Nice Strap!

Can't quite make out the maker...brand please?

And that looks like it will be an awesome guitar!

The strap is from Original Fuzz, a company out of Nashville I just recently found out about. The straps in this collection (Peruvian collection) are made on looms by hand for them. It has a nice soft feel to it.

Thank you for sharing! I really like the looks of those–enjoy!

A smallish box came on the UPS truck today. Except for the pickups (which I bought direct from Seymour Duncan), body and neck and the bridge, it contained my new guitar. Body - with Wilkinson bridge, and neck arrive in two shipments Monday and Tuesday; then it all goes off to John Wescott, my super-tech, who builds these things for me. Here is the box 'o parts:

For some reason, I always find it more exciting to get small boxes full of goodies (hardware). There's so much to look at... lol  :laughing7: I'm interested in seeing how this turns out!

Today: the body (all 3 lbs 3 oz of it) and Wilkinson bridge got here:

tomorrow the neck, and it all goes to the tech!

I really like that finish. Nice color.

I think that's the thing I'm looking forward to almost the most about the first ever Warmoth guitar I will eventually do. The unboxing of the body and neck. That body is beautiful.

That finish turned out extremely well! Gonna be an awesome guitar!

Beauty choices, Mike, as usual.  You manage to take the (comparatively) pedestrian parts and turn them into works of art.  Looking forward to the final product!

Thanks Ian. It all went to the tech today for the build. He normally finishes in two or three days, so I'm excited about it. I think this is going to be a good one.
