I've been meaning to help my good friend and guitarist by building him a 5150 replica. I actually started getting all the parts at the end of 2008. Well, due to weather, being busy and a lot of procrastination, I finally finished the guitar. Here are the specs:
Alder 5150 style body
Warmoth KWS headstock neck, maple board, wizard profile, stainless steel frets
Floyd Rose trem
Wolfgang Bridge pickup
Original Kramer neckplate
Lots of parts and paint
The guitar actually plays and sounds great. I really like the wizard profile, but it feels much more like a Jem. The stainless steel frets are very smooth and the pickup screams. I'm gonna give the guitar to my friend next weekend, but I get to play and do final tweaks until then.
