Warmoth Orange/Blue Jaguar, roasted content

Georg_Figel

Hello Everyone,

I've put together a Jaguar with Warmoth Parts.

I wanted to do a Orange & Blue Color combination, however, the roasted ash had a really awesome wood grain, so it was a bit of a shame to paint over it. So I came up with the idea of having a fake f-hole and a hexagon pattern on the back that shows off the natural roasted ash.

I've also put together a video of the whole process, with a sound demo and also an overproduced song at the end:

Editing this video actually took longer than putting together the guitar xD




I've made all kinds of mistakes with the paintjob... but that gives it the homemade appeal

Sound and playability is top notch though. The roasted maple neck has 2 thin layers of Tru Oil, it feels really amazing. Roasted maple with a super thin finish might be the nicest feeling neck.
Some people leave them completely unfinished, but the tru oil makes the color of the wood much more intense.

I'm very happy. Next I'll try if a roller bridge is an improvement or not.

Really cool video and nice song

The usual bridge mod is Mustang type saddles because they cannot be vibrated loose and lower themselves.

Staytrem bridges have the additional benefit of slightly narrower string spacing.

I dunno about you, but I could really do with a can of Irn-Bru right now.

I've heard good things about the staytrem.

I have a modified Mustang bridge in my guitar. I only found it being sold at Warmoth:

Irn-Bru should hire me now

I quite like it. Coloured pearl guards are not seen often enough and it does suit the orange.
