I really like the tiger flame and the fact that the burst fade stays towards the outer perimeter of the body, Look KILER! Does the trem stay in tune good?

Did you go with Abalone dot marker inlays? Is the 12 fret marker Pre 64 wide or Post 64 narrow spacing?

I'm getting ready to order my neck for my final super strat project, I finally found a back profile that matches my #1 Kramer as it is more of a U backshape at the 1st fret it was hard to match up.

The trem stays in tune great. The graphtech nut definitely helps and I use a Big Bends Nut Sauce also. The fret makers are standard clay. They’re standard spaced, so whatever Warmoth offers. I just bought a neck out of their gallery.
 
That's a beauty, Paul. Nicely done! Did you do all assembly? Did it need any fret work? The two used Warmoth guitars that I've owned both fretted out and needed leveling.

Yea, I did everything. Sometimes you get lucky and get one that doesn’t need any leveling but that’s not too common and when it does it’s usually minor. They tell you to expect it. This one only had one high fret.

That looks really...really good! :yes:

Could I ask how much $$ you have into it? I'd be in to building something like that!

Sure, it’s no secret...about $1300 plus my labor. Not bad for what you end up with. You could build one for a bit cheaper if you leave off the top.

I that had Suhr beak headstock and a Suhr logo, no one would question it plus your up about 2000 bucks in your pocket.

How you like the Chambered Mahogany versus a solid body like your LP's?

I’m a big solid body guy so this is actually the first I’ve owned and to be honest it sounds very loud unplugged and huge plugged in. I’m now a believer. :thumbsup: And it weighs in at a mere 7lbs 3oz.
