Hey folks. Being a bit hangoverish from last nights activity and zombieing around the world wide web, I stumblet upon this little warmoth-geek hideout. Made my head a bit lighter drooling over the many fine guitars inhere. Especially in the strat-section of course :icon_thumright:
So, thought i would contribute with some pictures of my warmoth-strat.
The guitar: Mahogany body and neck. I believe the top is brazillian rosewood. I wanted to make a strat with Gibson features - bindings and mahogany. And it turned out as i hoped. Warm, richer sound. It's still very strat'ish, but with a bigger and more clear sound. I mounted it with a set of FletcherLandau picups from Suhr, and a SSH humbucker.
I bought the body from the warmoth stock, and it was allready routed to S-S-H. Suited me fine, and it was at 50% of the original price. (When we order from USA we pay 30% extra in taxes etc. So price matters
I knew from the start, that i wanted a pickguard on it. So even tho it was a shame to cover the beautiful top, i had a clear idea of what i wanted - and thus i slapped on the pickguard. Im not really in to strats without pickguards.
Here we go:
The body, the day i got it: Just to show the top.
And here it is among the rest of the family:
From left:
Blueridge BR-163 with martin pickup (the next guitar will be a clapton or Mayer sig. Martin... Gotta have that sound!) But untill i blow a hole the size of alaska in my economy, the BR-163 is more than sufficient. Its a great bluesy acoustic.
Ibanez AK105SM-ABR. Really nice hollowbody. I have never played much hollowbody, but i got hooked on the neck and feel of this ibanez. Only 200 of these babies worldwide - or so i have read.
G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy. Thinline-hollow without the f-hole. I never found a Fender Tele, that really impressed me. Then one day i had the chance to play this one, and now its not leaving the family ever again. Swapped a Duesenberg TV outlaw (cant remember the full name) for it. True Fender-killer
US. Fender Stratocaster 2001. Bought in New York. Besides being my first real strat, it's an awsome guitar. You know how different the standards can be in quality. Well, i believe this one is way over avarage. Have played many strats, that didn't really had the same feel and touch to it. 100% fender strat :icon_thumright:
Gibson Les Paul Standard 2007 (i think its 2007). Allways dreamed of owning either a Wine Red or a Goldtop. Ended up with this one. 60's neck, as i prefer it, and mounted with Pearly Gates pickups... What can i say... Billy G - the reason i ever wanted a Les Paul in the first place
The Warmoth Strat.
Ozark Deluxe Resonator. Nice midrange resonator with a Headway pu-system. I would love to some day get me a highend resonator. But this is a very nice resonator compared to many of the other midrange reso-type guitars outthere.
That's it. I know they weren't all Warmoth... But one was - and its BROWN! :cool01:
Kind Regards from Denmark
ps. hope the english isn't to crummy. :dontknow:
