Warmoth Project #2

[playas]

Ahem!

Pics?

Hit a little roadblock deciding how I want to direct-mount the pickups. I made a separate thread about it here. I see a few ideas of what I should do on other forums, but no perfect solutions yet.

I prefer 24.75" scale length (Godin Exit 22, Gibson Les Paul, Peavey Vandenberg) so I bet your project will be killer. That Velocity body is killer too. Nice project, waiting for the final pics.

9k seth in the bridge eh? betcha that will kick some ass. looks great dave!

Thanks! I didn't really specify the power of the Seths. I told MJ that I wanted them 4 conductor, and I was going to use them split sometimes, so that is probably why she upped the power. I hope to install them later this week.

There is literally nothing in this build that appeals to me and that's why I'm feeling so much GAS for this. I love how you are making something out of these items that's truly your own.

Haha! I figured- it is pretty different than any of your designs. So far, it is coming along just great. This is Karma trying to help but definitely not helping.

I am curious how the Velocity turns out in this build.
Been thinking about building a "sleek and fast" T-style Warmoth and the Velocity seems to fit that description but I don't see it very often in the wild.

Keep us posted of progress!

Here is the shielding work (I put Schaller S Locks on, but I didn't take a pic of those).

This is before I covered the little shelf for the screws.

For copper tape shielding are you doing all the control cavity and pickup cavities?

Not the pickup cavities, since you would see them- the pickups will be wood mounted, and I don't want copper shining through. If there is a big problem with noise, I might get black shielding paint and paint the cavities.

So far, I connected the bridge, and the body to the neck. I am taking this slow, and working on 1 small thing every time I sit down. Tomorrow is strap locks, and might get to the copper tape.

That’s sweet.

. . . and those are some evil looking Seths!

I agree. And how apropos that the lettering on the box almost looks like "Seth Loner."

Cool project, Dave.
