Finally got my magenta Soloist aka "The Magentalist" all together.

Its a warmoth two-piece mahogany Soloist body with high-grade quilt maple top and black accent stripe below the top with masked binding and Magenta burst finish. The neck is from Soulmate Necks and is a 7-piece flame maple with wenge and purpleheart stripes. Ebony board with flame maple binding and ebony accent stripe to match the body. Reverse headstock is a derivative of my Robin Medley headstock.
I have since installed a Gotoh tremolo with a Tremol-No. In case any one is wondering if a Gotoh fits into the Warmoth Floyd Rose route...... It does, but just barely. Dives with the trem would be fine, but pulls on the arm might be tight.
Pickups are Kent Armstrong in the neck and a Bareknuckle aftermath in all black in the bridge position.
I had Dave at Frets on the net provide me with a black brushed aluminum humbucker ring and a matching custom control cover.
Custom Warmoth neck plate cover and Onyx forge threaded screws holding the neck on.
Hipshot locking tuners
Chrome Warmoth logo
I am flip flopping between chrome hardware and black hardware at this point. I actually do have a chrome tremolo, control knobs and strap-loks, but it just didn't look quite right at first pass. Perhaps at some point I will switch out the tuners for black too, but I am enjoying it too much to fuss with things at this juncture.
Thanks for looking.
