Reminds me of my first toy guitar... Bought in Bt Timah, 3 toys for $10... That guitar is, I think, lime green with pink, with fishing/nylon strings..

borrowing this thread. just a question. lets say my guitar neck is spoilt & I would like to replace it with a new guitar neck. what if the new guitar neck & the current guitar body doesnt fit together? can anthing be done to solve this problem? thanks in advance

its better to make sure it fits well in the first place..
but if you really have to ask that question..it probably means you're not ready to undertake the extremely delicate job of reshaping the neck joint/cavity that would be required...highly screwupable.

Hmm.. guess it's not worth it then. I was thinking if I built my own guitar I could make it really really light :lol: Part of the reason I'm playing acoustic now is that my left shoulder aches easily. The e.guitars I like are usually rather heavy.

Pier.

you need to go for physio.

can do paint job what rather than replace new body - unless U want fancy wood dat is.

I used to do alot of paint jobs b4 - especially for Beez (exYamaha) customers but have stopped now.
