I"ll call Warren tomorrow and see what's the hold up

So what'd Warren say?

"Who the hell are you? Don't ever call me again."

He said that they had to come back because they were painted with the wrong red.:ROTF:

altho I'm a huge fan of Warren's guitars, it supprises me that most if "his" axes out there are only with 1 Pup yet he has used neck pickup A LOT on RATT recordings.

These won't be shipping until the Spring I would imagine. Hard to image DL not knowing which red to use when he's painting them.

I am flat out IN LOVE with french, and the blood drip. I agree, they need more than one Pickup.

Why does it need more than one pickup? I am always curious about guys that want to floyd everything, put 2 pickups in everything, etc....Dont most of us have at least a few guitars that are different?

If I want a neck pickup, I just play something else. The tone of these, particularly the BDS, is AWESOME.

Hope you get a chance to try one!

While variety is good, I have to admit that I have 2 hums in all 4 of my guitars. I use both pups a lot, so playing a guitar with only one would limit me. However, if I was buying a replica, like one of these Warren models, I would stick to what the original had. I think they would look funny with 2 pups. I also don't like the OFR, but I were to get a Lynch sub-camo, it would have to have the OFR.

The Blood Drip Skull is my favorite, followed by the Mad Bomber.

Double hum would quasi-defeat the purpose of making a WD replica/sig series. Just like a EVH frankenstrat replica with a neck p/u (at least one that is actually wired live); just plain wrong. I've got it worked out to grab one of each when they finally hit the dealers, so I think they have a place for us dinosaurs. If your playin 80's metal, who needs a neck p/u anyway...at least untill you hit the mid 90's.
Want a neck p/u? Probably best to buy another model. Hopefully, they''ll just make 50 or so of each graphic and then hang it up. One time limited run and then move on.
Funny thing is the last time I saw WD play live, he was thrashing on a vintage RI tele for 80% of the show. Personally, I'ld like to see the guy pop up and do something new. I would be interested to see where his sounds goes.

Regarding the delay-recall. I'll bet it had something to do with Seymour Duncan and a pick up license agreement. Duncan removed all the references to the pick up from the website.

well, most of the folks don't have so much money to buy all the guitars with different set-ups. Some dude thinks that WD French guitar is the coolest thing ever but doesn't buy it because he wants the guitar to be versatile because he can't afford many different guitars.

if you listen to RATT or Dokken records then you'll understand that Warren and George needed neck pups.

or let's say you play in a 80's cover band, and you have a one guitar, and you have to play a Whitesnake tune, Sykes lead tone (let's say for Is This Love) without neck pup and tone controll.....never gonna happen

[Seventh Avenged]

i was gonna say, i think that tele's one of the really "new" things he's been playing thats not a strat style.

from pics i've seen, they're all mostly performance guitars, that tele included.

and he's got at least 5 axes where they're neck pup loaded (these days).

a snakeskin, the tele, a black Corsair, his hawaiian koa, and a Bugs Bunny decaled relic strat.

this is from what i've seen and gathered anyway.

I do. I play 80s shred on my guitars, ala Racer X, so I solo a lot with the neck pickup.
