Want your guitar to be famous?

[DangerousR6]

Nice, i dig the unfilled burl top... :headbang:

I have my Bari-Tele with the buckskin application.
It all started by Ken Warmoth walking up to my desk one day when I worked there 2008-2009 and handed me the neck to inspire a project.  This guitar is very special to me because of that memory, especially now that Ken is no longer with us, R.I.P.

 

[Steve_Karl]

Yes.

 

[aarontunes]

What about ones that Warmoth no longer offers.... :dontknow:

Nope, has to be current offerings.

 

[aarontunes]

Sure I'll play along with couple unique designs that don't piss off Fender/Gibson:

And if you guys hurry up rebuilding my neck I might even have time to complete this :

Some of these could certainly work. The VIP and the first Soloist would be great! Got print quality files you could send?

I am doing a series of magazine ads this year that will feature full builds, and I'm looking people who have a guitar they would be willing to feature. No compensation, no nothing except the thrill of potentially seeing your guitar in the pages of Premier Guitar.


Specifically, I am looking for:

• Both neck and body need to have been made from Warmoth parts. Even a body or neck blank qualifies.
• No Strat or Tele-style bodies, unless there is something really unique or cool about it.
• No Fender-trademarked headstocks.
• The more interesting or "out there" the better.
• You can supply a well-lit, print-quality photo, straight on from the front, that can be removed from the background.

Any takers?

Awwwww. You had me right up until the 3rd bullet point. I suppose we musn't make the Fender Custom Shop nervous...

As far as an interesting story: I even had the artwork I created for my guitar stolen by the Royal Airforce Museum in England!

This is one of my all-time fav's, but I wouldn't have been able to use to use it.


It would have meant getting to meet the only members of the Iron Maiden team that I never want to meet.

 

[aarontunes]

Yes.

Is that nylon strings? I like this. Again....need print quality, well lit, straight-on front shots. Got any?

 

[aarontunes]

How about something completely different?  I started with a Warmoth body blank and paddle headstock.  Already have a bunch written up on it already with lots of pics along the way, etc.  I also have a green screen that I can shoot against.

Hmm....this might be a little too outside.

I considered submitting my Jazzmaster build until I realised I don’t have any really high quality photos. Can’t get any in a hurry either as it’s grim weather where I am, so dark and dull - hardly the flattering lighting needed to make it shine...  :doh:

Yo, the "docteur" in! he's pretty much the only guy who actually met all of AA's criteria lol

Yeah well... At least my cat is better looking than his.

I'm not sure, you haven't seen my 2nd cat LOL:

Yes, I can generate the full resolution ones and PM you once ready.

Email sent (via the UWF email messaging option).
I you need them in a less processed form (flatter color/tone curves) I can share those as well. Thanks!

 

[aarontunes]

Got 'em...thanks! I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[aarontunes]

Seems like some of Fat Pete's creations would also qualify.


You there, FP?

 

[swarfrat]

Whatever be ye speaking of? Yeah, definitely Pete you need to toss up some offerings.I even flipped these right side up for ya.

 

[TBurst Std]

Who suspects AA is trolling for new build ideas LOL.  :toothy12:

 

[ghotiphry]

I'd bet dollars to donuts the Great Ape has something worth submitting. He may favor the strat headstock...

Also, aguyinaustintx's carved-top koa.

 

[swarfrat]

Yes. He is one of the Greg's I spoke of. (The other being Tonar)
