I've always found the fascination with "reliced" guitars rather curious... Typically they don't look that much like a vintage guitar with normal wear, save the Custom Shop repros of the specific SRV #1 and Rort Gallagher axes.
Just build your own and drag it behind the car on a gravel wood....

Just drop by Guitar Center after Saturday afternoon "day care time" is over. Every guitar in the place will have been "broken in".

I like that idea too. It's truly yours. Something very neat and appealing in that. I'd still like one of those blonde Fender 50's Esquire models (around $600, I think), just because it looks so clean and classic.
But if I'm going to actually build something of my own, from Warmoth bodies, necks and hardware, then it's going to get the most obnoxious (or gorgeous, depending on your tastes) sparkle and pearloid appointments possible. Doesn't seem right to make something from scratch and have it be sedate, or to look like anything else out there.
:toothy12:
As gorgeous as they are, I'd never want to put together a Sunburst, Sonic Blue or Burgundy Mist Strat or Tele...I could go, tomorrow, and buy one, from the real company! But to get something from Fender with a little zing and flash, or a bit different from your stock, off-the-shelf Tele or Strat (color, electronics, hardware, body/neck combinations, etc.), you have to go the Custom Shop route. And what mortal has that kind of money? I sure don't...
:sad1:
Thank goodness for Warmoth in situations like this! I'd rather make my own Esquire, with the colors and looks I like. I couldn't buy a copper sparkle Esquire with white binding and a satin-finished vintage neck from Fender off the shelf somewhere, no matter how hard I looked.

I live in the Yukon Territory, we've got one crap guitar shop selling Yamaha's and not much else. Plus I'm a lefty, so I pretty much have to buy online.
I still like 'em used because when some of those necks get worn down they inspire me to play different chords and in different spots on the fingerboard.

Oh, it's too bad you can't come visit, I live about 30 miles from Southpaw Guitars. You lefties don't have to "settle" there.

Southpaw is exactly who I deal with! It's pretty sad when a guy from the Yukon has to look to Texas to find a decent selection of guitars. I still can't touch 'em though. Perhaps I'll plan a quick trip next year.

Ah yeah! Oz is halfway around the world, Texas is probably a $1000 flight. The question is do I spend $1500 or so on a trip to Texas PLUS the cost of my new guitar OR do I just deal with Jim at Southpaw online?
Are there any other lefty dealers? I can't seem to find any online. This is why I'm big on Warmoth and Carvin because they offer quality affordible guitars with loads of options and colours for us lefties.
