Warmoth guitar finally ready! [Not 56k friendly]

Collected my guitar from Derrick Nelson today, over the moon with it. Would not have attempted to put this together myself as the neck wouldn't fit onto the body originally, and the frets needed levelling.

Oooh, that looks freakin' nice! Gorgeous quilt on it.

Rustar · 25-10-2007 04:38PM

Speshul! Can I have it?

Patricide · 25-10-2007 04:39PM

+1, god that quilt is insanely nice. What is the story with the nut? what kind is it? Its one sweet ass guitar.

unclebill98 · 25-10-2007 05:00PM

Very nice.

Dord · 25-10-2007 05:29PM

Thats awesome!!!!!

I can't recommend Derrick enough, he's awesome and a really nice guy. He even offered to give me a lift home!! although I was going the opposite way so I didn't take up the offer.

DeadSkin · 25-10-2007 05:37PM

That's stunning, gotta love that gold hardware

Dord · 25-10-2007 05:50PM

Oh yeah, g-man!

on the subject of gold hardware, you should check out Optima Gold strings. 24K Gold coated strings, Brian May uses them. I do too, although on one of my basses. They look hot with the Gold hardware.

you can get them on http://www.saitenkatalog.de

Wow! Beautiful woods and finishes! How does it play?
Why didn't the neck fit onto the body?

It wasn't me! · 25-10-2007 06:22PM

That is absurdly pretty, kudos, comrade.

Morf · 25-10-2007 06:33PM

Sweet!

Yakult · 25-10-2007 10:05PM

Sex.

Only word I can think of. haha

feylya · 25-10-2007 10:08PM

Shame you couldn't do it all yourself but that's absolutely gorgeous!

Ancient1 · 25-10-2007 10:15PM

Oh my god...

I'm never talking to you again, man. Ever.

The_g-man · 25-10-2007 11:50PM

The nut is an lsr roller nut, suits me more than a floyd, and with the wilkinson tremolo it's a nice combo for tuning stability.
The neck wouldn't fit into the body with the laquer on there, so Derrick had to file the laquer slightly to get it to fit. If I had attempted that or left it with any of the shops in town to try, maybe the neck would have still been fine but I could have had a nasty crack running up through the laquer.:(

I think having some silver on there makes the rest of the gold hardware jump out a bit more too.

Got to play it for a while on Derricks retro looking Mesa amp, it sounds so sweet, and already has a real comfortable feel. Hopefully I'll get a good bit of time to play it here tomorrow.:D

Ancient1,now you're just being mean.:p

Quattroste · 26-10-2007 07:40AM

WOW! That is real real real real nice man! I'm with Ancient!

Just a quick look at the pics again and then that's it. Oh man, that's so nice.

Johnny Storm · 26-10-2007 11:57AM

The completely plain headstock looks very good too. (surprisingly to me)
I'm guessing the tuners must be staggered?

-=al=- · 26-10-2007 12:09PM

Its gorgous,

id be scared to play it

It looks like the kind of guitar you should be playing while sitting down on a stool.

Kenny_D · 26-10-2007 02:22PM

Very very nice. Congrats

BostonB · 26-10-2007 03:05PM

Not my cuppa tea but it looks fantastic. Let us know how it plays.

Dregon · 26-10-2007 03:22PM

Very nice. Treat her well;)

Creamy Goodness · 26-10-2007 05:55PM

that's quite possibly the nicest quilt on a strat ever.

Doctor J · 26-10-2007 05:56PM

Very, very nice, but you should've put it together yourself, it's not that hard.

Build another one yerself as penance

The_g-man · 26-10-2007 10:19PM

Thanks guys but I don't think I'm allowed any more guitars in the house for a good while.:rolleyes:

Promise to update with pics of the other guitars early next week.

Creamy Goodness · 26-10-2007 10:59PM

just to say your case is lush too, you can't beat a tweed case with crushed velvet on the inside.

The_g-man · 26-10-2007 11:19PM

Icing on the cake Cremo, half the reason I got suckered in to buying a Peavey Classic 30 last year.

I think I'll get a case like this if I ever build Doctor J's penance guitar.:p
