Ok i want to get my 2nd Guitar, and due to low budget and interest, i'm thinking of buying parts or a kit to "build" my next guitar. May i ask which shops in Singapore sell parts or kits for guitar or bass? And what are somethings to consider before trying to build a guitar from parts? Thanks!:)
 
I'd say its better to buy ur parts online as its more cheaper...Guitar Connection sells the parts but more ex. Msg me if u looking for parts..I may have something u looking for...:p Selling a strat neck..

Its recommended to buy parts that are Fender-licensed cos the parts will fit well together w/o any hassle.
 
Building is sometimes more expensive and generally, you need good technical skills like soldering and finishing the wood. One neck plus body total 200 plus around there, add some decent pickups and hardware, expect to find yourself in the 500 odd zone.
You could try Build Your Own Guitar, just search in google. May be what you're looking for.
 
As mentioned, Build Your Own Guitar.
Since you haven't seen it,... http://www.byoguitar.com/default.aspx
Yes, learning new skills is good. You'll need a soldering iron, solder (use stuff like 60/40, 62/38. Don't use Plumber's Solder, which is 20/80.), sandpaper, paint (those in bucket better-use paint brush gives a more even coat imo), lacquer, sealant. (DIY pros, feel free to correct me... I'm just a noob. :p)
Then you need gloves, respirator mask etc.
 
Wow thanks alot man! ^^ Do they ship to singapore? Actually thought of using this build for experience, then maybe next time can get like warmoth high class stuff =P thanks! =)
 
vPost, if they don't. If they do, then, good... If you're ordering, can contact me. I might be wanting one, depending, maybe we could share shipping. Bear in mind for Warmoth, you're gonna have to get a lot of aftermarket stuff like pickups, caps, pots etc.
 
Okok sure sure will contact, but i'm buying maybe like a month or 2 later only so yah, if you guys can wait. Btw has anyone heard of Guitar Fetish or GFS I heard they are not bad as well.
 
i heard about GFS. But they dont seen to have direct shipping to Singapore. So there might be problems. Hais..
Although there sure is a way like Vpost i think.
