Would warmoth make my dream become reality?

[The Norwegian Guy]

As soon as we hit july, I get my bonus from the army. That bonus is 30,000 NOK (norske kroner) which is about $6000.
That bonus allows me to speed up my "tribute to dad" caster, which is a guitar I want to be as close to perfect as possible.

When that one is done, I will start on a new idea I got today while I was talking do Aprior Mark.
A rear routed strat with floyd rose, EMG's and a warhead headstock.

I just sent warmoth a mail, questioning them about this finish idea.
Blue dyed flame maple top.
Drop top natural masked binding.
Mary kay on swamp ash on the back.

A flame maple neck with a matching headstock (blue dye)
Warhead shape on the headstock.

Waddya think bout this one?

 

[Mor Paul]

That sounds like a good idea. It should look great.

 

[ORCRiST]

No way dude!

You've have 'Dave Murray Replica' on your list forever, and I'VE been waiting for you to 'get around to it' - and now you take it off the list and come up with this!

FOUL I say, FOUL.

:sad:

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

I can make more than just this one with $6000
just stay tuned, man! The murray strat is on my "things to do" list for 2011

[Nightclub Dwight]

Do both.  Invest some,  But that finish sounds amazing and just needs to be built.

im not convinced on the finnish. you'll need to build it to prove that it'll look good :icon_tongue:

no really though i don't know if i like blue and white together and i cant picture it with the different grain paterns and figuring all going on, you'll just have to show me.

Spike at warmoth answered my question.

"to Paint a body like that is going to be $220 (dye) +$65 +$75 custom color and prep).

I think that this will turn out great if the mary kay white is alpine white-ish. If the white is more of a cream or vintage, it'll just look weird
