Guitar project?
I'm thinking of getting guitar parts and putting them
together to make a guitar.Maybe then sell it.
Do you think it's a good idea?Would it be too hard to do?
Do you know of any good online shops
for cheap parts(except ebay of course)?

It won't be easy, but it's worth a shot. Make sure you know something about construction and luthering and whatnot before you start throwing away money. Try www.chrisguitars.com for parts. |

Thanks for the feedback and the stores.
I'm thinking of buying a body,a neck and all the stuff needed
and then put them together.
It would be an electric guitar.
I checked the sites,they aren't expensive but still ebay
has cheaper stuff(I found some cheap pickups though)

you will find everything you need to know here
www.guitarproject.com
and theres a forum full of people who will help you.
the only thing i would say is that buying the parts and putting them together is one thing, but to sell it is another. it is bloody hard to make a guitar worth selling, and i wouldn't want to buy the first one anyone made, or one that someone just bought the neck/body and stuck it together.
you should make it for yourself. im in the middle of making one, and you learn a hell of a lot about guitars.
what cheap pickups did you find?

I'm thinking of making it for myself,but I'll be making the guitar
with a friend who wants to sell it,we'll see.
I don't think it would be very hard to sell it,it would probably
be cheap.People here don't know much about guitars anyway,
if I told them I bought it whole and that I didn't make
it they'd believe it(unless I make it really sucky).
I have thought of many tricks I could
pull on a buyer(not that I will do it,it just ain't right).

I think there was a Dimarzio X2N for 30-35 $ and some other
cheap ones.
About Warmoth I checked it,it has great stuff but
they're expensive.I'll try that if I have enough
money(and experience) someday.
