Put on your sunglass, this thread is full of gold...

[VostreRoy]

So, I've received my parts from Warmoth for La Baronne, my Baritone Telecaster build. Here are the pictures gentlemen

Da box

The knife that will open da box

I'VE FOUND GOLD! GOLD! PRECIOUS GOLD!

Baritone (28.625" scale) Maple neck, ebony fretboard and medium size gold frets

On my original order, I've mistakely had put 2 sets of pickups. I contacted Warmoth to remove one set and add a 6 saddles vintage telecaster bridge. The did changed my order, but they sent me a 3 saddles. Not a real big deal, ain't mad at all, a little disapointed, but as I had made the original mistake, I'll take most of the blame (also, wich one do you prefer? The satin Fender or the full mirorred Warmoth (note: the Fender cost me 80$, the Warmoth is 23))

Thats it for now, I shall post picture of the building in my "La Baronne" thread.

Cheers!

If you're gonna go gold, do it big.
In regards to the bridge I'd go with the one that matches the rest of the hardware.
You can get compensated saddles to retrofit the 3 if you're after a little better intonation.

Love those gold frets.  I have them on 2 different necks.  I also have that same Peavy amp.

The shinny one, to match the rest of your hardware

I might check for the compensated saddles, Stewmac got them and I might have to do another order here soon enough. Thanks for the tip!

I love those frets too. First time I have gold frets and I'm really happy by how they are. And the Bandit 112 is a real nice room amp, versatile, maybe a little too loud, but nice overall

Yup, thats the one I'll be using, for that exact reason

Black 'n' gold 'n' lookin' bold. I like. And I take it from the fleurdelisé curtains that you're from Québec?

Thanks man. And yup, its a good guess, hailing from Rouyn-Noranda, mid-north of the Québec province

Nice. I'm in Québec City. :icon_biggrin: There used to be someone on here from the North Shore (Sept-Îles or Baie-Comeau I think), but I haven't seen him around for a while.

 

[VostreRoy]

Ahaha je suis déjà surpris de voir un autre québécois. Cheers man!
