Hello everyone!
I just wanted to share with all of you some pics of my first all-Warmoth guitar.
Some of you may have seen this guitar when I discussed it briefly and posted one pic a little while back in this thread:

However, I wanted the opportunity to elaborate and go into a bit more detail about its history and specs.
SPECS

-Rear routed, dual humbuckers, string-thru-body hardtail Gotoh Humbucker Tele bridge, V-X-T-5 control config

Neck
-25 1/2" scale Warmoth pro neck w/ Tele-style headstock
-Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard w/ abalone dot inlays, flame koa peghead veneer
-1 3/4" nut width
-Wizard back contour
-10-16" compound radius fingerboard
-SS 6105 fretwire
-Precut and installed Graphtec graphite nut
-Clear gloss on face of peghead, clear satin on the back
Hardware/Electronics
-Locking Sperzel tuners
-Gotoh Humbucker Telecaster string-thru-body hardtail bridge
-EMG 85 bridge pickup, EMG 81 neck pickup
-Master volume, dual tone via an EMG A25KX2 concentric pot, 3-way switch
Misc. Comments
I ordered this guitar in late-November 2005, received it in late-February 2006 and was playing it by mid-March 2006 so it isn't new by any means. Prior to ordering this guitar, the only other things that I had ordered from Warmoth were a AAA birdseye maple/rosewood CBS Strat replacement neck and a replacement pickguard for a stock Fender Strat that I have and since I ordered this Telecaster, I've ordered a few more all-Warmoth guitars, but this one is, by far, my favorite. Not only is it the best guitar that I currently own, it is the best guitar that I have EVER owned. I consider this guitar to be my most prized possession. If my house was burning down and I only had time to grab a couple of things and then escape with my life, I would grab my cat and this guitar. When I contemplate purchasing a new guitar, there are four main things that I look for: looks, feel, playability and tone. This guitar passes with flying colors in all four of those areas. It looks drop-dead gorgeous and it feels, plays and sounds incredible!
