Oh no..Something New

[ibmorjamn]

Not a Squire. My new Warmoth neck if they ever decide to ship, could be 10 days is going to have a very different look thanks to GFS sale.
XGP body , blemished.

I like the binding on that.

The new Fender Teles have the same 3 PU cutout, but no trem cutout.
You should shield the inside of that before you wire it.

It is attractive isn’t it?

 

[ibmorjamn]

I am getting anxious for this thing to ship, nothing yet.

The Warmoth Maple/Maple neck should be on the way soon.

The GFS body , double bound no tummy or forearm cut. Painted, 1 3/4”
A ready to paint prepped from Warmoth cost an additional $125 + the cost of the body you choose. Paint starts around $200 and goes up.

Is the GFS on par with the Warmoth, I don’t have one of each but unlikely.

I searched for a week trying to find used options for a US strat body. Lots of them out there.
For some reason the price started at $200.
So I just figured those sellers can eat those. lol

 

[ibmorjamn]

OK

 

[ibmorjamn]

The neck and tuners should be here shortly , no word at all on the body.

 

[ibmorjamn]

The body finally shipped.

 

[GrooVey]

Taking their time aren’t they.

Tis the season.

Well , they were supposed to deliver yesterday. Tracking said the 9th by 9:00 pm
It was delivered today and the 9th was gone from tracking. US Postal Service.
The neck looks great. I will get pics later.

 

[ibmorjamn]

Not to much bling but it has gold frets and a black Tusk xl nut , vintage nitro finish.

 

[ibmorjamn]

I could have spent more and got birdseye or flame maple.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Good looking neck.

 

[GrooVey]

Sexy grain!

 

[ibmorjamn]

They do a nice a job on the frets and the nut. Should be a fun guitar if get the right humbucker in it.
I have a set of P90’s I got from GFS I could try.
