I'm going to have to ask Warmoth to please stop putting beautiful tops on Strat bodies, or I'm going to go broke  :lol:

Have you actually bought it?  :o

I saw it on there, but those more exotic bodies are pretty pricey, aren't they?

That does look pretty nice but I still maintain that strat bodies with binding don't do much for me!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Yes and yes, but I've been looking for a mahogany Strat to put humbuckers in for a while and this would be perfect.

I've been thinking about a mahogany (or korina) Strat or Tele, but haven't seen anything on Warmoth recently which has taken my fancy.  But they're always adding new stuff!  :lol:

Looking forward to seeing your creation in due course!  :D

That's the problem, isn't it? There will always be another "must have" body in the showcase. Eventually self control will kick in I'm sure?  :D

This one will be a while before it's built, but I'm close to finalizing the black korina Strat I posted about a while ago, so I'll post some pictures and hopefully clips when it's done.

Self control?  I doubt it!  :lol:

I can never resist buying something "better" than the last one I bought.  The only good thing is, because it takes me years to get round to building anything, the "old" one is still in as-new condition so at least I can sell it for a good price.

I have tried recently to wait a few days rather than impulse-buying.  That way, if someone else beats me to it, it's mildly annoying but at least I've still got my money.

Very nice. Lovely grain, buy it!

 I was having a look yesterday, I've suddenly got gas for a new Telecaster and was thinking something like this:-

http://www.warmoth.com/Showcase/ShowcaseItem.aspx?i=PT2654&Body=2&Path=Body

I already have a traditional Tele which like any traditional Tele can be a pig to play so I'm thinking H H config with a Stormy Monday neck (not sure what bridge) Pao Ferro 1 piece neck with a compound radius and 59 roundback profile and SS frets.

I suppose I could just get an LP type but I'm thinking the Tele style with bolt on neck would be a bit more unique and have a little more snap in the sound. The other option would be a traditional tele bridge and a piledriver.

There are too many options though and I don't know what I want, I played a Suhr Classic T yesterday with P90's and that was awesome, a P90 Warmoth Tele would be great.

It looks great, but it always makes me cry a bit when I see a really nice Strat body on the Warmoth showcase, then look at the bottom of the description and it says "Your choice of tremolo."

I don't know why they can't just leave routing the tremolo spring cavity until later so you can still specify it as a hardtail if you want. They do other routing later, eg pickup cavities, so why not the bridge too?
