My charvel spectrum has a similar look and i love it it grew on me like a big wart on Jerry's butt.

Itsabass, you definitely have me thinking...

What about something like this? '51-inspired, but custom lines throughout



I think it turns me on a little

EDIT: Ok, maybe a lot

That's pretty much where my mind was going. That looks great!

Re: Spontaneous Warmoth Build...Something A Bit Different!

Well, dang...now I have two useless Warmoth pickguards and I need to find someone with pickguard-making skills!

Itsabass, you up for a challenge?

Re: Spontaneous Warmoth Build...Something A Bit Different!

Where are you located? (You can PM me instead of posting, if you want.)

That is a shame to completely cover the wood grain of a Roasted body! But still should be a cool project!

I anxious to hear how the roasted Alder body sounds. I recently purchased a roasted Adler neck for a build I haven't started, and I've never touched or even seen a smoother, faster, better looking neck. I might like to try a girlfriend made from roasted Alder next.

Roasted Alder for a neck? Or Roasted Maple?

It's a little odd for sure. I can kind of see the merits, but, yeah, a thinner and/or more natural finish would have been my personal choice.

Still, I think it's going to an incredibly lively guitar! Between this neck and the body, I don't think I've ever been quite as excited to see how a guitar plays/feels once put together!

Re: Spontaneous Warmoth Build...Something A Bit Different!

Definitely! Is the neck roasted too? (sorry if I missed that detail)

All of my Roasted wood guitars are light and resonant.

Looking forward to the end result!

This is gonna be one of the best hybrids I've ever seen!

I really like that even though it ticks pretty much every box I have for things I don't like in a guitar. Funny how that works, isn't it? The whole is greater than the sum and all that...

I get it, sometimes I find myself drawn to designs I would usually never pick out on my own, but when seen as a whole, it somehow makes sense.

No, the neck is just standard quartersawn Maple, but it's an unusually substantial piece. I have at least 3 other Warmoth necks and none of them feel like this one, even though they are all maple (some quartersawn) with the same thickness/carve/profile!

I like Floyded "super" strats and Teles and Warmoth's normal "Hybrid Strat" on their own, but never would have dreamed up combining a bit of all of them into one guitar. Like you, I think it's just odd enough to work!

Yeah, this is definitely one of those cases!

*BUMP*

Inquiring minds want to know if it's taken off the ground yet.

FWIW, I REALLY like that mockup of the pickguard on it, it just, works!
