Green Flame rear-routed Strat.

My second build from Warmoth Parts. It sounds great, is quiet, and stays in tune wonderfully.

If you right click on the pics, and select "Open In New Tab" you can see them full size. I'm not sure why it shrinks them down, and then blows them up huge on this page.

On the picture above with the incomplete body, you can see one of the inserts I used to mount the pickups.

Love the color. Jungle Burst?

That guitar looks AWESOME with those inlays! Very well done. Welcome to the board!

I'm not sure why it shrinks them down, and then blows them up huge on this page.

It's because you didn't resize them and it's the actual size of your photos.

Really cool guitar! Congrats!

Thanks. It came from the Showcase. They had it listed as a green burst, but it certainly could be called either one.

They are resized to 4x6 @ 300 DPI. It must be how the page is coded. I don't have any other issues viewing them on other sites. Is there an optimum that you guys have found?

 

[AutoBat]

4x6 @300 is 1200 x 1800.  That's wider than most users monitors. Not all, but most.
I try to limit widths to 1024 whilst reducing height in an equal percentage. YMMV.

Very nice.  I like the pickup inserts.  I'm wanting to do something similar with maybe the ability to put a nice cover over the sides of the pickups.  Mine is routed for EMGs and thought it might look nice with a metal or plastic cover sitting flush with the top of the guitar.  Haven't quite figured out how to do it though.

That is a gorgeous body! I'm waiting on something similar - green dye on quilt maple, rear rout.

That's the toxic look I want. Can't seem to find the dye to get there though, mine always turn out darker. Nice selection!  :icon_thumright:
