So, with the help of Ryan, I though of some ways to cut costs on this. If i can get a parts guitar for cheap, and I can find some lumber somewhere, the cost will go down to about $165, not including shipping.

Do any of you guys know where i can find a routing template for a strat? The only one I can find is $70.

just make one. copy someone else's strat. it only needs to work once.

i'll think of something eventually

Wiggin, you're right. I don't really need to buy a template. Thanks.

I just did some math, and it looks like the bill is at about $117 so far. I found a body blank on byo guitar for $70, rather than $110 on stew mac. I'm still trying to find other wood, though.

Really, all i need right now is the wood, the pickguard, (i'm getting a loaded pickguard online) and the bridge. Doesn't seem too bad to me.

They say more people will come if we say guitar. Guitar.

justsomeguy: Fair enough. Mar 24, 2014 17:25:58 GMT

Samb1011: I won't jump in but isn't saying that the french run away from a fight the same as saying americans are stupid for driving on the wrong side of the road? This is something people do, mess with other people Mar 25, 2014 1:43:42 GMT

balbrecht: So I was working on a guitar for a friend. (It's a Fender acoustic. Something you'd get in one of those packages with a bag and music and stuff.) I was putting on some new strings, and I broke a bridge pin. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:46 GMT

balbrecht: What even. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:57 GMT
