So I am selling off a large amount of gear, and I have decided to have a custom guitar built very slowly over time. It has been a long time since I have had a specific guitar project, and this is something I am looking forward to starting. Doing it over time keeps the costs low and spread over time. It will also allow me to sell equipment to fund it over time.
Starting out with the above image, which is of a Warmoth Velocity body. Being left handed, it is quite difficult to find guitars that aren’t a very basic plain colour or a natural finish. So it is nice to start with something rather pretty.
I plan to contact feline guitars to see if they would build a neck for it, and obviously put all the parts together once it is completed.
I also keep changing my mind around what type of pickups and bridge/ trem to choose. But I am leaning towards a Gotoh trem, as I have had this on two guitars and it works really well.
Pickups wise, I am enjoying the DiMzario custom in the neck of my Musicman. So I think the closest Equivalent to this is the Air Norton. So the neck pup is pretty much down. Struggling to find a bridge pup I want, so watch this space to watch the project evolve over time!
