I'm ordering from Warmoth with the "Warmoth" style headstock, it's pretty similar to the PRS style. This is actually exactly what I'm ordering, mahogany and rosewood.

My dad cant decide on what color the pick guard should be. What goes well with gold?
UCP FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

He says he wants a red pick guard which I think is not going to look good. The hardware is all black. Here is the guitar right now.

Definitely go with black.
Neck still isn't here...growing impatient. I haven't been charged for it yet either, so I hope they've actually put the order through, I am going to email to confirm.

Neck came. Fantastic quality, probably better than the Fender one it is modeled after. I will put up pictures later.
Off to oil the neck and do some sanding on the body. All I have left is:
- Route electronics cavity
- Drill 5-6 holes
- Dye and oil body
- Assemble
WOO!

Black dye:
After sanding that down:
As it sits now, drying:
The shitty cell phone pictures make it look like nothing on the body is straight but it is. It's also a little darker than the pictures make it look.

Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
That looks wild. What do you use for a clear?

I don't have anything on it besides dye so far. I'll probably use an oil to really make the grain "pop" then clear it with nitro-cellulose for protection.

Sounds cool. Keep us updated.

Well the dye came out really brown instead of reddish brown (not sure why, same formulation dye as I used on the test piece I did on a scrap piece of wood left over from cutting out the shape) but I actually really like how it came out. Kind of a tobacco color, but really dark. So I've oiled a few coats and today I think I will spray first one or two coats of clear. Wish me luck!

I like the brown over the red actually. Funny thing is that I was painting my room a similar red color at the bottom and it came out in a similar brown.
