Wholly Smokes! That is beautiful. Great job. The flame maple and the burst look, WOW. I also like the grain on the neck! Excellent.

Awesome work.  Warmoth call pull off a 4 tone burst like nobodys business!  :headbang:

One tip...you need more switches! :laughing3:  Just kidding.  I love those extra switches.  It keep guitar nuts like myself guessing....

 

[warcripp]

I LOVE THAT NECK!!!!

 

[back2thefutre]

How do you like the lil '59 pickups?

 

[ozyonum]

Well done! Very, very beautiful top and a sexy neck..  I really like HSS strats, and this one is giving me a serious gas.. 

 

[JaySwear]

How did I miss this one? One of my favorite Warmoth finishes. And I bet this thing is versatile as all hell

Cool guitar man, looks great!

Just curious how the mini switches work in that position?  I'm a triple mini+5way guy myself and put them behind the tone knob to keep them out of the way when playing.    Do you find they get in the way when playing, or does it help with faster combination switching?

 

[reluctant-builder]

Siiiick! Well done. That looks amazing.

Care to explain how the switches work?

Very sorry to all  :toothy11:  for delayed reply to this … been busy !!
Many thanks for your kind comments as well  :icon_thumright:

How do you like the lil '59 pickups?

Love it, I also have a Full size 59' in another guitar & really like the sound of these. I do like SD pickups  :toothy10:
Honestly the Combo of Little 59' (N) Screamin' Demon (M) & the Dirty Fingers (B) packs a great punch & get some really nice sounds with the switching.
(I had my doubts at 1st with the Screamin' Demon) to use in the (N) or the (M)  or even at all !!
Went with (M) & glad I did, it balances out nicely between the Dirty & the 59'

   
Do you find they get in the way when playing, or does it help with faster combination switching?

I don't play Live, only in a home studio set-up, so NO need for fast switching & NO they don't get in my way at all. I'm not a windmill player  :laughing7:

Just curious how the mini switches work in that position?

Care to explain how the switches work?

OK I just wanted to try something different ... Don't want all my guitars the same !!
They are all 4 conductor wired pickups (5 including the bare)
So I just used this  http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=ssp
To give me Series / Split & Parallel ..... OK sure some combo's might sound similar.
But there are some nice combo's, that I wouldn't have had other wise.

I'm very happy with this one  :headbang: neck is just beautiful  :icon_thumright: even had offers from people wanting to buy it  :icon_biggrin: .... must be the Custom Dougie Neckplate  :laughing7:

Thanks again all  :icon_biggrin:
