None more purple - purple quilted maple body / purpleheart neck

[timezon3]

Received my purpleheart neck last week and got some time today to tinker, cut and install a nut, etc.  Action / nut could use some more adjusting but overall it's in pretty good shape already.
Specs:
Neck (warmoth):
purpleheart / ebony
supernova inlays
SS6105 frets
1 3/4 nut width
ivory nut

Body (warmoth):
alder / quilted maple
stained purple / rattle can nitro gloss
Lollar blonde pickups

I'll continue to tinker with it (when am I not tinkering with a guitar?) and still want to burnish the neck too, but the overall look of the thing won't change much, so thought I'd post these pics.

Sweeeeeeet! Now that's what I call a "purple tribute"!

That really is purple.

When I read the title of the thread, I initially thought it said "Purpleheart Attack". Seems fitting... What a beaut!

Digging it, man. Thumbs up!

At first look those Supernova inlays reminded me too much of my wife's Subaru, but seeing them on your guitar, they're kinda growing on me. Nice job Brother, more pictures please!  :icon_thumright:

You're right, Steve. Those inlays do look appropriate on this one. Very nice work.

I finally got around to taking some better pictures, with an actual camera.  Not much work has gone on in the meantime, a fair bit of setup work, and getting the nut cut and finished right.  I am quite happy with the playability at this point.  I also did burnish the purpleheart neck, which faded the color a little bit, but after a few weeks, it has come back nicely.  I do believe the neck is a tad bit flamed as well, and looks quite nice.  I got pretty lucky with the color of the neck, I guess, because it is a pretty darn close match to the back of the guitar itself.

Nice picks. They show off it's purpleness nicely.
