Looks good! What are the neck specs?

CONGRATULATIONS!

The combination of all of the various species of woods is beautiful and impressive.

Does the body have a forearm contour ...or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

ENJOY!!

 

[bigboki]

Yes body has forearm contour and belly contour and is beautifully done.

thank you Dave

Warmoth Strat, Modern construction, Standard thin profile (unfortunately - I need thicker ), nickel (unfortunately - I prefer SS ) jumbo frets (probably 6150).

perhaps you should have also purchased my Tonebomb neck

Looks great though!

I had this neck laying around waiting for a body for quite some time.
I was thinking to get full guitar from you, but by the time I made up my mind - your neck was gone...

 

[davetcan]

Not gone, it's still here. I just decided to see if separating the two would entice someone

 

[Budda]

Can deliver

Looks good!

and plays even better

 

[Hammertone]

12 pounds?

 

[bigboki]

To be honest didn't measure it. I'll try today and let you know.

 

[1SweetRide]

Stunning

 

[SaucyJack]

Damn that's sexy!!!

 

[davetcan]

12 pounds?

It's a heavy body for sure but probably more like 10 pounds, felt similar to my old LP Std

 

[bigboki]

it is around 9lbs

 

[davetcan]

Sounds right, my LP is 9.5 lbs.

I had the guitar for sale for quite a while initially - I had a Warmoth ‘59 Roubdback neck. Would probably have cost less to have bought it as a complete guitar. Lots of tire kickers - and even more “interesting” trade offers. In the end, I was able to get more for it by making a new body - and the fellow who commissioned it was overt the moon with the end product.

Good job on the body contours, Dave......
