Fireburst Strat - Warmoth Body and USACG Neck

[Christobul]

Well, this was my first Warmoth build.  It was actually assembled a few months ago but I've been casually tweaking details and I think I've finally configured everything the way I want it.  I'm loving this guitar.  Here are the details:

• Warmoth Showcase Strat body made of swamp ash with a flamed maple top done in Fireburst with a transparent red back
• USACG US-2 neck made of AAA birdseye maple with a compound fretboard radius of 9.5"-12", a C-shaped back contour measuring 0.88" deep at the first fret and finished in clear gloss
• Special-ordered Gotoh hardware (locking SGS510Z tuners and a 510TS-SF1 tremolo with a large steel block)
• DiMarzio Area 58 pickups in the neck and middle positions and an Area 61 in the bridge

I like it so much, I already ordered a Warmoth custom Tele body for my next build.  Once that build is done, I'll post that too.

Here are some pics:

Because he included the photos as an attachment to the post. So the images are essentially hosted by this forum and will only let members who are logged in view them. When your not logged in, you can only see images that are hosted by an outside image host such as photobucket or the likes.

I have always loved the Warmoth fireburst, but have yet to add one to the herd.
Who did your headstock logo?  I only wish I had a signature nice enough to add to a headstock.
Enjoy your new geetar and  :rock-on:

Ah, makes sense.  I fixed it so all can view now.  Thanks.

Who did your headstock logo?

I designed the logo and had Best-Decals.com produce it.  I thought they're initial setup fee was a little steep if you're only doing one or two decals, but their product and customer service was great.  And they keep your art on file so you don't have to pay the setup fee again down the road.  I'll be using those guys again.

Update: I said that I had started a Tele build and would post pictures when I had it done.  It is finished.  I'll start a new thread for the Tele, but here is a pic of the Tele and Strat together.
