Howdy people, time for a proper NGD for this beast.
So for me, this is Warmoth number two, but its the first time I go with a Warmoth body (first time it was a cheap body). I wanted to make the perfect Stoner Rock machine for me, for the style I play and to even go into the metal area. I decided to give the Quarter Pound Lead I got initially for my first tele another try since this time, the neck pickup will cover the rythm part (I hope, never ever tried a Lace before). I went with the inversed tele configuration, I just prefer it that way.
Also, you'll notice that the top two strings are top loaded. The reason behind this is simple: My luthier (wich is a bassist, might explain his mistake...) used the top loader on the bridge for all the strings instead of the string thru ferule. Pretty weird... kinda lost points in my book... especially since the three low strings were now too short to get stringed using the string thru option, so this kinda costed me three CK... perdon me Kalium strings. Oh well, lets carry on.
