Oh, cool.

So.. you got it up and running for Christmas eh?  :headbang1:

At least, without the pots, you will be able to hear the pickup in all it's raw glory.

Love the way it looks matched (at least that's how it look sin the photos), even though it's walnut body and rosewood neck.

Lean and mean.  Looks awesome, man.  You'd have been the envy of all the kids in my neighborhood back when I was your age.  I really do think it's incredible to see someone your age with some perseverance.  Ya stuck with it and now go enjoy the fruits of your labor!

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Thanks louie!

Looks absolutely killer!  I'm glad to see this came out so nice after all that's gone into it.  :icon_thumright:

 

[Xplorervoodoo]

That is definitely one kick-ass soloist!  Congrats, dude!

 

[tfarny]

Looks amazing! Wow that's a quality axe for somebody of any age. NOW don't go and hawk it next year for beer money!!!!

 

[DocNrock]

You done good, man!  Very shredder-licious!  :icon_thumright:

Fuggin' A. That's cool as shit, man. Props Wana! :glasses10:
Nice build - simple yet, functional. I dig it! And like someone else mentioned the matching of the neck and body looks great. I love how simple that geet is. No "bells-n-whistles" just straight-up RAWK. arty07:

Yeah, I think I have a bit more common sense than my friends, they either buy a brand name guitar thats outrageously expensive that you could make from Warmoth parts and have money left over to make another one or buy a brand name guitar that looks cool, but sounds shite.

 

[RLW]

Once again, I just love this guitar. You really did an outstanding job.

With all of the no-nonsense, stripped down functionality, the tone knob almost seems superfluous.

 

[blue313]

I was thinking the same thing about the tone knob, but I guess it depends on how tweakable his rig is.

Fantastic work Wana, it looks incredible.

I agree with these guys a tone pot is superfluous with one HB... bung a kill switch in there.....

Can you post some sound clips?

Maybe in a week or less. And It might be a good idea with a kill switch for now.
