First of all, many thanks to Pabloman, who is sending me all the non-wood elements for this guitar body. Any unused parts will be available to anyone on the forum starting on their first Warmoth build, as will any parts that I replace later. Thanks Pabloman!
In Chronological order:
1. The Neck.
Im always watching Warmoth's Showcase, and over the last month, there was a huge influx of Pau-Ferro necks (my choice of neck wood). Imagine my surprise when a neck to my exact dream specifications shows up in the showcase! (I had let on to my desires here on the forum, and I know this place is "unofficial", but thanks to any Warmoth employees who may have given the nudge-nudge towards the new Pau-Ferro necks.) Anyhow, after some rather feeble debate over wether I should spring for the neck, I decided $380 now versus the $500 I would pay later (for a custom order of the same thing) was enough savings to warrant snatching this baby up. Without further ado:
pau-ferro on pau-ferro, Warmoth Pro, vintage oval tuners, SS6230 (vintage stainless) frets, Graphtech nut, 10-16 compound radius fretboard, mother of pearl dots:
