I was really always planning on the way Warmoth did some of their builds, but I’m not sure I want to cover up that much of the beautiful quilt. I really like that look though….

Alder core. I was figuring I would paint the back if I did the image above, but now not sure. Oh well, I have plenty of time to decide, 2 builds in front of it…..

Just a thought and may be bad but lighter shade in the center and darker on the outer bit but still allow the quilt to show through maybe.

Ha, ha - that's exactly what I've been kicking around. Would be something totally different than the normal burst, and I was even thinking of having a thin masked accent line with the natural color to separate the colors, then it could blend in to the 'faux binding' around the edges. Then paint the sides and back the solid darker blue color. Might be crazy, but will be definitely be different !

Whatever you decide I know you have the skills and tools to pull of something awesome! Blue though? On the heels of @Spuds more blue than blue Tele? Tough act to follow!

Thanks Hodgo, I appreciate that.

Dang - you're right, tough to follow that ! I did like the orange one they built like that also.......

Hope you don't mind me posting your photo @aarontunes , but I couldn't find a pic of that guitar, just remembered it from your video.

Something like this possibly. The colors aren't right, but just the general idea

Hagwood will make anything look great!

As no one has mentioned it so far, those initial Warmoth M'Hawks, with the solid colours and quilt maple, are different to the body @Hagwood has. For example, they do not have a forearm contour or drop top, the solid colour parts of the top are lower than the quilt maple which is only where the shape is, and the solid colour has a burst over. A bit like the Musicman Armada's had albeit a different shape.
