Last one, I promise lol. I love sharing music and being exposed to undiscovered art.
Ok - now this one is special to me and there's no quick payload with this one. I conceived the idea after touring through the Middle East, and in particular, after walking through the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey, and the temple of Hercules in Jordan. That trip changed the way I think of music and some of the scales I heard being sung from the mosques during the calls to prayer really moved me. Maybe some of that comes through here.
I have to tell you how much I love this particular Warmoth. I have had many attempts at finding the right ingredients for my desires - and that includes a highly resonant neck and body. The parts that seem to give me this are lightweight mahogany and a one piece maple neck (59, 1-11/16", Vintage Modern). This guitar just sings in my hands and feels so lively! It really is my go-to guitar for everything and will never leave my side. I have another Warmoth that I really like, but the hog is heavy and the maple neck (Wolfgang, 1-3/4", Pro) feels quite dead, though it sounds great. It's just missing that lively feeling. I've just had bad luck with the Pro necks (have gone through 4 or so).
Intro/Verse/Chorus music are all BK Abraxas humbucker under moderate gain. The bridge's broken clean is the Abraxas split - very sparkly and gritty! The heavy rhythm under this part is the Abraxas in full HB mode (as are the solo and octaves).
I honestly feel that this guitar is a huge part of my inspiration to play! I have others collecting dust!

The ladies - Tele (I call her "Doves Cry" or "Ms Nesbit" when she's feeling frisky) with aforementioned Warmoth Strat on rear of stand. Both necks finished with Tru-Oil. LOVE that stuff!
