The Flamecaster - Second Warmoth Project DONE

I finished the body. Sanded with 12000 micromesh, then put four thin coats of tru-oil on and let it hang for 5 days. Then lightly sanded with 12000 micromesh, then Finesse II and 5 coats of Zaino. Its not perfect, but I'm happy with it. The neck and pickups, etc. will be here next week so I should be playing it late next week.

Just great! Your finish really compliments that pau neck ... nice work  :icon_thumright:
 
Got it all finished today. I ended up wiring it with two push-pull pots, one that splits the humbucker, and one that turns the bridge PUP on in the 3,4, and 5 positions. It works great and I really like the extra tones.

I am again amazed at the level of quality from Warmoth. The fit, feel, and tone of this instrument is better than any strat style guitar I've ever played. The bridge pickup sounds amazing and can really pull off some hard Les Paul style tones. The Lollar Blackface single coils are ridiculously good. So good I can't wipe the smile off of my face. As promised, the Pau Fero neck is insane... so smooth and fast.

I couldn't be happier with the way this one turned out. Now I just need my custom neck plate (ordered) and headstock decal (custom, on the way).
