Warmoth #2 - Purple Strat NEW PICS WITH NECK!!!

[MUYFUE]

The black guard would only work with the maple neck I think.

^Ohhh, That's nice too!


I can't get away from thinking black pups look cool on vintage pearl!

It's like white or cream would be too, "blah"


That may, in fact be the way to go!

 

[Orpheo]

I'm glad I went with raw the first time around... Now I don't feel regret about having necks which require a finish  :laughing7: but canary is very nice aswell.

I say have a canary rock made and go with the white pearloid guard.

the rosewood looks great on it!! you may also consider all pau ferro

Looks awesome and I wouldn't be much worried about the fatness, you can get it fine with the pickups choice!

I would stay with the lighter toned neck woods to give it some contrast. That rose wood is too dark no matter which pick guard you go with.

 

[Mor Paul]

Perhaps a toned down neck would be best. Give the guitar a focal point (the top), and not just the equivalent of

The rosewood looks sweet!

I say go with a nekked neck like Goncalo or canary..

I would go with Canary, but they are out of stock and the showcase doesn't have any Canary or Goncalo conversion necks.  :sad:

Here are all the other pics from the listing:

I don't like it with pure white, it's gotta be cream.

What do you need a conversion neck for? :icon_scratch:

Is it not 25.5 scale?

 

[hannaugh]

My hands are small.  I can't physically reach the fret with my pinky to play the main riff of Kashmir on a Fender scale, and that's just not acceptable.  I can do it on a Gibson scale neck though, just barely. 

 

[DangerousR6]

Bummer, goncalo or canary would be the ticket...... :sad1:

I gotta be honest here, when I heard "Purple body with a Vintage Pearl scratch plate" I thought I was going to throw up in my mouth a little. Then I looked at the photo you posted of that exact combination and I was like "DAAAAAAYYUUUUMMMM, THAT IS BAD TO THE BONE!!" That is one fine looking guitar you are going to have. Great choice on the vintage pearl to go with it. I never would have thought to put those 2 colors together but they really do work out very very well. I'm looking forward to seeing this in it's various stages.

I like it best with the white pearloid in that first pic above. ^^^

Agreed 100%. That maple neck version is sweet. Also, even though I do like the the white pearl pick guard, I think I'd stick with that vintage pearl you originally chose. The vintage pearl goes really well with that natural binding. It would blend well with a maple fingerboard too.

I think a black pickguard would actually make the binding "pop" a little better.  The binding and cream pearloid pickguard are both lighter than the body color, making them hard to distinguish.  With a dark pickguard, the lighter masked binding would stand out more, IMO.

Max, make it so.
