So I've looked at Warmoth stuff for ages but never pulled the trigger. I've been playing guitar/bass about 26 years and really wanted a Mustang for a bit now, however my options from Fender are rather limited. There's very few choices for MIA and the MIM all seem to be in color/fretboard combos that I simply cannot do.
I've thought about buying a vintage one from the 70's but wouldn't want to do that and then swap out the pickups since I need a noise-cancelling option.
My main hang up... is the price. For a body and neck the way I want them, I'm looking at $900 shipped plus about $500+ for hardware/pups.
Now yea, I think its well worth it for the extra $200 over a new MIA Fender to have all the options I want... however $1400 on the used market can offer a lot of really nice guitars.
American tele's are in the $800 range, 70's SG, 90's PRS ce, Heritage, G&L ASAT etc.
FWIW I'm thinking rosewood neck/fretboard, no inlays, reverse headstock.
Purple frost body, black pg, chrome hardware since i cant find a black bridge anywhere...
likely dimarzio tonezone bridge and bc neck OR Fralin/kinman noiseless p90's
