Unexpectedly cool or rarely ordered Warmoth finishes?

[PFDarkside]

What are some overlooked or unexpectedly cool finishes in the Warmoth catalog? I mean current production stuff you can get today.

Aaron’s video on candy green from 2020 was cool, you don’t see too many candy green bodies and it looked great. I see the showcase does transparent finishes over roasted alder sometimes which is a cool smoked out version of a typical transparent. The black cherry is a really cool finish that I only know looks awesome from Stratamania’s guitar.

Any cool finishes that don’t get their dues?

I was able to snag a one off mint flake a couple years ago, I wish they would make this one a standard option. Also their goblin flake is awesome in person hopefully they will bring that back

Why must you tempt me with unavailable options!

 

[Stratolorian]

Haha I know I'm sorry. I have some other finishes I'll post that are current

Here's few more that I don't seem to see very often.

Goldtop Gold




Sherwood Green




Pearl White

The gold top gold looks great. Anyone have any good pics of Warmoth's candy yellow? I read someplace, probably on here, that it looks pretty gold, and I'd love to see real-world pics.

Sherwood Green has to be the prettiest uncommon color in the Warmoth and Fender catalog. Doubly so when paired with a tort PG.

Sherwood green looks amazing in the satin finish as well.

Ok now we are talking! I was mulling both the Pearl White and Goldtop Gold. Sherwood is completely unlike Fender’s but quite nice!

While the general idea isn't exactly unexpectedly cool, I'm still pretty happy how the off-menu paint with a black dye top and a candy red back on my 7/8 build turned out.

And I'm really curious for the Spectra Blue, which is already on it's way.

@Stratolorian I love those gear shift knob switch tips!

Pearl white is amazing in person. Here's another one, it's a jazzmaster I got from a shop in portland, these are their photos and they portray it well.

@Stratolorian I love those gear shift knob switch tips!

Those gear shift knobs are are from Forney Custom on Reverb, they have tons of cool anodized aluminum knobs and stuff.

Here's a spectra blue Warmoth Z. It's looks like a navy blue in a dark room but under sunlight the metallic nature shines through.

By the way, what are all the pickup configs you have?

By the way, what are all the pickup configs you have?

The mint flake strat has a fender noiseless harness from a 2008 american deluxe strat, I just took out the single coil bridge and replaced with a Suhr Aldrich bridge that I put a no hole cover on and a Fralin pickguard. The neck is a Warmoth clampton strat neck

The Goblin Flake tele (chambered swamp ash) has a Van Dyke Harms tele bridge with a DiMarzio Chopper T bridge and Area T neck, 3 way swtich and tesi kill switch. Neck is Warmoth standard thin strat neck.

The Goldtop Hybrid has a Forney Custom tele bridge with a DiMarzio Tone Zone and DiMarzio Paul Gilbert mini humbucker in the neck. 3 way switch and tesi killswitch. Neck is a Warmoth Wizard strat neck, gibson scale with binding.

The Sherwood Green Hybrid has a SuperVee Maverick tele tremolo bridge, DiMarzio Chopper T and Area T neck.

Pearl White strat has Dimarzio Tone Zone bridge and Cruiser in the mid and neck. 5 way switch with tone push pull pot to split bridge and neck.

Pearl White Jazzmaster has a Seymour Duncan SH16 Custom Hybrid bridge and SD Jazz neck. the SH16 is one of my favorite bridge humbuckers it's perfect for me. I play mostly classic rock/metal.

The Z has Lace Alumitones with a 3 way switch. The neck is a warmoth warhead reverse 24 fret with a highly burnished roasted maple. Smooth as glass.

Another color I think is the best from Warmoth and Fender is candy tangerine. This is warmoth candy tangerine body, and warmoth neck with highly flamed anagre shaft and kingwood fretboard. I've had this neck for about 10 years or more I don't think they offer either of those woods anymore. Pickups are DiMarzio BC2 in the bridge and some vintage DiMarzio/IBZ C2 stacked single coils in the mid and neck. bridge is a SuperVee Bladerunner
