NPD and a little sneak peek at my new Warmoth

That looks great man. Swamp ash?

And also, +1 to what raph said. Maple fretboard all the way.

Yes sir, swamp ash indeed. I'm a big fan of the swamp ash.

That is going to be one sexy motherfucker. I can't wait to see it put together.

Thanks dude, I think so too. I can't wait to put it together. Once everything arrives I will go AWOL for a few days as I shield it, assemble it and play it. I ordered my WLH set for it a few days ago too. This shit is gonna be my new drug.

Oh you're going for the WLH set? It's going to be awesome. I have the set in my McCarty (won them in a forum contest and I bought the guitar because I needed something to put the pickups in) and a neck one in my CE24 and they're all amazing sounding.

Yeah man, for years and years I've used the Jazz and Alnico II Pro sets. Before that I used 59's with Custom Custom and JB bridges. I've been dying to at least try the WLH set out and basically picked the humbuckers out before I decided on the neck of this guitar. It was another reason why it was so difficult for me to choose a roasted maple neck because I knew the safe bet for the WLH would be an IRW neck with either a IRW board or an ebony board.

At the end of the day I listened to some clips of all maple Les Pauls and decided if I can't make a WLH set work in a swamp ash body with a maple neck then I probably shouldn't be playing guitar.

I'd say that's true. I haven't played any of my WLHs in a few weeks but I wouldn't say they're so bright that it won't work with that wood combo.

One thing I really love about them is the split tones. Are you going to use push pulls in this guitar? It'd be kind of a shame not to just because of how good the split tones from those pickups are.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely using push/push volume pots to split them. I do that on all my humbuckers these days but I'm really excited for the WLH split. I hope I can coax a little twang out them with this wood combo.

And two double creme dimarzio pafs or super distortions.

I'm gonna have to say no to the double creme idea. This guitar will have all black hardware.

Love the grain on that.
