NGD: Daemoness Cimmerian 7 Purple Burst Quilt w/ BKP Warpig & VHII

[Frak]

Thanks guys, I'm really glad you like it as much as I do! :)

[Frak]

And good to see a Philly Q stock response getting an airing again.....

I've got a Warmoth Strat body in a very similar................

 :lol:

I thought long and hard about mentioning that, I genuinely did......  :|


But it really is a very similar colour!  :lol:

That INDEED is very similar dude :)

[JDC]

What scale length did you go with?

[Ian Price]

I love that body Philly!

Almost right up my street.

It's a nice one, isn't it?  The first Warmoth body I bought..... and still unused.  :lol:

Because it's such an unusual colour, it's really hard to decide what neck, scratchplate and hardware would suit it.

Ideally, I wish I could've acquired a neck with a matching headstock and ebony board like Frak's Daemoness.  But Warmoth don't do matching headstocks unless you order a neck and body as a pair and get them painted at the same time.

Yeah - that's what I meant by the 'almost right up my street' comment. I think it would look best with an all maple neck with a cream scratch plate and pickup covers. Perhaps a black uncovered HB.

I think that's what I would go for. I'm a bit of a luddite though!

That's quite close to how I was thinking - it was going to be a bit like the Robin Trower signature Strat, with a big-headstock maple neck and white pearl scratchplate with (white) VHII and Irish Tours.  But when I tried that, I thought it looked a bit "anaemic" somehow.

So then I was trying weird things like purple and lilac scratchplates, but they didn't work (at all!).  Tortoise doesn't work either, looks weird with the body colour.

Now I've gone all traditional and I've come round to a rosewood-board neck, early '60s style, vintage hardware and (again) a white pearl scratchplate, with black pickups and parts.... but I'm also considering a black scratchplate, '70s style (about the only look I haven't tried!) 

God knows what I'll end up with!   :lol:

I would do the CBS neck, satin nitro finish, black pickguard 3 ply B-w-B.  and black hardware.

Thanks, I think that would definitely look good (although I am now putting together another Strat with a CBS style maple neck, so I don't really want to "repeat" myself....)

I definitely won't be using the white pickups in this guitar now, so I'm coming round to the black scratchplate idea.

But certainly not black hardware!  I hate black hardware.  And I've got so much chrome and nickel hardware lying around already!  :lol:

[Slartibartfarst42]

It has to be said that this is probably the most achingly beautiful guitar I've ever seen. Make is 6 string and put a Floyd on it and I wouldn't change a thing. I am SOOOOOOOOOO jealous.

[Telerocker]

Great axe bro! Not something I would buy nowadays, but superworkmanship, great woodchoice and nice colour.
