Re: NGD: Warmoth Carved Top Regal
I was comparing it to other Les Pauls today and realized Warmoth really made upper fret access easy on this new Regal design. It's the most incredible upper access I've ever played on for an LP style guitar. I can hit all the frets with ease and as I look at the cutaway I notice it's a few frets closer to the bridge than on their older design or other LP guitars. Plus I have the contoured heel in the back so those two things combine to make this one helluva playable guitar!

Haha, yeah I am! I thought about that too, but since I placed the order for the neck and body at different times I was worried the blue might not match. Hey, maybe I'll order another one in 5 or 6 years!

Wow, clean!
Never played a Voodoo but I also love the Raw Power series.
Btw is that a custom headstock? I like the multi-point/wave going on on the top.

Re: NGD: Warmoth Carved Top Regal
Thanks!
No, it is just the Warmoth design for the headstock on the Regal in their post-lawsuit era. I like it though, the whole lawsuit thing kinda bummed me out but I love the way the headstock looks like a crown and I love how their re-design of the LP shape led to upper fret access like I've never seen on an LP! I can reach all the frets without trapping my wrist against the horn which is awesome! Maybe the lawsuit wasn't so bad after all.

Thanks for the info!
Yah, I love the Regal shape. That horn looks more bold and sleek. Reminds me of the ESP Eclipse. And like you said, gotta love upper fret access!

No problem!
It definitely has more of an ESP Eclipse shape to it, it's kind of evil looking really.
