Warmoth Body Candy Green Diamondback Offset Doublecut Lightweight Mahogany

Warmoth 'Diamondback' Offset SG Guitar Body. Solid Mahogany

Superb Warmoth body with the most stunning finish I've ever seen. I have examples of Warmoth's candy red and their candy tangerine (yes, ok, I may have an excessive fondness for candy and metallic finished guitars, what of it?) and they're both superb, but there really is something special about this green - especially under electric light - which is where electric guitars belong, right!?

A new custom order with the same specs will currently cost you about £630 in the UK - including shipping, VAT, duty and the courier's admin fees. Grab a bargain!

Post-purchase modifications ~ or ~ what I done to it

I had a custom scratchplate with logo made for this, but it has been removed and replaced with a plain black one in the same shape (so the screw holes are covered). It's made from standard black/white/black scratchplate material. Clearly this is based on a classic 'batwing' SG plate, but is my own original design to fit Warmoth's body, which, in my not very humble opinion, looks very bare without one. If you wanted a plate made in a different colour, I'd be happy to make you one - for a small charge.

I've left the pickup mounting screw holes undrilled, just in case you're using pickups with non-standard mounting like Fender's 3 hole style. It's a very quick and easy job to drill the holes to suit your pickups, but let me know if you'd like me to drill the standard 2 holes per pickup for you.

One last note about the scratchplate - the pickup cut-outs are shaped to accept standard humbuckers without covers, so if you want to use covered pickups or non-standard open ones (like BK Black Hawks with square-cornered bobbins) you will need to make some adjustments.

Condition-wise, as stated above, this body has been part of a completed guitar, but has had almost zero playing time. There are some very minor marks etc., but only one big enough to show in a photo (the 10th one) - that's what a fraction of a second's contact with a soldering iron does to a catalysed polyurethane finish. D'oh.

The top-quality Japanese made Gotoh bridge and tailpiece are completely new and unused as these were not used in the build.

Also included is a new set of 2 long/2 short neck screws as, because of the contoured heel, you must not use full-length screws in the 2 positions nearest the headstock, unless you want the sharp, pointy ends to stick out through your fingerboard.
