A few pics of the body I just got from Warmoth. It's a 7/8 scale alder body with a pearl white finish. I'm still trying to figure out what pickups to install. I'm about to order a 24.75 scale birdseye maple/indian rosewood Warhead neck. I'm hoping it turns out as good as I think it will when it's all finished...

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
very cool
let us know how it comes out
reminds me of the valley arts guitar larry carlton was playing back in the 80s (7/8 size gibby scale board) ... i think he actually used EMGs in that era, iirc ... i bet a 59b and a pair of lil59s would be pretty sweet if you are going for that vibe
what kind of music will you be playing with it? what kind(s) of amp(s)?gear list in profile

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
I'm thinking a pickup set that will get me in the 80s rock sound, but will also do some heavy blues stuff. There are a lot of bands from that era that I like, so I'm not trying to get any one players tone. I'm just trying to find something that'll get me in the ballpark.

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
nice... years ago Warmoth offered that 7/8 stuff but for a long time they pulled it from their catalog... i was glad to see it's back... in the early 90's i was going to build a super strat out of the 7/8th stuff... but went with a full sized strat instead...Comment

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
ah, in that case, consider the JB (b) and hot rails (m) and (n) .. for a little different tone (perhaps a bit more van halen-ish, try a CC in the bridgegear list in profile

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
Aside from the availability of the smaller body, what advantage does this series offer over ordering a normal sized body with a 24 3/4" conversion neck? Are there other features that aren't an option on the standard line?Originally posted by WhoFan View PostComment

Re: Warmoth 7/8 Strat Project Pics
Fair enough. That's a good feature for some people. For me, the next time I put together a partscaster I'll probably just get a standard body and conversion neck. If for no other reason than to have replacement parts easy to find (i.e. pickguards).
I do really like that headstock shape though.Last edited by ibanezrocks; 08-01-2010, 10:42 AM.Comment
