I have got to stop looking at Warmoth's site...

[DocNrock]

I nearly pulled the trigger on that several times in the last 3 weeks, I can't imagine that body with anything but singles in it, and the mention of a swimmingpool route almost made me cry.

So now you just gotta make it look good whatever you do, congrats, I really like that one....

Too bad you didn't.  Then, I wouldn't be out the change.  :laughing7:

That said, I can understand one's choice of singles vs. humbuckers: completely personal.  However, I really don't understand the problem with a swimmingpool route if it is already top routed and is going to have a pickguard covering the routes, regardless how it is routed for the pups.  :icon_scratch:

The crime in this body is that it is top routed, at all.  I had to save it, since it was abused, like a pound puppy.  Yeah, that's a good rationalization.  :icon_jokercolor:

That's easy, Dbw.  Poor little thing, it's orange.  It doesn't fit in with its rock amp peers, them being black or grey.  It has an undeserved inferiority complex and needs love and nurturing.  I get the impression you're just the one to provide a good home for it.   :icon_biggrin:

Yeah, Kreig, that would look sharp, as well.  I too am a fan of black hardware and of DiMarzio bladed single-sized HBs.  However, most of my guitars have ebony fretboards and I have quite a few builds with the bladed single-sized HBs.  That said, I don't have any Warmoths with chrome hardware and I think that will go with this finish, as well.  It will have a black pickguard, that is for sure.  I think this will really pop with a maple/maple neck.  I'm really leaning towards quartersawn, just so as not to distract from the body finish.

Since the dyed quilt is most often seen on LPs or PRSs, and these are usually double hum, you will see where double hum comes into play.  Besides, I'm more of a Charvel fan than a Fender fan.   :icon_thumright: 

What is that on top? Just blue dye? It is beautiful.

Alder body with a quilt maple laminate top, black dye followed by blue translucent finish, I think.  I agree, absolutely gorgeous, IMHO.

O.K. Doc,

You have my blessings , whichever way you go . I try to do different things for each guitar I build or mod .

But try polycarb , since you are going w/ blk. p/g anyway !?

Maple/maple would look cool too. Go scallop if you don't have one yet . . . I LOVE mine !

btw , I love spending your money !  :laughing3:

Its all good, Fernando.  Those are sharp, but none do it for me like this Strat body.  Absolutely killer would have been this top/finish on a carved top VIP with black binding.  Mmmmmm.

:laughing11: A whole family of blue guitars... :icon_thumright:  That Les Pauls is kick ass, but i think you're right Doc. The top on yours would be the shit on a VIP carved top... :icon_thumright:
