I built this Warmoth VIP guitar in 2007.  It has a VIP mahogany body with a AAA flame maple top.  The neck is a Warmoth mahagony neck with a Rosewood fretboard with 6130 frets.  The neck has a SRV profile (asymmetrical) - see Warmoth's web site for a description of this.  The body and neck have a cherry burst finish which was matched by the production shop.  The pegheed veneer was selected to match the flame top.  The nut is a Graphite nut.  The bridge is a Gotoh 510.  Since then I've built 3 more Warmoth guitars plus a Warmoth Jazz bass.
The guitar has a DiMarzio Air Classic neck pickup (DP190BK) and an F-spaced Air Classic bridge pickup (DP191FBK).  Because this was my first guitar, I got a little carried away with the wiring (which I did myself).  It has 2 DiMarzio on-on-on DPDT switches which allows you to independently set the neck and bridge pickups to Series/Parallel/Single coil.  This allows you to get a variety of sounds.  Admittedly, I didn't use the Parallel setting much but it could be useful with certain amps and sound requirements.  The pickup rings are wood and were made by my neighbor who also builds custom electric guitars.This guitar sounds great and plays very well!  It was professionally setup.  The only reason I am selling it is that I built another VIP using a chambered body so it would be lighter on my old back.   This guitar weighs about ~8 lbs so it's not too heavy.
I have over $1,300 into this guitar, plus all the labor and setup I had done on it.The guitar does NOT have a case and I recommend shipping it with a case.  I will include a new SKB-66 Deluxe Universal guitar case but that will cost you $130.00 extra (the case is NOT included in this price).  SKB makes an economy case for around $90.00 also.  If you have your own case, you can ship it to me and I will ship it back with the guitar.This guitar is sold "as is" which simply means that there are no warranties with this sale.  I do guarantee that it arrives safely at your door and I will take out insurance on it it.  I estimate $70.00 for shipping/handling but I will REFUND if less.
