Has anybody seen the new Warmoth bodies?

This is for anyone that is interested in Warmoth tbh.

I've just noticed they have 2 new bodies on their Browse & Buy called Regal Carved Top (Seems an ESP Eclipse Clone) and Velocity (Seems to be a bit Van Halen inspired). I know they had to get rid of their Gibson Les Paul copies a while back due to a lawsuit, but it seems they have brought back the LP style in an Eclipse style. What do people think of the shapes?

At the moment you can only Browse & Buy, but do you think they are just testing the waters before they make them available to customise to your hearts content?

I hope they start doing the Regal in the Custom Build section. Warmoth had some great ones for sale before the Lawsuit. But I'm liking the new ESP style shape. But yeah, pricey as hell!

The Velocity's been on there a couple of weeks, I think the Regal only appeared yesterday.  I don't really like the pointy cutaway, but I suppose they had to distingush it from the LP shape.

There are a few new necks, too - the Regal (LP), Vortex (Variax), Arcade (Jackson), Slapshot (Kramer/Hockey Stick).  All slightly modified from the previous versions.

I quite like the look of the new Snakehead neck, based on the very early Telecaster prototypes, but there's not much info about specs or options.
