Here is another Warmoth that I recently finished.
This is a WGD I scored off of E-bay. The body is black korina and the neck is unfinished wenge. At first, I was going to put a Sustainiac in it, but I learned (after putting conductive paint in the routes) that conductive paint and metal are no-nos for the Sustainiac. Oh well. So here is what I did.
When I saw this body, for whatever reason, I envisioned the album cover of Nazareth, "Hair of the Dog." For that reason, I chose a macassar ebony fingerboard with what looked like blood drops and for the "hell" of it, went for a skull and X-bones 12th fret marker. For a second level of sublimination, the body design is that of Jerry Garcia (but I am not a Dead fan), but the skull and X-bones fits the theme two fold, since the Dead is the Dead, and uhummm, Jerry is dead.
There is a Wilkinson trem and Schaller mini tuners. Frets are 6100 SS. The pups are DiMarzios, from bridge to neck, Super Distortion, PAF Joe, and Breed Neck; there is an EMG PA-2 preamp onboard, as well. FWIW, pots, switch, and caps are from RS guitarworks and the jack is Planet Waves.
