everywhere is cheaper. I mean, warmoth is great, it sure as hell ain't cheap though.

True. Allparts can go fuck themselves, too.

allparts and wdmusic are so overpriced, I don't know how they get any business at all.

Everything in the USA is cheap, it's like a massive half price sale getting $1.98 for a pound.

I'm in the UK so it might work out cheaper on the postage to get othet bits at the same time....we'll see, I always shop around anyway.

Warmoth unfinished necks are a great value for the money. I had a Warmoth neck and it was only $160, it was one fucking amazing neck.

Yea. I will one day build a Warmoth guitar, but it'll probly only be the body and the neck.

Guitarpartsresource.com I think is the best, as far as price and the ridiculous amount of shite they have.

That guitar is looking sweet! It's going to be a real beauty when it's finished.

We did the red tort pickguard last night by the way but Dead phone = no pictures.

The lacquer is coming along but not quite there yet, unfortunately because I'm very busy for the next month I don't think it'll be done in time for Doogfest.

you need to prioritize.

Post by **Mike** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 2:56 pm

I would but it's my friends' weddings and stuff.

Plus I don't want to rush it, I've been working really hard on this with my Dad.

How accurate is the colour? I remember the white tint seeming whiter. This almost looks like you just used clear. I like it a lot anyway, red tort was the right choice.

Post by **Mike** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:17 pm

This is quite representative, although it's not that white. the crap camera flash evens out the non natural light. It looks like a white tint, not like clear coat.

This:

for example really makes it look like clearcoat in the absence of flash and in soft lighting. When it's together I'll take some photos in natural light.
