GAS Alert!!!!

I bought it. Couldn't help myself. It has a pearl finish! Got a mint pickguard for it, too. Gotta agonize over a neck now.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Go with wenge or something else dark - mint chocolate chip.

 

[Cagey]

Yes. It'll almost certainly be something dark at least on the fretboard, but I haven't decided what yet. I've already got a really nice Pau Ferro neck sitting here that might work out for it. I like the mint-chocolate chip analogy  :icon_biggrin:

 

[rgand]

Wow, what a fine grab, Kevin. Looking forward to a build thread on it.

 

[stratamania]

Pearl Surf Green does look good. Don't tell me you bought the blue soloist too  :icon_smile:

 

[Fat Pete]

I failed to notice that it was pearl surf green at first glance. Colour me jealous.

 

[Cagey]

That's what put me over the edge.

Thank you! :icon_biggrin: I gotta wait until at least my new guitar comes before ordering a Warmoth build :sad:

My man! Great grab, should work out wonderfully with a dark neck.  :icon_thumright:

If I lived in the USA I would totally pick this up, shame shipping is in the same price range as the body so it makes it pretty unfeasible to buy just a body :sad1:

$140 7/8 scale Tele :headbang:

Ooh, interesting inlays,

[ThePhilosopher]

Those are only available on the 7 string necks I believe.

YIP...

 

[swarfrat]

Inlays yep, but that's a hideous headstock.

Oh wait nevermind.

 

[DangerousR6]

Could always reshape the headstock to lop off extra tuner and make it an extra wide 6.... :dontknow:

 

[Pelagaard]

Could always reshape the headstock to lop off extra tuner and make it an extra wide 6.... :dontknow:

Or...  Re-shape it, add 5 more tuners and make it a 12 string...

 

[stratamania]

Or leave the headstock as it is and make a 7 string with a creative looking body with a butcher theme. Paint it in an artistic manner so the headstock looks like a steel meat cleaver form a metal band called Zombie Butchers and stardom is just around the bend.

I've just spent more time than I should browsing showcase. As I finish up my 1st project some of the items are giving me thoughts I shouldn't have

Here's something interesting for the lefties from $280:

[Cagey]

There's nothing quite like successfully assembling your first "perfect" instrument to make you look at the candy Warmoth offers to make your next really perfect instrument. 25 guitars later... :laughing7:

 

[Tomatonator]

I should probably spend time on skills and money on lessons though!
