Triple Humbucker Warmoth Diamondback Project

[HNB]

I blame Countertext for this one. I sent him some classic music by a lovely lady playing a triple bucker SG and he said I needed one. I prefer Warmoth ones because I can bolt on a neck and it has full scale and I can pick a flat mount bridge like I prefer. I ordered one in ash and this is what came today.

I got a coat of black sprayed on the front. I need to do the back tomorrow. I plan on doing three coats of black. Once that is fully dry, I want to rub on some water based white grain filler.

Next up I need to add this to the grain and lightly clean it off with steel wool.

Hopefully will get on this tomorrow.

Couldn't wait. I think it went well. I think the haziness will go away once clear goes on.

I like how it's looking. How well did the DAP work for filling the grain? Did it shrink a lot or take a lot of coats? Or was it pretty easy to use?

You should hunt down a Wenge neck, like this Warmoth

[HNB]

The dap was ok. It seemed to wipe back off more than I wanted it to, but I kind of like how subtle it ended up being. Kind of like a pin striped suit.

Wenge necks are super cool. I was thinking of a Kramer banana neck for cool points.
