How To Put Together Your Own Guitar?

[Revolusion]

Haha anyone know how, I'm really curious how to do that, no harm trying to learn something new ^^, anyone has a post on this?

if you have spare parts, you can definitely put together a guitar. however, do keep in mind that there are electronic components to be installed, this, at best, requires some expertise. also, the cost of assembling your own guitar may exceed a shelved, finished, product...

thats true, Ive already almost exceeded the cost of a new guitar, and i dont have suitable pickups yet!

i never buy off the rack anymore...always put mine together...

putting your guitar together yourself will give you the freedom of getting exactly what you want.

DIY! WOOO!

its not an easy task if u dont have pre-made parts.
i've got friends who buy necks with a blank headstock. awesome stuff really to customize it but lots of hardwork as well...

as for just puting pre-made parts together, its quite an easy task. the most difficult would probably just be setting it up. just contact warmoth or usacg, they custom make necks and bodies. but do expect to pay a hefty price

i hate it, i obviously cant build guitar, i should be kept away frm 1. I have these pre-made parts, so basically i just need to drill holes for bridge and neck, i drilled the 6 bridge holes at a slanted position which kinda sucked argh

even premade parts would require quite an amount of measurements, effort and time. unless you get top-quality wood, electronics etc. i'd rather go for an off the rack model as they may be cheaper, and i'm really lazy.

its risky though to put together own guitar. So much work to do might as well get a new guitar. It will be great to have your own DIY les Paul hehe...
