[solspirit]

Tell us about the guts. What's the layout?

Volume/tone, w/5 way

Bridge
Outer coils
Both HBs
Inner coils
Neck

I am playing a lot of jazzy stuff on it. Yesterday I did the whole first set on the neck pickup and didn't bother switching.

How's the tuning stability with trem use? When I had a guitar with a Kahler (RIP) someone recommended that I try what you've got here, with locking tuners and a roller nut, but I never had the opportunity.

Wow, I love that! It's like nothing I would have thought to put together myself, but how friggin' cool!

Love that you went with the metal Warmoth logo and the scalloped frets fit the vibe somehow.

That is sleek! :notworthy

So far, so good. I like the ability to shim the nut easily if you need it, and the strings sitting on metal seems to be a closer tone to the tone of the fretted note. It takes awhile to set the LSR up to the right height, but once it is set, you never have to worry about it.

What is the name of that color?
It's almost the same exact color as my Ford Escape was, it was called bronze fire.

 

[NotDemanic]

Well, right now, I am using what I have. I might get a Custom Shop set made, and I am not apposed to the PATBs at all.

Have them make you some Fuglies.

 

[Securb]

Now that it is all together, I am really digging it.

Its called Cinder Red. Sort of an orange coppery metalflake. Looks great in sunlight.

Looks very cool, I think black pickup baseplates would make it look even better. Black frets one day, maybe...

Black baseplates should be the default color.

 

[jeremy]

is there such a thing as black frets?

 

[ICTGoober]

is there such a thing as black frets?

Not on purpose.

 

[ehdwuld]

Is that an LSR nut?

 

[Mincer]

Is that an LSR nut?

Yes, LSR, which is still in business. You don't see them as often as you used to. They were once available on Strat Plus guitars but not as popular now for some reason. They do work really well, though. I have them on at least 4 guitars now.

 

[ehdwuld]

I have one in a drawer somewhere
I was gonna put it on a strat but I lost interest in both at some point.

 

[Mincer]

Warmoth will do all the prep work for installing one, so I don't have to.

 

[ehdwuld]

I think I already prepared a shelf on money of my strats. I put a wd music roller instead
it's slots aren't deep enough
The high e keeps popping out

I think the lsr should cure that

Or that is what I imagined

I've never, ever had a string pop out on an LSR nut, if that helps.
