Nice touch with reversed headstock.

That is a sexy piece of gear mate! I love unusal takes on telecasters! would it be rude to ask how much it cost?

It was around $950 for everything put together (I had to have the wiring done and neck installed for me as I don't have an iron or the skill to install a neck).

That's an awesome-looking guitar.

I've been looking at Warmoth guitars every now and then, but the number of choices is overwhelming Are you saying they expect you to assemble the thing yourself?

I bought the pieces separately (at different times) I don't know if they will do assembly.

That thing looks fucking delicious. Can I eat it?

Yes, yes you can.

sorry for resurrecting this but HOLY CRAP!!!! what an awesome warmoth... all wenge, nice

I built a Warmoth too, so I can relate

A dirty single-tracked sound clip from my MIM Tele (Tone Zone-T Bridge and Air Norton Neck) tuned all fifths while the sexy Wenge beast is getting setup for all 5ths:

I may end up building another Tele but with a 28.5" neck.

Well I'm still waiting on the arrival of a single tuning machine from Grover...

http://www.dbartart.com/TheFix.mp3 - A snippet of a track I'm working on inspired by fixing my negatives last night; it's going to progress like the images do from soft and soluble (this will be in D) to hardened and permanent (the grating sounds of E melodic minor-decorated with diminished and m7). Feel free to comment as you see fit.

Okay. You have quite rough tone there. Going to polish it a bit, or is it meant that way?

I'm still tweaking patches, but I'm not sure I'll stick with the Tonelab just yet; however, I do quite like a very raw sounding tone.
