For your viewing pleasure ...

It plays like a dream,
The warmoth parts with their excellent fit are impeccable. The body shape is really comfortable. The gloss inferno flake finish is beautiful .. probably best seen in the pic of the horn. It pops! Highlights include the DiMarzio DP240 neck pickups, they are like the best tele neck pickups but with balls. The Freeway switching gets lots of sonic options. Great for Americana. Could play it all day. It's a pro guitar.

Total weight: 8 Lbs. 2oz

Thank you Warmoth! And everyone who helped along the way.

Stunning build!! I especially like how the pearloid binding fits with the flake... I thought pearloid would look cold next to warm colors but it looks like it takes on the warmth of the finish and shares the visual interest of the flake. I've been planning a cream-coordinated build with inferno flake but this might influence a shift in that :unsure:
 
Actually .. the idea for the pearoid was planted by mayfly ... i like how it came out too! Thanks.
