Well, here it is - my new Dinky Strat, done as cheaply as possible. $157 maple/maple Warmoth pro neck, standard thin, CBS headstock. Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell in the neck and Super Distortion in the bridge. I'm normally a vintage pickup guy, but I wanted to drive my new tube amp a little harder. They sound great! Anyway, the body is a Dinky Strat (about 7/8 the size of a normal strat body). Unfortunately, I had to get the body from another company as Warmoth cannot do one of these that will work with a regular Warmoth neck! They really should, if one of their biggest competitors can do it for the same price as a regular body. In fact, the body was $120, 3 piece alder. I was planning on painting it, but I thought the 3 piece alder would look sweet in Mahogany minwax stain with tru-oil over it and a little minwax satin poly over that. Non wood/guitar geeks thinks it looks cooler than my one piece!
Sorry warmoth, but at least I'm not pimping the other site here. I did email you and you said I had to buy a 24 fret 24 3/4 neck, and I already had the maple, so I looked elsewhere and was accomodated.
Anyway, the bridge is the Gotoh Wilkinson and the tuners are the Gotoh non-Klusons (I forget what they are called).
Sounds fantastic, and for all you noobs - the cheapest stuff in the showcase is just as "good' as the highest dollar stuff - it just may not look as nice.
Peace Dawggies,
