Nice one! Probably also picking up a Mayones soon.
Grednas,
That is the coolest inlay I have seen! Awesome!
Very cool inlay in your Lefty
Wow man! That takes things up a few notches!!!
Has anyone tried Warmoth guitar parts? They're amazing and you can get parts custom made. The also have the option to get different fret wire like stainless steel frets, different woods, different neck width and thickness. I have 4 guitars I made and several necks. Here's the link, check it out.http://www.warmoth.com
Wow @grednas! That is an amazing inlay. My grandfather was a watchmaker. I could see having one of those. Very very cool!
Picked up today!

Dattttt topppp!
Yeah, that's certainly the nice thing about this one. The top is insane and they're so unique with the Buckeye that I'm over the moon with it.
Very nice guitar
Lotsa nice gtrs. I love how different peoples tastes are. The world would be boring if we all played strats. (I'm guilty of that)
Spectacular, Laurens!
Nowhere to hide on stage with that thing, mate.
Well, I have a few plans for a couple of more guitars so I post my current stable in the meanwhile
From left to right:
Warmoth Soloist/strat - My favorite guitar, it has gone through lots of changes like neck swap, added homemade pickguard (it was a 1-humbucker body originally!) and other horrifying experiments... But it's absolutely great. Stainless steel frets, Original Floyd Rose and EMG 81/81. Tuned to E standard.
Warmoth Strat - Needed a singlecoil guitar so I built this one a couple of weeks ago. It has SS frets, OFR, and EMG SAV pickups. This one is REALLY nice. My first guitar with roasted maple neck, and certainly not the last! Tuned to E standard.
Fender Musicmaster - Origianlly my dads guitar, which he bought from some guy who parted it together in the 80s... I used it for so many years I decided to buy the guitar from him, and since then I have put in EMG 60 in the bridge and EMG 85 in the neck. It's also refretted with SS frets, and I installed Graphtech Ghost piezo system for some cool piezo sounds. I'm not a huge acoustic guy, so this works just fine for me tuned to E standard.
Barrington BRG-883 - This is a really cool late 80s rarity! It's basically a japanese made ESP M guitar, with another brand on the headstock. I bought it for super cheap, and had it refretted with SS frets and I also upgraded to new gold hardware, Gotoh Floyd and EMG 81/S/S pickups. It's absolutely AWESOME. Tuned to Eb.
Ibanez Roadbass - I got this free from my sisters boyfriend, and it's a damn nice bass! I refrinished it to white and put new pickups in it because the stock pickups was draining battery even if it wasn't plugged in hahaha. It's passive pickups but I need active ones for this soon.
Jackson RR24 - This one is a ongoing project. I have already drilled and installed a nice Gotoh Floyd, but the frets are worn out, so I will give it to PLEK for a SS refret soon. But it's really nice and will be even better after a PLEK!

Why EMGs in all my guitars?! My apartment has unearthed wall sockets, and all passives gives unpleasnt scratching string noises, so I'm using EMGs as a temporarly solution. I like EMGs, but my favorites are passives, but I cannot use them at the moment. Once I move to a better place, I might swap pickups at least on my Warmoth #1, otherwise I'm fine with the sound on all guitars.
Also, all floyds are blocked to dive-only!
Now, my plans and wish list is this:
1. Hardtail strat with EMG 60 in the bridge; I have most parts for this. EMG 60 is tighter, brighter and nicer for rhythm recordings than EMG 81, and even tho I EMG 60 in my Musicmaster I wanna have a more all-around hardtail guitar. The Musicmaster have medium high action because of the radius, but this hardtail will be much flatter and therefor be more racer-ish.
2. Floating OFR guitar with 24 frets and sustainer/sustainiac: I could unblock any of the guitars I have, but I wanna have one guitar that I can do all kinds of solos on, and also with the sustainer/sustainiac make feedback noises without haveing to turn my Kemper to ridicolous levels (for apartment).
3. Explorer. Gotta have an Explorer!!! No reason other than they are super cool! COULD be an ESP LTD EX-360/400 as well, those are my second favorite Explorer-kind, but a 1984 style Explorer is my #1 choice if possible.
Oh, and by the way, can anybody guess which colors my planned guitars will be?
Tasty, Cederick!

Like to see love for the RR24. I totally dig that one, even with original tremolo
Thanks for sharing..
Yeah, I bought it used so the frets was worn down, but after stainless PLEK treatment I think it will be a keeper for life, just like all the other guitars here! Haha.
The only one I may sell at some point is the Ibanez bass, but thats because I want a Warmoth 5-string Jazz bass. In white and black, obviously.
However, teh Ibby bass is still very nice, so I might keep it and use it in some other tuning like Eb like my RR24 and Barrington
Cool, what does the miniswitch do? I would guess coilsplit if there was a humbucker involved, but now I have no idea. Haha
I DID have a HSH superstrat once that had LP-switch and three miniswitches;
The LP switch switched between humbuckers like normal
Two miniswitches coilsplitted the humbuckers individually
The third miniswitch was just an on/off for the middle singlecoil, so I could activate that one at any time.
My guess is that yours is something like that but it might be some boost or somethign, maybe? Just guessing for fun
