Want your guitar to be famous?

No kidding!  That is a wonderful representation of what our little coterie of mad-scientists can achieve with vision and support from Warmoth.  Although, candidly, the Fender headstock may be the kiss of death for Aaron's needs.

How about this one ? The Jazzbird.  It has a true Warmoth heritage.  Designed by me, hand cut by late Ken, finished in your paint shop and precedes the current JM or Jag bodies currently available.  It even precedes Fender/Squier Pawnshop series.


That is freaking epic....but can't use it, unfortunately.

Will a neck change to a Warmoth 3x3 or Warhead qualify it ?

No....I need to stick with products you can purchase currently.

Long story short in 2006, I was commissioned by a small Asian guitar manufacturer to design a guitar that is not Fender nor Gibson but with their characteristic.  I married the Jazzmaster and Firebird which became The Jazzbird. 

And now Deusenberg is joining your party:

Puts my mind at ease to know everyone, even the big boys, borrow ideas from classic designs and are not actually stealing to warrant lawsuit instances.

I'm still partial to my Bari-Tele due its unique characteristics, but mostly because the neck was a gift from Ken Warmoth to spearhead the project.  Since his passing in 2019, this guitar has largely been referred to as "Kenneth".

This is about as simple as it gets aside from the Bird's eye maple neck. The body is a carved top chambered Regal. Neck has black binding and satin nitro finish. Is this too plain?
