NGD: Warmoth Regal... Another Singlecut

Sweet! I love how that 1st left-hand pic makes it look like there's chrome highlights on the saddles. That would be cool if you could actually incorporate that into them. But sweet, nonetheless. Enjoy.

Thank you! I never noticed that in the photo before you pointed it out, that would be cool.
 
I am also a huge fan of blue, with my #1 being a blue Music Man, with a blue Strat, and a blue Brian Moore in the stable. Is that blue actually a dye, or is it their transparent finish?

I am not sure. I ordered their transparent blue satin finish, so my assumption is that is what it is. If they use a dye to achieve the blue, it would not bother me at all because it looks very good.

Blue gear is definitely something I will always love!
 
Almost all dyes aren't impervious to degradation due to light. It's the finish on top of it that has to prevent it from discoloring because the finish on top should have the UV filters.
 
I used to love using hyperbole to prop my preferences up on a high horse. Over the years, I have been humbled many times over. What I do want to say after about a month of this guitar is it is balanced. It may be the most balanced LP-styled guitar I have ever played in my own hands, personally. It is very comfortable to play. Very lightweight.

As far as tone goes, this one nails it. Very versatile. I have always been fascinated with mixing different woods. Maybe that makes me a tonewood nut, but this combo of a chambered swamp ash body with an all Indian rosewood neck featuring the fat 59 roundback LP profile sounds really good! It has leapfrogged my solid swamp ash/roasted maple neck Regal as my new number 1.

The WLH set only enhances the experience. This one is special.

Can you share what the total cost of this guitar was?

Sure. $1537 from Warmoth. An extra $200 from SD for the WLH. Then, this time, $400 from a luthier for fret leveling and assembly.

Worth it? Hell yes. I put this up against any non-CS Gibby LP.
 
Thanks! That might help others (and me) in deciding if Warmoth is the right way to go, especially when building a guitar of your dreams.
