Putting together guitar parts aint that hard, as long as you match everything up right (eg make sure the neck is right for the body, the right scale and fit that is)
matching up isn't too hard, there are loads of tips all over warmoth
Personally I wouldnt order from the US, but thats just me.
i don't like ordering from the US either, but sometimes it ends up cheaper
As a hobby its great, but if you're going to assemble a guitar only once why not consider saving up for a proper custom made guitar? You get tons of other benefits like not having wiring hassles, you get the exact paint finish you want, the exact style you want. :D Even if you've got to put in some overtime to get it 8)
the wiring hassles i couldn't agree with more, and is what is mainly bothering me about this, but the paint finish and style are pretty basic on this guitar, as it's gonna be a satin clear finish over mouldy wood, so shouldn't be too hard to get right
and as for working overtime, i don't ACTUALLY have a proper job, am just a contractor, so thas not really an option...which might be the downside to all this :?
A good book to read is Hisc--ks book on making electric guitars. It covers some of the issues of wiring, loads of schematics. It also shows a number of useful tools and techniques - like routing - which can be a nightmare if you've never done it before. :D
i would get warmoth to route it all out for me, but thanks for the info on the book
