Hello All
Had this Warmoth Soloist completed since January and now finally taken some pics.
Spec:
Body - Unfinished 1 piece Alder Warmoth Soloist
Neck - Unfinished Warmoth Maple Strat Wolfgang profile
Bridge - Original Floyd (top mounted and blocked)
Tuners - Schallers
Pickups - DiMarzio Super Distortion Bridge
DiMarzio HS3 Neck
Pics first
Ok so I had some parts kicking around that I didn't really wanna sell or go to waste so decided to have a nose on Warmoth see what I could find, and found on special offer this 1 piece alder soloist body which looked gorgeous, so ordered that along with a custom neck to go with the Schallers and Floyd I had already at home. As usual Warmoth deliver top notch parts, I really can't fault a single piece I have had from them. Body and Neck are unfinished and still are. The idea of this apart from using up good parts was also inspired a bit by the Jackson Phil Collen guitars as I think they are stunning but way too busy with all the knobs and shit and the sustainer, so this is sort of my take on a no frills PC1. Guitar is lovely and weighty and the neck profile really makes you dig in and play hard, put 11's on it too to add to the weight the guitar has in sound both acoustically and cranked up. Right now I am thinking of swapping out the SD in the bridge for a more meaty pick up as I am finding the SD a little thin especially in comparison to the HS3 which has a great warm and thick distortion to it. Not sure what I wanna put in yet, we'll see.
thanks for checking out again
cheers
