Need help, how to mod a guitar??

[muddlemerry]

hello pple,

im new to this forum so dun flame me.

basically i need some advise, i jus recieved from a fren's fren, a electric guitar body(body only)no switches, no neck, im jus wondering how and where i can get a good neck, tremolo system, pots, pickups, etc etc...

also very important, is it worth the money to build my guitar from scratch, or should i just buy a new one?

if you have a really nice body, nice flames on body, and your body is made of top quality wood, then build on it, but its not gonna be cheap, otherwise get a new one, i'd recommand a fender highway stratocaster, the tone resembles very much to a 1970s to 1980s model...

Hi,

Unfortunately, if you don't have spare parts lying around, I'm afraid it's not worthwhile to outfit from scratch a bare body.

New guitars of decent quality are quite cheap these days.

Also if there are shops which sell DIY kits, the kit itself will likely cost more than a complete new guitar of same quality.

Unless the body is made by reputable brand, seriously I don't suggest embarking on the project.
