NGD. Warmoth goodness

[tubecrunch]

Greetings. Been lurking here for quite a while. Time to share. Discovered at the tender age of thirty something that I like teles. Played an LP my whole career and can't get used to the tele body shape while standing up. Here's the short version:
Warmoth ash body finished by RS Guitarworks
Warmoth goncalo alves/pau ferro neck
Callaham bridge
BG 1400 pup
Hoping I uploaded this pic correctly:laugh2:

Upside is you can put a P-90 on it without routing exxcept for the parger pickup.. They make steel P-90 Tele bridges.

Re: NGD. Warmoth goodness

Thought I had a completely original idea until I did some research. Crook Guitars and a few other small companies make this style. Already had a neck and pup, just needed the body. Nobody wanted to make/give me one and I wasn't about to shell out $2g's + for a boutique build when I had all the parts... I splurged a bit on the finish.

And I already have the best tele p90 build ever. Squire Custom Tele with Duncan Designed p90s. Got it for $100 and it came with dice on the knobs. And it screams \m/.

Dumb new guy question. I hate not being able to see pics when I'm not logged in. How do I post a pic so everyone can see it?

Host it through a service like Photobucket, ImageShack, etc.

That is functional art. Superb!

Re: NGD. Warmoth goodness

Thanks for the love. Forgot to mention the wiring. Vol push/pull bypasses the vol/tone circuit. Tone p/p wires it in parallel. Gets a convincing single coil tone in parallel. 500k pots and a .015 cap leaves lots of room on the tone knob to roll down. Rs Guitarworks did a splendid paint job. Talked to them about copying a PRS finish and they pretty much nailed it. Looks a little less red in person.

Just for poops and giggles I want to get a maple neck on there this weekend and see what happens.
