Opps & another Box

[Updown]

Gee & I forgot all about this until it turned up the other day.  :icon_jokercolor:

  Holy Crap  ….. WOW  :blob7:  WOW  :blob7:  WOW  :blob7:

Strat Body
Solid Alder
High Grade Quilt Maple Top
Rear Rout
Contoured Heel
Recessed TOM - Angled Strings
Black Dye Top
Black Gloss Back
(Note in the pic's it says) …..  Black Dye / Trans Black / Black Edges

Either way looks bloody great  :icon_thumright:

Added a few pic's & in some of these (have a close look  :glasses9: ) you would think it's been Chiselled / Routed / Carved into the Top woodwork.

It just looks  :glasses9:  so amazingly intriguing & mesmerising looking  :glasses9:  into it, pure quality if ya ask me !!

Can see where there is a little that doesn't line up in the middle at the bottom of the body.
(Shows up more in the pic's than in real life, thou)

All I can add to this is it's having a GK-3 internal install & some Bare Knuckle Pickups …. Mule (N)  Abraxas (B)
This is the body I thought the Raw Pau-Ferro neck (I got last week with the Red Strat) would go with.
But still undecided as to what body with that neck.

Will let ya know when things get going.

Ummm …  :icon_scratch:  might just have to send DangerousR6 some more work his way.

Now just gotta  .....  stay away from the showcase, for a while. 

Anyway here she is …. Cheers

Dude that quilt top looks unreal!!!!!!! Whats the neck going to be?

 

[Updown]

Was thinking this Neck out of #2 box here  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=17159.0 the Raw Pau Ferro with Ebony fretboard.

That's going to be a hell of nice guitar. That's a really unique finish - and I mean in a good way! :glasses10:

Besides all that, Warmoth are probably going to want to make you a director soon - you just about own their entire inventory now   :laughing7:

Man someone (wife, girlfriend, crazy hobo who sees you with all your nice guitars) is gonna wanna kill you . I wish I could drop dimes like that, I would be in heaven!

All of these are beautiful guitars.

 

[Cagey]

Awesome! I love it!

Another beauty, Updown - congratulations!

Also, thanks for helping empty the showcase of these fine works - more room for drool fodder to replace them.  :laughing7:

Yep sure is just a beauty

Thanks to all that I haven't quoted also, for your comments.  :icon_thumright:

Sorry about all the pic's, but thought it deserved some close up ones, is just amazing to look at  :glasses9:
Cheers  ccasion14: Have a top weekend all.

I am completely over maple.
But.
I think I just cried a little.

sweet. really cool to see a tune-o-matic on a body like that. this reminds me a bit of an ibanez SZ for that reason. Nice change of pace. We actually don't see too many guitars of any kind with TOM bridges on the boards do we?

 

[Patriot54]

This finish looks like lava when it cools off and turns black - very cool!

That's probably because they're notoriously sloppy due to their flimsy mounting scheme and poor machining and/or casting, and are too often the failure points for strings. Not to mention being a pain in the ass to intonate at setup. I wouldn't use one.

But, people use deficient hardware all the time, so... who knows? Although, substantially more people build Strats and similar guitars that traditionally don't use TOMs anyway, so that may be part of it.

 

[Stew]

Gonna be another sweet build Updown ... me likey  :icon_thumright:

 

[DangerousR6]

I would name that "Shimmer"..... :headbang:

That's just insane quilting.... :headbang1:
