Red flame maple Warmoth Soloist (w/ pickguard!)

[Endnote]

Haven't really seen many of these and I figured I'll show how these babies turned out. Props to Warmoth for finally bringing these to the market. I've always disliked direct mount pickups and had no love for pickup rings on single coil size pickups, so previous incarnations of the Soloist kind of left me wanting something like this for years. But enough about me already. The neck I already had and all that matters from the neck is Arcade headstock/quartersawn maple, 59 roundback, and clear satin/black gloss painted headstock. The body is extra light alder, flame maple top all in red dye/transparent red, Seymour Duncan Hot rails neck/Cold rails neck/Hot rails bridge, in C Standard tuning.

Love it. I'm thinking of doing a top-rout Soloist with a Meadowhawk neck, so this gives me some idea of what to expect.
