is the neck warmoth? did you finsh the body yourself???


killer guitar!!! arty07:

 

[catphish_wood_dog]

i bought the neck through ebay.  it's a standard stratocaster neck, not warmoth.  i didn't finish the body myself, warmoth took care of that.

I REALLY like that one!

 

[catphish_wood_dog]

Something nice to be said for white teles.  Class!

That "Third Finger" (or whatever it's called) sustainer thing work?

 

[tfarny]

Very nice one! Looks classy and I'm sure a great player. Lots better than what I was playing at 17!

 

[catphish_wood_dog]

thanks for all the comments guys.  i appreciate it.  nathan a - yes, the "fat finger" does work.  it's not an overwhelming difference or anything like that, but it's a nice gentle touch.  it really does give you a little more sustain.  it'd probably be a little nicer to have the vintage style headstock for a little more room for the fat finger, plus it might look cool, but idk.

 

[jackthehack]

Nice; that Arctic White?  ccasion14:

 

[catphish_wood_dog]

no, vintage white.  it actually came out a lot lighter than i wanted, which i was kinda bummed about at first, but idk, in certain lighting you can see a cream-light yellowish tint.  the color definitely is a lot lighter than what's on the warmoth site, and i don't think that's cool.

how do you like the 5-2 pickup?
