LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 13th, 2019 07:40 PM   Edit   Profile   Since there's only a handful of us in the Lefty Forum, I thought I'd repost this here. I named her Penny because of the color and to honor my wife who share's the name. Here are the specs: * Warmoth alder body & compound radius rosewood neck * The body was painted by a local body shop * Tonerider pickups: Tele, Strat, P90...all slighty hotter than standard * 5-way switch with toggle for 7 combinations * Gotoh tuners & Wilkinson bridge I'm planning to replace the black string trees with chrome.

hushnel Contributing Member ********** ********** ** North Florida A Friend of Bill W.	Jan 14th, 2019 09:40 AM   Edit   Profile   Nice job, a heavily verdigris copper pick guard would really set it off, just my wacky opinion.
littleuch Contributing Member ********** ******** Ocala, Florida pwn me like it's 1999	Jan 14th, 2019 09:47 AM   Edit   Profile   It's all backwards. I orbject!
wrnchbndr Contributing Member ********** ** New Jersey I'm back with the otters again	Jan 14th, 2019 10:01 AM   Edit   Profile   I like the classical look and the combination of the pickguard with the copper. You don't see a lot of copper finishes.
M Tracy Contributing Member ********** * Lafayette IN	Jan 14th, 2019 01:30 PM   Edit   Profile   Very nice. I did a red, orange, gold chameleon Tele a few years ago, it looks a lot like that most of the time. It’s not backwards though. Enjoy.
LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 14th, 2019 03:41 PM   Edit   Profile   Thanks, all! "Why does the control plate look bent?" Good catch! I hadn't installed the control plate screws because I was still working on the wiring. It fell forward a tad as I was taking the pic. Here's a pic of the completed body. I'll probably replace the control plate because I had a used one and the nicks/scratches are bugging me. Also, I had to drill the switch slightly off-center because it was too big. I'll likely order a mini switch, or use a pull pot. "Nicest Coppercastor on the Intornet :o) Har! "Nice job, a heavily verdigris copper pick guard would really set it off, just my wacky opinion." Can you post a pic? There's a love/hate thing going on with this pickguard from people who've seen it. I like it but I'm open to other options.

hushnel Contributing Member ********** ********** ** North Florida A Friend of Bill W.	Jan 14th, 2019 03:49 PM   Edit   Profile   This one jumped out at me. Search heavily verdigris copper and select images you’ll see a wide veriety of color and patterns. heavily verdigris copper (This message was last edited by hushnel at 05:49 PM, Jan 14th, 2019)
LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 14th, 2019 03:55 PM   Edit   Profile   Wow! That's different. I'm not sure how to interpret the size of 3,510 x 2,550.
Pinetree Moderator Emeritus (with many stars) NW Pennsylvania	Jan 14th, 2019 03:57 PM   Edit   Profile   Pixels. It's an image that's for sale.
LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 14th, 2019 04:12 PM   Edit   Profile   Aaaah!
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA	Jan 14th, 2019 07:33 PM   Edit   Profile   I like the PG Mike linked in your other thread. It could go either way, really. The nice thing about Warmoth as a source of PGs is that you can swap and all the holes will line up.
LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 14th, 2019 07:51 PM   Edit   Profile   Actually, I got 3 samples from Warmoth including the Anaconda. My wife and son think it clashes. See if you agree. PG Sample
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA	Jan 14th, 2019 08:08 PM   Edit   Profile   I like it. It’s different. I don’t think it clashes. It stands out. Whatever that means. LOL Dang, that was a weird autocarrot! (This message was last edited by Leftee at 07:18 AM, Jan 15th, 2019)
Gaukdawg Ohio Say what one more time!	Jan 15th, 2019 10:11 AM   Edit   Profile   I like it just the way it is Lefty. Great work!
LeftyMeister Contributing Member ********** * Buckeye Country, USA Tone is in the lingers	Jan 15th, 2019 07:02 PM   Edit   Profile   LMBO, Eric! I was wondering. :oD Thanks, John! I've decided the pickguard stays. I had my luthier friend do a setup and set intonation today. She plays great. The pickup combinations are extremely versatile. The 2 and 4 positions are slightly muffled and I'm not sure why. Also, I used a hot (10K) P90 and it's just a tad wolfy-sounding. I'll see how I like it but I may end up swapping it out for a less hot version.
