Has anyone ever built a guitar? I found a body that I love on ebay and am wondering if anyone would recommend it or not, why?

[kerry]

Never built one personally.

If you are going to build it take your time. Don't rush.

Here's a few websites I google'd quickly.

Do a search on "guitar" here in the entertainment forum and it should pull up a few good threads from recent months. I was in the same boat as you earlier this year and got lots of good advice from a few members here. How much to spend, what amps to look at, etc.

Good place to start.

Buy a cheap used guitar and take some lessons. Lessons will teach you theory and techniques. Good news is, if you don't like it you still get something out of it but didn't spend a lot. If you do enjoy, welcome to the club of spending way too much in a music store....like when you initially just went to pick up strings and walk out with a new guitar and amp

Here are the 2 good guitar threads for beginners. LOTS of info in these 2 threads!

Good read for the regulars in this thread haha.

Yo $lick_rYz,

So if you notice the threads. It really comes to your budget. If you can tell us what your budget is we might be able to narrow down the guitar that we can suggest and what else you would need.

Also, what music would you like to play? Folk? country? rock? funk?

If you read this thread as well you will find out that you really need to devote your time to it. Practice, pratice practice!!! And don't give up even if your fingers are burning already. (You'll know how this feel when you start )
