And here it is:

The Warmoth body is more than the entire Fender guitar. Snork the Bipper? On the other hand, this from Fender:

Fender decided to outfit their Starcaster with a pair of their Wide Range humbuckers. By nature, these humbuckers have a gentle, wide-open sound that responds well to brighter overtones. They also break up into a satisfying growl when pushed hard.

I'd have a real problem with pickups that growl and distort. Of course you could always try a Tusq pick to fix it - they have built in tone.

 

[KKorina]

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing more soon.

 

[greywolf]

2 thumbs up!

Bum! Eagerly awaiting the candy red with white binding!  :sign13: HS config!

Sounds like you'd need a new muffler.  Maybe adjust the timing.

That would be sharp. Shame they don't offer binding on the f-holes.

It would have to be a genuine signature Joe Bonamassa-approved Tusq pick. Otherwise, fuhgeddaboudit.

Rear access to the controls is mighty convenient. Anyone who has ever fished an assembly of wires, a swith, 4 pots and a jack thru the f hole of an es can appreciate that feature.

Amen, I have a 1950's or so Aria Hollowbody that I replaced the pots on years ago would have loved the rear access on that pup.

This! Throw in the American Standard hardtail bridge rout and that's a total win. I've gotta say though, I'll be putting a standard Strat headstock on mine.

 

[mayfly]

all I have to say is  :hello2:  ccasion14:

 

[bbl4ck]

I don't know if I will be putting a Strat headstock on mine, but it certainly won't be the Mooncaster neck!
I love the body, but that neck is fugggly :sad:

It just needs a Floyd!  :guitarplayer2:

 

[Updown]

:dontknow:  This body doesn't interest me at all. The neck is Fugly  :sad1:

Wouldn't the Vortex neck look better on the Mooncaster  ?

Back to the Tele's and Strat's for me.  :icon_thumright:
Or
Maybe about time for a Bass build.  :icon_scratch:

 

[Cagey]

Maybe about time for a Bass build.  :icon_scratch:

I agree; the Mooncaster stuff isn't very inspiring. Also, what would be wrong with a nice bass? I've been impressed with the Gecko ever since I saw the first one. Makes me wanna play bass. Except, I have a decent bass and I don't play it. Then I remember - oh, yeah! I don't care to play bass.

Sorta the same way with acoustics. I love the things - the way they sound, the way they look - but even even a very nice acoustic is a chore to play if you spend most of your time on an electric.

 

[alterbridgefan]

Eh.... Not too impressed, although if I could find out where the chambering is, I could mod its shape into something pretty cool.

There's always lollar and Novak. Both will wind replacements for WRHB's. Also, Ken does rewinds, might be worth asking about.
