First Warmoth! Babe-o-caster

[Davidh]

Hey guys,

I just finished my first Warmoth strat. It proved to be alot more work than I expected but luckily the colours turned out just the way I had in mind! 
Specs:
- Warmoth hollow alder body, contoured heel.
- Warmoth maple neck, rosewood FB. Angled headstock. Schaller locking tuners.
- Gotoh VS100 tremolo.
- Fender 57/62 pickups with 7-way mod.
- all gold hardware as you see.
- weight: 6 pounds/ 3 kg

How she sounds? No idea, still got to do the setup!  :icon_biggrin:

(Sorry, for the lousy pics but I had to use my phone)

What do you guys think?

Cool, good job  :icon_thumright:. If it were me though, I'd do one of those truckstop babes as an inlay though so that the audience could enjoy as well

I love a white strat, and that guitar is sweet. But the girls are superfluous. Yeah I wrote superfluous. :laughing7:

Nice build!  Classic looks with a babes in the palm of your hand.  :rock-on:

Yeah you just wanted to be running your hands up and down girls bodies all day, huh. Hopefully those graphics won't rub off onto your hand..

Are they stickers?  :icon_scratch:

i think they're acrylic paint, i remember him saying they were painted in another thread....

I'm not sure if the girls on the back of the neck are going to hold up to fast playing, but I do have to admit that I really like the look of the neck painted up on the rear.

Slick build!

I'm NOT biting . . . :icon_scratch:

Explain the Fender Custom shop decal on the back of the headstock ! ! ! AND BE PREPARED to be TOTALLY scrutinized !

 

[Davidh]

Hey thanks for the comments!

Yes they're painted so I hardly feel the girls when playing. And about the decals... well I just like to have something on the headstock. Of course I could make some kind of stupid logo with my name, hoping people would ask about it and I could say I built it myself. But I don't care, I like the fender logo on a strat... (I also won't use them to fool people into that I've got a customshop strat).

Out of curiosity, why did you choose a LP style nut for the neck?

You have to, with an angled headstock.

Ahhh thanks, I just noticed from the second pic that it is angled, didn't notice that before  ccasion14:
