Padouk and Wenge V

[riverbluff]

Well finally got motivated on my next build.  Padouk V with Tung Oil finish and Wenge/Ebony neck.  

Going with chrome hardware and P90 pickups.  Gonna try some Guitarhead pickups that I got at a good price.  They sounded great in a guitar a buddy has.

More pics as the build goes along.

Got it figured out...You just cut and paste straight from Flickr now, don't use the insert image buttons on the board.

WOW WOW WOW

I'm not sure on the W headstock on it, but it's looking killer anyway!

This will demand vids and sound of this evil baby!
With the mean Tele and this one, I might say you're a guy of GREAT taste...

I still need to wire it up and then final set up.

So far I'm very pleased with how it is turning out.

Wow.  I mean...  Wow.  That looks amazing.  I absolutely love the Warmoth headstock on a V.  Very classy.  I'm a fan of P-90s as well. 

I didn't know you could have a V done in Padouk.  the Wenge neck looks distinct and uncompromising against the Padouk.  I may have to copy you, young man. 

One hundred thumbs up from Far East Kansas, my friend.
