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.

yeah, I just ordered a trem arm for my mustang from Guitarpartsresource, I was looking for ages for a mustang trem arm when I found them there.

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

Burger me, I can't believe I've missed this thread! D: Looks like you're cracking along very nicely with it :D Can't wait to see more, and when it's finished xD

Holyshit, I nearly just spat tea out all over my desk..

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.

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.

That's beautiful. So is white, but that has depth.

Assembly time is soon.

Mockup pics for now.

Oh lordy.

Lovez it.

is it just me or is that control plate upside down?
that finish looks amazing mike, truely amazing!

hahah quite possibly, I just threw it together for the photo.

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.

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.

looks like all that time was worth it, beauty of a finish mike
