NGD! feat. BK Stockholms
« on: December 13, 2014, 05:03:31 PM »




the body, pickguard and neck are from Warmoth. very nice quality. here are some quick stats

color Fiesta Red
wood = alder
pickguard = tortoise shell
neck = quartersawn wenge
standard slim strat neck profile
10-16 compound radius
22 frets, no fret inlays
fingerboard = ebony (black)
pickups = Bare Knuckle Stockholm p90s (humbucker sized)
graphtech xl nut
6150 frets
fender hardtail bridge
switchcraft and cts electronics
fender locking tuners

this guitar plays amazing and the quality of the parts are wonderful. i love this thing. and the pickups are amazing. super mean under high gain but clean up SO WELL. i've used the bridge pickup in another guitar for about a year and its easily my favorite pickup. the neck pickup is also killer. i'll be sure to demo it on my youtube page soon enough

Yeah, I like Fiesta Red on a strat. Looks badass with that wenge neck. So, no tonecontrol to keep things simple, I guess.

That`s a pure badazz beauty! Especialy wenge neck!

How do you find standard thin profile? Some people state that when Warmoth says 'standard thin' they realy mean it. Is it realy thin?

@tele the only time I ever use a tone knob is with my lpjr. Since it doesn't have a neck pup.  Otherwise I just don't use them.

@lucas it is quite thin.  But not super thin.  I definitely considered the 59 round back profile.  I haven't really compared it to my fender necks.  If it's different, it's not by much

funny enough, last night I was on the Warmoth user forum, reading about diferent profiles and opinions are quite mixed. 59 roundback and Wolfgang are the most popular.
when it comes to standard thin loads of people were saying it`s really thin. Just wondering about Wizard one, that`s even thinhohoner!

Your strat neck, the wenge one it`s a killer though! is it as smooth and quick as people say?

Congratzz!!!

The wenge is actually quite coarse of a wood but it's so nice.  Since it doesn't need a finish it's really fast and the ebony is super smooth.  I love it

agree. I never had a chance o play any exotic wood neck, but according to reviews thanks to being coarse wenge is fast as well.

I guess the wenge neck influences the tone quite a bit. How compares that to mahogany and maple?

from what i'm told it tends to give a bit of a mid boost which is why its seen on a lot of bass necks. but then again i've never used this pickup in this guitar so its hard to really say how different it could be. but i will say that its helped my guitar breath a bit more if that makes sense. it had a maple neck/rosewood board on it for a couple years and while it was great, it was a bit dark. and this new neck seems to have opened that up a bit.

Is that Pro construction? How do you find it that double rod? Some people say that it gives heavier neck and kills the tone due to more metal in the neck and less wood. Also I`ve read that the adjusting system might be tricky as well.
cheers.
