrat]

They where made for each other, Plus straight off the showcase  :doh:

They weren't just made for each other. They look like they were made from adjacent lumber in the same tree. Look at that shot - the grain actually meets at the neck.

 

[Cagey]

I noticed that, too. Thing is just freakishly beautiful. Definitely a one-of-a-kind never-to-be-repeated instrument.
