Finally arrived!!! VW carved top + Warmoth neck

[ventolino]

After a lot of waiting, and after a problem with custom, finally arrived my long waited parts.  arty07:



Just to start: boxes, eheheh  :laughing7:

Let's start with Warmoth 24-3/4 conversion neck, all indian rosewood.  :hello2:

A particular...

...and another:

And...

OMG, this is beautiful! This VW carved top has color like rainbow, images can't do justice to beauty of these colors and wood veneers  :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

Another view...

...and another:

This is my first W order and i must admit that parts arrived are great, very high quality  :icon_thumright:  :blob7: :blob7: :blob7:
And now, just a bit more relaxed for the arrival, it's time to build it and hear it (again, i can't wait to hear this beauty).

This was one of the best striptease I've ever seen!  :icon_jokercolor:

Congrats!! Very nice neck and body!  :icon_biggrin:
What will be the hardware?

 

[jule7625]

Nice!!
Was the body from the showcase or special order.
Probably one of the last VW bodies, since Warmoth aren't able to make them anymore.

M4rk0, i haven't said i'll never make another W order!  :laughing11:
Custom order is too much to wait and waiting make me crazy.
BTW there's always the showcase, but don't say it to my wife  :icon_biggrin:

Wow! Smokin  body. Nice job. But did I miss something and hear someone say Warmoth won't be able to make VW bodies anymore? WHY!!!!?

 

[jule7625]

It seems that way, JamesL.  Check out:  VW Bodies in, General Discussion -- at the time of this posting, on page 3.

Weeeeyowww!  I guess it was worth the wait, huh?  That neck is incredible.  Oh, yeah, the body is alright, too, if you like that sort of thing. (kidding, of course, it is gorgeous!)

 

[ventolino]

Weeeeyowww!  I guess it was worth the wait, huh?

Yes, agree.

That neck is incredible.  Oh, yeah, the body is alright, too, if you like that sort of thing. (kidding, of course, it is gorgeous!)

F***k!  :toothy12:  :laughing11:
Yesterday i finished to install all the hardware on neck and now it's great, so smooth and good looking.  :headbang:

Eccezionale, il mio amico! Amo i puntini dell'aliotide!

I hope that's right.

 

[tfarny]

Awesome build, congrats. I could see that neck on a lot of different and very nice Warmoth projects. Great body too.

 

[ventolino]

Eccezionale, il mio amico!

This is almost right, but exactly is "Eccezionale, amico mio!"

Amo i puntini dell'aliotide!

Ildar, this is great! I'm ROTFLing  :toothy12: :toothy12: :toothy12:
I had a little difficulties to understand this, but exactly is "Amo i segnatasti in abalone".

:icon_thumright:

Sad thing is, my ancestors are Italian, but I had to use translation software to try and say all that. Never learned to speak the language, unfortunately.
Anyhow, excellent looking pieces, can't wait to see it all finished.

 

[Phrygian]

Wow... gorgeous flame top and rosewood!

 

[ventolino]

It's not your fault Ildar, EVERY translation softwares make a lot of mistake with Italian language because of its complexity (Italy also is a complex nation, but this is another topic) and when you read a translation made by them you can't stop laughing, it's very very funny  :laughing7:
A lot of people have Italian ancestors, where are/were yours from?
Hmm... i'm going out of topic. 

 

[DiMitriR33]

my ancestors are also itallian. but scattered everywhere, a great grand mother from sicily, some frome napels and calabria, and some from emilia-romagna.

my italian speaking family members can't understand each others italian.
my great grandparents were from there but my grand father never learned it, my grand mother know italian but couldn't understand my grandfathers family.

i'd really like to learn the language and someday visit there.

My mother and his family is from Sicily also!
It's a little world! Emigrants from Italy to USA is a tipical situation, also i have relatives living in Missoury near Kansas City

my italian speaking family members can't understand each others italian.

Maybe because they don't speak Italian but italian dialect. It's not a matter of pronunciation, they're different languages with different grammatical rules, we have 20 regions and each have its own dialect and if you add that a single dialect have variations you can understand why your families can't understand each other.  :icon_scratch:

You don't need to learn Italian to visit Italy and you have to visit here!  :rock-on:

Most of my people are Abbruzese, and a a few from Palermo.

My mother grew up in a town named Mule Shoe, and my father grew up in Jacksburro, and I still managed not to marry a family member!
