Re: Spontaneous Warmoth Build...Something A Bit Different!
That is a shame to completely cover the wood grain of a Roasted body! But still should be a cool project!
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!

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!

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...

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!

Nice reference with the Charvel! I photoshopped something similar and it didn't quite look right...the Tele control plate changes the look/lines
I'm just getting the final parts in for it, but the build is definitely a priority
Still need to work out getting the custom pickguard done, though...

#lifehappens, but this project is officially back on the bench!
Bridge, control plate, pots, and strap buttons are installed, but I ran into a small issue with the last batch of Tru-Oil I used to finish the neck, so I'm in the process of sanding it down slightly and applying some fresh coats.
Also, I just finished drafting up a proper outline for the custom pickguard. Now I just have to figure out how to get it made!

Get a cheap band saw. That will rough cut the pick guard then use a drill and small jewelers saw for the holes. A nice scroll saw works good too. Then get a nice scraper blade from stew-Mac and smooth the edges and get the bevel right. Leave a little extra at the edges at first to play with. It takes a bit of work but it’s better than paying someone to make it full custom and the tools are useful to have.

A little bit Elliot Easton, a little bit Jeff Beck and a little bit Fender '51. Unique and way cool with the SSS set up. Will look forward to seeing it completed.
