Someone mentioned making guitars in another thread, and I know C-Dog and some others here have made a bunch of them.
I've been eyeballing the guitar kits that Grizzly sells.
Obviously, there's not a bunch of woodworking involved with these things, it's more of a finishing project than anything else.
But my questions are:
- I'd think these would be a decent tutorial for a noob to learn how to make guitars... would you agree?
- The one pictured here goes for $395. That won't break the bank, but the price isn't very far away from what a good used "premade" would cost at the pawn shop. Beyond the "I made it myself" factor (which is always cool), if it plays like a Walmart Fender, then it's all just lipstick on a pig. Has anyone tried one of these Grizzly kits? Were you happy with the hardware spec? How does it sound after it's put together?
Thanks.
