NGD: BYOG "BLUE"

[Death by Uberschall]

I know we talk about amps, pedals and guitars here a lot. But we never really seem to talk about the DIY side of it all too much. So I thought I would share something I just put together using Warmoth parts. Warmoth did all the finish work, I just drilled and assembled.

"Tito, Could you hand me a tissue, please?"

beautiful

Great looking guitar. Any reason why you opted for no tone control and/or coil splitting?

That guitar reminds me alot of my MIJ Fender Contemporary tele, but yours has a much much better finish....

 

[amiller]

Oh man!!! That baby is beeeeautiful! Have fun!

WOW

I've been gassing for a tele for quite some time now and THAT hits the spot. Holy crap that guitar looks amazing!

How much was it all together, if you don't mind?

 

[Les Zombie]

I love the color and the quilt.

About $2000.00 including hardware and EMGs. But it's all "top shelf" stuff, no skimping out here. Might sound like a lot, but compared to Gibson, Fender, PRS, Surh, etc. it's a great deal for what I got.

Fuck'n yeah!

Love it dude

That's a great looking guitar. The top is matched really well. Love the stain. $2K? pretty good in my opinion. especially if it plays as nice as it looks.

Check their site, you can build a very nice guitar for less, especially if you look in the "Screamin' Deals section. I've always wanted to build a guitar to my specs and have some hands on while doing it. So Warmoth made perfect sense to me. They are very professional and great to deal with.

i actually have a Soloist style being done also as we speak.

Incredible, looks well worth it. I'm so jealous!

It's great to not have to take the neck off and guess or deal with loosing that headstock plug!!
