Xmas folly .

[Zoot]

Got home pissed over the Xmas period and fumbled about on the bay .
I ended up buying this . Its a Warmoth Zebrawood Strat .
Warmoth make great axes , but this ones like a cross between Liberace and Forest Gump .

I was going to put it back through the bay . I had a dig around tonight and found a few bits . Its def a keeper now . I'll post some pics later.


Before.

Now THAT is nice. I love how the scratchplate and bare wood makes the whole thing seem organic and natural. Beautiful guitar, can't wait to see some more pics!

[Zoot]

I think this is better .

[jazzedout]

It certainly is! Nice!!
What's that hole on the high E side of the 19th fret?

[Zoot]

Thats for truss rod adjustment . Other details are .
Kingwood fretboard
Torres hand wound pups
Coiltap
Stringlock tuners
Corrian nut
Mahogany hollow (chambered) body and neck with Zebrawood top and head stock.

is it hard to palm mute with that cover?

[Zoot]

Yes . Its coming off when I work out how to shift it .

[ColinMmmmm]

I've seen pieces like that - the ones I've seen you can just pull off.

Much better with the new scratchplate. Don't like that trem cover, but otherwise it's looking sweet. Zebrawood's lovely - I like the EW Ibanez as well.

ahhyeah thats a beaut, it was cool before, only thing that put me off was the knobs for volume etc and the scratchplate was kinda hmm but you turned her into a beauty, congrats

I think it was better before, it just looks like anything else now.

I think it's a great axe Zoot. Oddly enough, I would've done exactly the same thing and put a pearloid pickguard in there. The only thing You might want to consider (and this is just for looks), would be to put back the original volume and tone knobs, as they would match the pickup covers quite nicely.

Congrats again!

Thanks for the comments .

I got that tacky cover off . I had to take all the intonation screws out to remove it
I,m happy with it now , justs needs a better set up and some flashier control knobs .

[jemplayer55]

^^^^ Looks good! Much better than when you got it!

[DavyH]

What would a tortoiseshell pickguard look like on there?
