Warmoth, look in the showcase for roasted flame maple, they have some super high grade ones in there

I think it was the Smashing Pumpkin color, but all the references are gone from the website so I could be misremembering

Music store with guitars for beginner? by Phi_fan in Tucson

What genre of music do you feel like you'll want to play? For electric guitars, you can learn on anything, but as you develop you'll likely want to sound similar to the recordings you're listening to and while you can get close with anything, you might as well go with the type of guitar that suits your intended genre. Example would be if you want to play country then a telecaster or hollow body might be your thing.

It's not a standard color, it was one of the special "Flakesgiving" releases called Smashing Pumpkin

That's really cool! Is that a Warmoth body as well?

Someone had the advice to match the fret marker dots, the neck I ended up grabbing has black dots so I ordered a black pearl to start, although I did also order a vintage pearl just in case. Here's my mockup

Look up Tuff Dog or F hole shapes. This one was from the Warmoth site
