A month ago news arrived to us all that warmoth would stop manufacturing les pauls. Since they are my personal supplier so to say, I started wondering who should deliver fresh stashes of lesters. Not g!bs0n, thats for sure ;)

I made the capital mistake of going through the showcase and this caught my eye.

So I bought that one. With a nice rosewood neck to match. Ebony board, 22 frets and trapezoid inlay.

This one will get a set of fuglybuckers.

But 2 days ago a friend teased me about not having enough guitars especially with 2 more humbuckers on the way. Zephyr silver set... and he showed me this (the jerk ;) )

But with this finish. Slightly washed purple with a transparant purple back.

The neck will be the same, albeit a hair thinner. Both guitars will have chrome hardware . A swansong should not have the celebratory gold, but the silver, suited for the Sadness of a funeral.  ;)


lf all goes well, l will get # 22 in January. That one will simply go with a light honeyburst and 2 pickups, like a ' 59 but (for me) nicer.

PS. Remember that PRS single 2001? Hate it ! it is too clean and hifi and without character to me. l am going to trade it with a friend for a ghost builded R9 .


 
Very gorgeous bodies, both. I thought about getting that Flame Maple one myself, but ended up pulling the trigger on a different one. Looking forward to seeing the progress on these two and the final product!  :icon_thumright:
 
Oh, that's not too bad. Mine hit 10 almost by accident the other day as I keep getting unexpected +2s.

In that case, I might try for a set of Zephyrs for Strat and one for Tele.
 
Cool!! I am getting 6 to 8 monthly since I am the forum ambassador. Cantnwait to go see namm and their factory this January!
 
Ah cool. I had to give up on the ambassador thing once I went back to full time work. Ambassador + job + wife + baby = more time than I've got!
 
I agree it is a loy of work. But if I dont work I will go crazy. If I dont have something to do that scumbag brain of mine says hi you are still single. The b!tch kicked you out of your own home. Especially niw during the holiday season.  I hate Christmas,  Sylvesters Eve and all that crap.
 
I have no idea what Sylvesters Eve is but it sounds awesome.

Yeah, if I was single I'd still be doing the ambassador thing. It was fun. However, I'm not, I have responsibilities 24x7, and it's tough for me to even fit 4 blog articles in some months.
 
Dang Orpheo, at this point you might as well contact them and see if you can work up a bulk deal for the remaining stock.  I must say, you likely have the most difinitive Warmoth LP collection in history.  I would be very surprised if any other customer has as many in numbers and in diversity. :rock-on:
 
Oh sylvesters eve is 31 December. ..

I doubt it too that somwone has as many lp's as I do. I belueve it has been confirmed a while agi. I dobt persue the most.  Just. .. a lot
