Roasted Swamp Ash + Trans Red

[rgand]

I had to find out what it'll look like. So this morning I ordered a Jazzmaster in RSA with Trans Red finish. As long as I had Brian on the phone, I ordered a neck, too.

Now the waiting begins.... :icon_biggrin:

 

[ghotiphry]

Oh, baby.  I am looking forward to seeing this. :turtle:

 

[mayfly]

is the neck roasted maple?  :icon_thumright:

 

[bbl4ck]

I have wondered what that combo would look like...
Can't wait to see it  :blob7:
:rock-on:

Yeah, I may not sleep until it arrives.

You bet. Roasted maple/roasted maple.

If it comes out the way I expect, it should really look good.

Oh, boy! This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see how this turns out.

It's my first step out of Tele/Strat land other than one lawsuit LP years ago. This should be an interesting build.

It'll be fun to find out how RSA accepts transparent colors, too.

I haven't slept a wink since I ordered it. Of course, that was only this morning. :laughing11:

Oughtta be a fantastic build, looking forward to seeing it come together!

Thanks, I anticipate lots of fun ahead. I do intend to take my time on it. Of course, I can't do anything on it for a month or two.

Great to see that at least one of us has the balls, (and spare cash!), to go where no Warmoth build has gone before. Allow me to join the excitement, can't wait to see how it looks!

I was going to build a JM anyway. The color just puts a little mystery into the mix. I'm looking forward to finding out what I ordered.

That's where the "balls" part comes in. Warmoth doesn't exactly give their products away, so to not be able to see a preview of what to expect is quite a leap of faith :laughing7:

On the other hand, I've never seen anything from them that wouldn't make me very happy. Even colors I normally would never consider look good coming from them. I suspect yours is going to look like a rich, deep wine red and is going to be incredible.

That's where the "balls" part comes in.........

Exactly my point! Investing that kind of scratch, without knowing what the result will look like, is definitely "ballsy". I'm kinda hoping it looks like chocolate ice cream with cherry syrup. However it turns out, I just hope YOU'RE happy with the result.

The leap of faith comes from all the pictures posted on this forum. Like you, I haven't seen anything I wouldn't be happy with. I also expect a rich wine color but anything either side of that should still be great.

If it looks like that, my wife will want one.  :laughing11:

So there's good news and bad news. The good: order was shipped already. The bad: the order was recalled due to a mix-up somewhere along the line. The good: it will be turned around and shipped again sometime next week after it returns. The bad: I have to wait a little longer to get it. The good: it will be here sooner than I was expecting.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like. Photos to come when it does get here.

 

[ghotiphry]

Wait a second... Is this good news or bad news?  :laughing7:

 

[rgand]

LOL. In the end, it's good news. :icon_biggrin:

 

[aarontunes]

LOL. In the end, it's good news. :icon_biggrin:

I plan to get some photos of it as it boomerangs back through here. Would you like me to post them, or would that be stealing your thunder?
