This guitar turned out way better than I could ever have hoped! I love the way the Flamed Redwood turned out with a natural finish. Plays like butter and the pickup combo is amazing! Warmoth did top quality job on these parts!

Very nice!
I haven't seen redwood as an option on Warmoths site. Was it a temporary thing they offered or were you able to place a custom order?

Thanks man!

Its not been an option for a long time–I bought this off of a guy who never started the project, old but brand new at the same time.

I really dig the 7/8 Strat size I just wish you could get that size with a Vintage Modern neck with the Fender scale. But the 7/8 Strat is still awesome!

I too dig the 7/8 Strat size, and it is the body I will buy and build eventually.
But I'm the other way when it comes to necks. I will actually put a 24" scale Mustang neck on that body.
I have finally found a way to get that. No other manufacturer that I know offers this.

Ah so you prefer the even shorter scale

 

[Logrinn]

Yes, exactly. It took me forty years to realize why I found certain guitars more enjoyable to play than others  :doh:

But, better late than never, eh?

Ha! Better late than never is right! lol

The main preference I have for a neck is 1-11/16 nut and 9.5 straight radius.

I prefer the Fender scale but the above combo works awesome on my Warmoth 7/8 with the Gibson scale.

A good thing Warmoth exists and gives us all these cool options.  :icon_thumright:
