Hey guys!
I've been thinking lately about building a guitar. This is not something I have ever done before, i've never really worked with wood before, but i'm more than willing to learn. I have access to most of the tools needed for this, so that's not really an issue, my biggest concerns are what items are typically needed to build a guitar. Specs would be:
7 String
Neck Through Construction
24 Frets
Multi Scale - 25.5" - 27"
Single Humbucker
1 volume knob (Maybe no volume, only "on/off" killswitch.
As far as actual hardware goes (Bridge, tuners, pots, switches, pickups, etc) I know exactly what I want, but what is a good, and fairly inexpensive wood to make this guitar out of? Something that will look great, and sound good, but not break the bank.
Any help or pointers on this build from you guys would be more than appreciated. Again, i've never done anything like this before, so give me anything you got!
Thank you!
