Well how bout you tease me with links to your 1st and 2nd builds since I'm not familiar with your work off hand. That way you can get me all hot and bothered.

Wow. That was cheaper than a bottle of lotion and a good dirty mag!
 
It's a 7/8 strat, SD bucker in the bridge, TV jones in neck. And a very special fretboard!
Sorry, yes cheap trick.
Gotta do something before it arrives to keep from goin nuts.

I think you'll like the wood laminate!
Gonna need a custom neckplate.

IT ARRIVED TODAY!!!! Man the crew at Warmoth outdid themselves - just awesome, I'm over the moon!

I'm into Zebrawood and Bird'seye Maple - stripes and dots. I scored this piece of flatsawn Zebrawood, kiln dried off of ebay and I asked Ken if he would inspect it to see if it met standards. It did. He then told me it would be possible for a Zebrawood fretboard. I like bound necks and I wanted a Gibson scale so I went for the 7/8 strat, standard thin profile, 6130 frets. I love the Warhead headstock! Got my own decal to put on it.
Always wanted a vintage white strat so I did that for the back of the guitar. SD pearly gates bucker in the bridge, TV Jones Powertron in the neck. Got pop up pots so I didn't have too many switches so I can split the coils (I probably said that wrong but I'm a guitar player dammit, not a technician).

Here it is. To me, this is guitar porn!

WOW  :o

Them's some nice stripes you got going on there PT ... the fretboard is AMAZING  :headbang:
 
Thanks Stew and SP. Just can't say how excited I am. Going to try to put it together in the next few days then I'll post a video.  It's chambered Mahogany so lightweight because I wanted a "travel guitar" to go in a gig bag. Man can't wait to hear those pups. Funny but Seymour Duncan is actually one block from my workplace (the factory). OK I'm just rambling. Cheers
 
Wow!! very nice.. also very close to what I had in mind for my next build.. I even had a certain small young fellow forum member photoshop it for me!!
 
Hope I didn't scoop you Marko! I've seen your guitars - you can't be scooped!

I am just amazed at this neck, exactly what I wanted!




I am capable of writing a sentence without an exclamation point.
