looks really great - it's crazy how the flash or the sun is putting hole in the guitar :icon_scratch:

I'm not sure what happened there.  I guess maybe the white in the middle got too bright for my camera.  Very odd looking.

 

[GoDrex]

Yeah that must be what it is. At first I was like, damn someone goofed! hahaha

I really like the look of that guitar. Classic yet unique.

Love the korina grain showing on the headstock. It looks very alive.

 

[Lucky #7]

Thanks for the compliments.

That Korina grain was the entire reason I picked the neck.  I would have preferred traps, but that grain was just too nice looking.

I see what you mean about how they positioned the tuners. It's odd for sure, but livable. It's a beautiful guitar, that's for sure!

Beautiful guitar!!  Not only is it a fraction of the cost of a Gibson Slash signature model, but with a far superior finish and neck.  :headbang:

WHOA! Nice build! Can't wait to see some better pics, man. :toothy10:

Bengal Bursts rule!  :laughing7:

I like this build! this guitar looks and 'feels'very different from gregg's bengal burst, despite different inlays. I got a total different feeling with this guitar, just by looking at the body. more sobre, less extravagant (which is not a bad thing! dont get me wrong! haha). gregg's LP is over the top, this guitar is very neat and radiates 'coolness'! enjoy your build!

 

[Lucky #7]

Thanks Orpheo.  :glasses9:

Moved the pictures up to the top.

Looks awesome, I use the same brand of picks too, I can do string scrapes all day and the pick doesn't groove or break, I have a hard time finding those picks now for some reason

 

[Lucky #7]

musiciansfriend.com sells a lot of the different kinds and various patterns/designs.  I think they're by the dozen.

I love them.  I used to use the Fender picks and they would wear down obscenely fast.  The Claytons take forever to wear down and their .50 mm are perfect for me.

I got to play it a little bit at a blues jam in Houston this weekend.  The more I play it, the more I love it.  It plays nice and thank God for that satin neck.  It's been a whole since I have been on a stage and I was sweating up a storm.  I have a feeling I would have had a hard time if it was a glossy neck.

Very, very nice.

This is absolutely gorgeous man. I hadn't really seen any Bengal bursts that I particularly liked (nothing wrong with them, just not my cup of tea) but I definitely dig this one.

I know Warmoth is all about building "my own personal dream guitar" but some of yalls guitars make me want to recreate "your dream guitars" haha

Again, awesome job man.
