Was having a really sh*t day today so I was delighted to open the door and find me second box from Warmoth this week :) I love this body, its absolutely flawless!

Just waiting on my solid rosewood neck which was shipped yesterday. This is gonna be a beaut!
 
Congrats on the new baby! That IS gorgeous! Warmoth bodies are sooo satisfying, aren't they?

This is seriously becoming addictive. Two weeks ago I was thinking about replacing a dull looking std Strat body with a surf green body and since then I've bought two bodies and a neck. I've also made plans for a Tele and a LP.
 
Oh wow, stunning.  The finish and masked binding look incredible, congrats on scoring that body!

Thanks man. The moment I saw it in the showcase I bought it without even checking its specs, there was no way I was gonna let anyone else get in there before me! Good thing too, this was one of four similar bodies posted at the same time and they seem to have all been snapped up pretty fast.
 
Nice double up @mataguri  2 x Hums yum yum  :icon_thumright:

I know the feeling, as do many here. All those dream guitars you never thought you could have are suddenly within reach and once you actually see what you can easily get, you want it all. $6,000 custom shop guitar configured exactly the way you want it? No problem. $1,200 or so, and you can nickel-dime it to life one piece at a time so you don't have to have $1,200 up front.

As a European its even sweeter due to the Strength of the Euro. An American Std Strat is currently €1,168 over here. This body and neck have barely set me back over €500 including shipping. Factor in another €250 for pickups/bridge/machine heads and im still saving over €400 euro for a custom shop quality guitar. Unbelievable!! 
 
Every time you talk about this body is like a punch in my face  :dontknow:
You have anticipated me with that body, I can not thinking ...   :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

(note: congratulations, it's beautiful)

Yip!

The £ is even better. £350 I paid for and that included everything including the electronics and pickups, just need the bridge and body which will set me back about £500 and thats £850 for a beasting custom build :) Can't beat it at all.

Sorry Bruno :) If it makes you feel any better my next Warmoth build is gonna be a Tele so I wont be stealing anymore Strat bodies from you  :doh:
 
Well, I'm glad The One is making somebody happy. Things get much worse here, and he's gonna find out what 300 million people can do with a billion guns. The official unemployment rate is 9.2%, but the actual number is probably closer to 20%. They don't count unemployed people who've given up looking for jobs or can't collect unemployment insurance any more, which keeps the number artificially low and is a huge section of the population. Since the housing market got destroyed and is continuing to drop, the inflation number is being artificially held up, so things look good on paper in that regard, but in reality the cost of goods are going up and the value of the dollar is going down, yet he wants to print more money and dilute the supply some more, even as entitlement costs are skyrocketing.

Just. Plain. Stupid.

A first year economics major - hell, most high-school students - could tell you we're doomed to failure. When your indebtedness is so high that your income won't cover it and you have to borrow money just to pay the interest, and your money is so worthless that the prime rate is hovering around 0%, you know you're in deep, meaningful sheep dip. It's a snake eating its tail.

So, get while the gettin's good. This can't last. Eventually, Warmoth has to replenish their materials stock, and most of the woods they use have to be imported. That means their prices are going to have to go up, since their suppliers aren't going to take scrip.
