Warmoth Les Paul #7: flamed maple blue dye

[Orpheo]

I wanted a blue les paul for a long time, but for me, I needed a blue AND green one, at the same time, otherwise it would've been a no-deal...

so, I sold 2 gibson LP customs, and with that money, I bought this blue one first.

the specs!

5A flame, blue dye with black burstover
lip over binding
transparant back, mahogany
zebrano neck, 5 piece, with bloodwood spacers
ebony board
zebrano trapezoid inlay
air norton pickups

and boy, does she sound GREAT! just like an older gibson LP, or a 6000 EURO LP standard, customshop 1959 reissue, but better! more TONE, more tight, more AIR, more crunch, more smoothness, more in every aspect. oh, and yeah, I forgot to mention: its a solid mahogany back, and the entire guitar is less than 4 kilos!

she plays very, very smooth, and the 6100 frets are seated nicely on the fretboard, no gaps whatsoever. the feel is very vintage-y with a modern vibe, and everything I want it to do, she can do it. from heavy metal to funk to blues. the air nortons are really awesome in this guitar.

Beautiful, nice clean lines.  I love it dude.  You NEED a blue and green one at the same time.  I'm gonna try that one.  If I don't post again, it didn't go well.

Oh COME ON

To be honest, when I saw the neck and body here at the shop, I wasn't too keen on the zebra blocks.  Seeing it assembled, I think the speed knob color ties in well with the blocks.  Looks great!

Oh COME ON 

I know right?  He's either Danish royalty or has credit out the wazoo.

What can I say?  What can anyone say?

Congratulations.  We all live through your experiences.

no no, I sold guitar for these 2, and saved up a LOT.

@wylee: yeah, these guitars, the green and blue, are the only ones you haven't had something to do with (regarding emailing or something like that). with all my others, you were involved somehow, somewhat. Sometimes I read the correspondance we had, and I can't help but feeling a bit embarresed... all those questions, changes, supplementals.  :hello2: ccasion14:

but this neck really, really plays great, and sounds awesome. Just plugged it in again, and boy oh boy, she ROCKS! I stopped playing the gibsons, cause my warmoths blow them away.

Beautiful guitar! Blue dye is awesome!  :laughing7:

Now this is a sexy maple top!  :icon_biggrin: Basically, this is a flawless Les Paul. They can come different, but not much better. Congratulations!

no, its going up again, we're just in league with the rest of the global economy.

but something else: I just ordered 2 others, the final 2 warmoths. there's no neck I can think off I would want, and no neck = no body, so, no guitar

 

[m4rk0]

so you are finally getting bocote and goncalo?????????

 

[blue313]

Seriously beautiful Lester!

 

[Orpheo]

so you are finally getting bocote and goncalo?????????

not available for angled neck, and yes, I do get them on another build, but not warmoth regarding the angeld headstock-necks, I still needed bubinga and purpleheart, and those will come. when I'm 'done', I]ll have the following:

indian RW
brazilian RW (2x)
wenge
padouk
zebrano
canary
ziricote
bubinga
purpleheart.

10 warmoth LP's in total, where 4 are fully exotic, and 6 are maple-topped and somewhat less exotic

Orpheo do you happen to have a picture with all your warmoths together.... it would be amazing to see...

 

[tfarny]

That may be my favorite LP I've seen here. Hard to say, there's some stiff competition but that thing is gorgeous.
