What's up with the nut on this?  No locks?

Im sending the neck to be routed for a floyd nut. Schaller locking tuners seemed good in theory but was'nt that good in practise.
If I pull up or dive too much it goes out of tune.

Looks great.  While the neck is in you should darken the floyd route with a little poly to try to get it to match the binding!  Great guitar!!

Here's some more pictures just before it goes for a "Nut job" just for good measure. 

I put some black felt in the floyd cavity wich seems to improve the looks a little bit.

Oh man. It plays like butter  It's the best guitar I have ever had. 
My next guitar is definitely going to be another Warmoth.

Here it is with the floyd nut installed. Theres a lot of metal on the headstock now. Floyd nut, string tree, heavy locking tuners, allenkey holder.
The headstock now resonates like crazy

This is what I would call a subtle beauty. What I mean by that is probably from a distance you don't really see the figure in the wood etc... but then you walk up on it and go "DAAAAAAM!!!"  I really really like this guitar. Don't get me wrong, I like the woods that are really highly figured but this one has all the figuring without all the flash. Beautiful guitar, man, just beautiful.

Sweet. I agree, although I'm not a fan, the gold hardware works on this guitar. 

How do you like the Steve Lukather EMG's?

I have all kind of vintage and modern pickups on my other guitars, so thought I'd try some EMG's for a change.
I think they are a little bit different than Im used to but they are good sounding pickups.
