    This: Warmoth Custom Guitar Parts - Body Builder

    You can not only create your own dimensions, contours, cuts, routes color schemes, finishes, binding and wood types.... but you can even choose the EXACT piece of wood you want from their stock. with the EXACT grain you like.

    I have every piece together now, including a custom designed flamed maple amber tinted neck, Gold hardware such as, pickups, bridge, four way fat tone monster control plate, sperzel locking tuners...and originally designed headstock logo, ordered from all over the internet... in order to build the Vincent Rios Customs "GLV-1" (Grandpa Loves Vincent- Serial number 1) ULTIMATE extreme designed telecaster.

    Named after my oldest Grandson.

    Every piece except the "Body". I have been playing with this for a month now to design the most beautiful sophisticated body ever.... Even down to choosing the exact peice of quilt maple I want for the top.... it has patterns of faces in the grain.

    Now to let go of the $1200 it will cost for all of the specs I have chosen... This guitar by the time Im done is going to be a $4,000 instrument with the best of everything. I have been researching every piece for months and ordering parts... Now all I need is the body.

    So, this is what fascinates me.


    Ps. For any interested tele fans who may want to know, the pickups are, Joe Barden Broadcaster in the bridge , and seymour duncan double stacked humbucker in the neck.

      Have always been fascinated by UFO's and Paranormal stuff... but my all time favourite is local history. Which is the reason I go metal detecting, when you find a coin or an artifact maybe centuries old the first thing you think about is who was the last person to hold this item, it gives a tremendous buzz and is a truly fascinating hobby.

      This is what i get up to whenever I can:

    Women...the most mysterious creatures in the universe.

    Oh, and NAZIs. Those History Channel marathons just suck me in. I'm just dumbfounded by the whole period.

    The Universe and eternity.

    I can't quite get my head around something that has no beginning, no center, and extends forever in every direction.
    Or, is there no such thing as 'directions' in eternity?
    And, 'extends' doesn't really apply because it infers a beginning.
    And, in eternity, anything is possible because 'odds' have no meaning because numbers have no meaning.
    But, if anything is possible, then in eternity, it should happen, or have already happened because there is no past....
    HELP! Somebody get me out of this vortex!

      The first step is to put down the bud.
