Updown  :blob7:


I'll post before and after so you get to see how it changes from raw to Trans Yellow.
Dose look a little yellower than pic's show, seems more Golden Honey Yellow in pic's.
Still very happy  :icon_thumright:

And yes it just happen to be on the showcase at the same time as Ddbltrbl's BK
Will sure use Tung Oil on any other BK builds I do thou  :doh:

Yep, hands down no contest.

BTW, beautiful guitar. What are you doing for neck and hardware?

 

[mero]

the photos of it in the sun just remind me of rich golden honey  :icon_biggrin:

Normally I'm not a big fan of gold hardware, but it looks like it might be a great match for this body!

Duuuuuuuuuuude, I think you get the award for Warmoth-holic of the year... :doh:

Thats very funny !!

:icon_scratch:  No ….. about on par with last year.

Last year … 7 completed
This year so far … 2 completed (3 to put together, including this one)
About to push the button on a SG Build.  :doh:

Wait till I start on the Bass's  :icon_jokercolor:

Neck is here ....  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19397.0

Pups are Seymour Duncan
Screamin Demon (N)
Duckbucker (M)
Quarter Pound (B)

Either Black or Chrome ....... sorry NO Gold on this one. That'll please AutoBat  :icon_biggrin:

 

[Cagey]

That's a sharp body!

I wonder if that neck might be a bit busy against it, though. You'll have to put them together in the same shot.

 

[Updown]

Yeah … Don't worry I had that thought too  :doh:  was starting to think of good'ol faithful, Pau-Ferro / Ebony  :icon_biggrin:
But …
After looking at it a 2nd time it seems ok 

I'll post any other pic's in the build thread here … http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19397.0
It's night time here so pic's might me crap !!

That is a beauty! Is the orange streaking more prevalent in real life, or not so much?

All the same that thing still kills it.

Thanks  :icon_thumright:

:icon_scratch:  Ummm in a way …  Yes and No.

Those last couple of pic's in this post shown, are pretty much how it looks.
Just have a close look at before and after shots, at the orange bits.
But ....
Being Trans Yellow seems to blend the colours together a lot more, thats where it's lost some orange.

If it was Clear Gloss would have been a lot more prominent. (Like showcase ones are)
That really brings the orange out.
Or the use of Tung Oil like Ddbltrbl's beauty ...  http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19512.0
But I didn't want either of those  ...... :dontknow: ..... I like being different .... Plus I'd more than likely stuff that up  :tard:
I thought the Trans Red or Blue or any darker trans colours would have killed this top too.
 
All the sides almost look like a light colour clean mahogany, except the bottom edge where some darker bits of BK shows.
Weight was 3 lbs 11oz.
Also a very even well matched back and front  :headbang:  ….. hard to see the centre join. 
Can only notice it from the bottom edge.

Over-all it is a top class job by the team at Warmoth  :icon_thumright:  ..... as always !!

Thanks .... Updown's very happy  :blob7:

 

[Ddbltrbl]

That's going to look amazing with that Bocote neck!!  ccasion14: :guitarplayer2:

 

[Tipperman]

They look real nice, Updown. When are they shipping my way?
