OKAY!?!?!? :rolleyes:

You can get a merely "okay" guitar for less money without enduring the hassles of building your own, just by buying one!

Building your own guitar only makes sense if:
  • Nobody makes a guitar that is quite right for your needs/requirements.
  • You have lotsa money and want to test/show-off your woodworking skills.



Guitar manufacturers buy parts in large quantities, so they get them for much lower prices than you can. And the skill level required is well beyond that of the typical hobby-shop woodworker. So, even a very good DIY guitar is usually equal in quality to a mid-range guitar from a major brand, and costs about half-again as much to build. :eek:
