All solid body electrics. I have not tried to build an acoustic guitar, those would be alot more complicated. [/quote] I’m seriously thinking about using a warmoth neck and body. I’ll be doing the fretboard inlays myself. Is the Warmoth stuff high quality? Based on their pricing they believe their stuff is pretty high quality. [/quote] Very high quality, I like being able to pick a neck that has just what I want on it. I have a Tele, swamp ash body, birds-eye maple neck with compound radius finderboard, with a 50's style large boat neck. [/quote]
Original Message
I’m planning on building a guitar with the long term goal of possibly starting a business building custom guitars. Right now I’m just planning on getting a kit or parts from Warmoth and just doing some custom inlays to start.
I’d like to eventually get a full work shop going focusing on mainly electric guitars, but maybe acoustics as well. You can get some pretty nice acoustic kits online from Martin, Stew Mac and Blues Creek Guitars.
Anybody here on GLP a luthier or maybe just built a guitar for fun?
