Not really sure on the body style or headstock style yet. I own a Warmoth Tele from 2005 that I will "pair" this new guitar with; they will be buddies. I also own a Norlin Les Paul that this guitar will replace as a workhorse guitar; my Gibson is becoming a little too special to me.
What I know for sure- it'll have a maple body, 25.5" maple standard thin neck, ebony fretboard, probably SS6105 (unless Warmoth makes a 6130 in SS) and EMG Hx/Sx 18v in the bridge and middle, nothing in the neck.
I'm not sure if I want to copy my Les Paul radius (which has a Norlin thin neck) or my Tele radius, it might be dependent on the fret wire...but also like the idea of taking a chance on one of those compound radius' things Warmoth specializes in. I'm also keen on the roller nut but might go a graphtech style nut...
I bounce around the Tele and Jazzmaster style body mostly concerned with comfort and a bit of variety but I really know that I can rely on the tele body as I already own one and am happy with it. I also bounce around the Angled Strat, CBS Strat, Arcade and Slapshot, it's purely a an aesthetic choice for the headstock. All the color stuff still is undecided, I'll be doing that all myself... not much of guy sold on looks.
My inspirations are all over the place, that might dictate the looks...I don't know. I primarily compose original stuff and it usually doesn't reflect my influences. When the virus lets up, I'll be gigging with this guitar.
