Mowing lawns is how I got my laptop and my guitar

Thanks everybody, WOW.  ccasion14:

I think next month should be a Les Paul shoot-out!!!!  :toothy11:

 

[dmraco]

next month is owner finished...
I am considering changing this up a bit...

The change would be two categories:
      Owner finished...this means the owner...YOU finised the guitar...
      Non owner finished...this will include finised by both WARMOTH and other pro-finishes.  If you had you guitar finised by someone who does it for a living or is a pro painter etc...that guitar goes here.

I want to make sure we give props to those who do finishing as well as that who have the vision to purchase a killer body and assemble a killer looking guitar.  Neither is better than the other...I simply think it is worth seperating based on the feedback I have recieved.

Additional thoughts are welcome...this is OUR contest...not mine!  If it was...I would have won by now!!! :laughing8: :laughing8:

PLEASE>>>>>We need more BASSES too!

I know "Burn Unit" is such a badass guitar, but how could you not vote for yourself....... :doh:

Well to put everybody at ease, I only have two Warmoth's (for now) and they have both won (back to back) Warmoth finished GOTM votes. So it's anybody's game next month.  ccasion14:

Thanks again everybody.

I voted for mine when I built it, and wouldn't change a thing, but c'mon.  I'm trying not to be biased, and I thought he the best finish of the one's shown.  Does that mean I want an Amber flamed top with a transparent Brown burstover?  No.

I did!!!  They sound and look so fricken cool!  I finally got it back from the shop (I tried doing the wiring, it didn't work, I got frustrated and took it to my tech... who then went through 10 different diagrams before he found one that worked) and I got it all set up last night.  The Jimmy Page wiring is a lot of fun to play with.  I haven't had a chance for some photos yet, but probably will snap some tonight or tomorrow.  I think I'm going to take it down to my local GC for a real test drive with different amps tomorrow.

Okay here's a teaser.  It's dark out now, so the lighting isn't so great, and using the flash just kills it in my opinion.  But this pic ain't too bad.  More to come later.

Looks great, how does it sound?
