Change of plans- scrapped an idea for a Diamondback build with single humbucker in the bridge position for a drop C guitar I detailed earlier in another thread. Short story is, I did a little set up work, slightly filed a couple nut slots on my Adam Jones LP standard and it is pretty much the riff monster I envisioned my first warmoth to be.
I have already caught the Warmoth bug at this point so a build is going down regardless lol. I pulled the trigger on a neck last night (details below)
I am leaning towards a Meadowhawk mahogany (2 humbucker) body and mainly debating colors at this point to look good with the dark roasted maple neck. Pewter? Metallic cinder red? Metallic charcoal frost? Probably will stick to a solid color, satin finish. I still plan to use black hardware since I've already ordered tuners and hipshot bridge. Would love any recommendations and pics on color ideas with roasted maple neck and fretboard. I can't believe I didn't save a screenshot of the neck before I ordered. It was an in-stock neck. Noob move. Lol
I have no idea what this guitar will grow up to be and I may wait to order pickups. This may be the dumbest idea ever but I may string it up and see how it feels with no pickups if that even makes sense then decide if I want to go boutique vintage type USA buckers or maybe SD high gain rails or anything in between. Who knows. I'm making this up as I go and honestly it's already pretty fun.
