Hey all, not sure if this should be here or in the gallery, but here is my latest project from Warmoth. My goal was simple elegance, and straightforward. I also wanted to get a guitar with a trem, since the only other guitar that I've owned that had one was blocked and I never experimented with it. Specs after pics.
I picked up the body for absolutely dirt cheap. I watched it for months and months because I thought it just looked so awesome, but I wasn't wanting a trem at the time. Then it moved to the screaming deals section, and I still held out. Finally, after the price being lowered two MORE times, I picked it up in the recent screaming deals sale. I figured it was a sign. The last picture is what I call the "galaxy" on the guitar, and is the feature that drew me so much to the body. I love it.
Specs:
Swamp Ash Soloist
Only routed for a blade switch, with a custom knob position (volume).
Wilkinson Trem
Jake Bowen's Dimarzio Titan Pickups
Maple/Maple Neck
Gotoh Tuners
Wizard Contour
SS 6100 Frets
Fret magic performed by our very own Cagey (Seriously, look at those frets in the picture)
Both are finished in a 3 very thin coats of Tung Oil, then steel wooled to knock off the slight gloss that built. Very smooth finish.
The knob, pickup rings, and strap buttons are actually ebony. I was just going to go plain black, but figured I would splurge just a little bit. I think it is an awesome accent, although the grain in the knob/buttons didnt pick up that well in the pictures.
As always, everything was top notch quality. I literally just finished it the other day, so it needs to rest a bit before final set up, but it SHREDS so far.
Also as a final note, the cavity cover is signed by Plini and Aaron Marshall (of Intervals).
