Robot? Not at all. This is very nice! :icon_thumright:
Since I'm pretty new to this forum I haven't followed all your Warmoth builds - and I understand they are numerous - but can you tell me a little about that guitar you are playing in the clip?
I find that green is a rare and at the same time beautiful color on a guitar body.
I know what my guitar to come will be like spec wise, but I haven't decided on the color yet.

Excellent. Yes, the buildthread is what I was looking for.
Which I now have read.
And again I must say, just what a beautiful guitar that is.
Do you find that this green one sound similar (acoustically, and by that i mean not taking the pickups into account) to your black one (the december guitar) as both have the same body wood? Or do you find that the different neck woods color the sound?

Thanks.
The tone thing is really difficult. Personally, I think the tone is about 90% pickups, which are then colored by the woods, if that makes any sense. I really like the combination of swamp ash and padouk. I have another guitar with that combination and it really has great acoustic properties. So does this one. Warmoth's page says the tone of padouk and maple are similar. Perhaps they are, but I think this combination of woods has different acoustic properties than swamp ash and maple, for example.
Does that make any sense?

Thank you and yes, it makes perfect sense.
It makes me realize that since I now here (at Warmoth) can get the type of guitar I always (unknowingly) been looking for, perhaps I shouldn't be too concerned with exotic and expensive wood types. Perhaps the thing for me is to get an alder body and maple neck and try some different pickups. At a later date, when the purse is sufficiently full again, I could try buying the same type of guitar, but just swap the neck or body wood type and see what result that would have on tone.
