PURPLE! WENGE! EBONY!

[Great Ape]

Wow, did this little strat turn out nice! Not something I would have thought of doing a year ago, but this dang forum keeps giving me new ideas...sooo...
    Quilt maple on swamp ash; purple dye w/trans purple back
    Duncan Seth Lover p-ups
    Gotoh 'vintage' trem
    Gotoh sealed small-button tuners
    Q-parts 'purple pearl'/epoxy knobs
    3-way selector
    Wenge neck; '59 roundback, 1 5/8'' nut, Warmoth compound radius, 6150 frets, ivoroid binding 
Just a real pretty, lightweight Strat-style guitar...gorgeous finish work as usual by Warmoth.

Oh, and a black ebony fingerboard w/mop dots...sorry 'bout that.

No, no, no--that was a showcase body! Mother Nature does quilt just fine without me messin' around!!

Well, that's beautiful. I don my hat that I may tip it to you, sir!

Thank you--that's an oldie that's a goody! It's one of those ''Why haven't I been playin' this more often?'' thingies whenever I pick it up...
