Custom Guitar?

[Ambidextrous]

Hi KC. I've been toying around the idea of "building" a custom electric guitar. But of course without any woodworking experience at all, i can't exactly build one. I could probably come up with a design and have someone work on it. Initial idea would be that the neck can be ordered ready-made, so not much work needs to be done. Therefore, some of the work that may be required on the body includes:

1) Routing of the pickup cavities and neck pocket
2) Setting up of intonation, accurate scale length, etc
2) Finishing

Would all these be possible over at Maestro?

Thanks for reading.

 

[KayCee]

yes, we do all the work that you mentioned.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

How much would the routing of a humbucker cavity and neck pocket approximately cost? Thanks.
