Guess what I am doing......and it does not involve porn or a hand shuffle.

Parts came in. Trying to do video and pics. However, they did not include the switch tip I paid for as well as they did not press the bushings I paid to have them press. Everything else appears okay though.-Lou

Score! Looks cool! Let's see some close-ups of the frets out of the box. Interested in fit & finish.

Looks like fun... Good Luck Man!!!

Here are a few pics before I go to bed. Getting tired and have to work in the morning. Will finish assembly and setup tomorrow night. Will edit video and pictures for assembly tute. The pics I am posting of the frets are after the polish and deburring. I can say the fret install was good, but, they needed refined and touched up.....and they polished out really nice. Hopefully a fret level will not be necessary.-Lou

Don't know yet. I took some fine sandpaper and just ever -so-slightly nocked the sharpness of the corners off. I will wait to see how it plays. -Lou

I am on the phone with Warmoth now. They did not angle the neck pocket like I asked and paid for. I had to put the Floyd on the deck and the strings were still about 3/32" of the frets. Kind of irritating. Going old school with shims as I do not feel like sending it back. -Lou

PS. I am out of the loop obviously, what does GTWGITS mean?

Like you guys haven't seen a strathead headstock before.....LOL.

Called Warmoth, I am not sending the body back. Just shimmed the pocket. Got it at a decent playable status. Still tweaking. I am thinking A fret level is not going to be necessary. -Lou

Damn, you need to spend more time here

UNACCEPTABLE! The whole GTWGITS thing is a shaming maneuver designed to make one think about and avoid future embarrassment when one takes photos of ones guitars.

[LouSiffer]

Lets not blame the picture taker guy......lets just assume the headstock was circumsized.-Lou
