Ex_03> making a guitar is no easy job. If you don;t even know the basics and stuff, you'll only be wasting money. From what i can tell, you'll probably have trouble essembling a guitar let alone building one, no offence.
Im not telling you to give up, but it'll be wise to do more research before you attempt something like this.

ok and thanks

last time i do have a friend who handmade an electric guitar lo...
no idea how much it cost... neck also he did himself.. (i really respect that lo)
bodywood is actually a recycled chop board.. (err cooking utensils.. to chop chiken 1)... pickup he purchased... its a single humbucker guitar if i not mistaken...
how it sounds? err got sound lo
but for the afford... i give it 10/10 hahaha =)

your friend same with me recycled chop board *dont waste it becoz u can use it*
i try to make all by myself..pickup also i try to make a handmade pickup so dont waste my money..

lol it's not hard to wind a pickup, but it's hard to wind a good-sounding pickup lol.

Oh well... good luck with your project. If somebody could make a guitar out of a petrol can, I'm sure recycled chop board wouldn't be a problem lol.

Seriously, you're better off buying a "already made" guitar from the shop.

I mean, the cost of getting the right wood, right pickups, the right hardware, at alone making the guitar (it's not as easy as building a computer rig) is enough to get two super cun guitars.

Unless you want to experience first hand on how to make your own guitar and named it "Ex_03 Limited Edition 03's Stratcaster" and knock out Fender from the global market .... by all means, go ahead

thanks for the advice..i will buy a "already made" guitar from the shop..i just want to try maybe i can knock out Fender from the global market

ex03, i'm betting on you, dude ... you can do it !

Maybe u can go to GIM (guitar institute of Malaysia) to learn the trade..

noooooooooo, no need lah.

just take some wood, an iron rod, swirl some electric cables around a magnet, shake all of that, wait one night, and there you go : you have your guitar.

learning in a classroom... it's for cowards.

Y'know what, I really admire this kid. He makes it sound so easy lol

Go on LAd!!! I'm behind you!! I'm gonna ask my guy if he could give you some pointers, he winds pups and make customs (tho verly expensive one), maybe u could ask him for help or somethin. I'll ask

im 15 year old and i dont want to go to GIM because GIM only teach about guitar..
like Pix say nooo need laa..

know i try to find rod magnets..Pix do you do know where to buy?if you dont know i try to buy it online it more easy

rod magnet ..i try to make a Combining Pickups..maybe it will be sound good
i thing i need a C rod magnet


if i have complete with all the guitar thing i will start my 1st guitar project soon..

my friend say i crazy nobody make handmade guitar..but i say you go home try search at yahoo or google you type handmade guitar..other country can make handmade guitar so can i..
i already have a wood that look very nice to me..i take from my own table at school(already pecah but the leg only pecah)..and thanks to all for help me

GIM only teach about guitar? do u know GIM bro? they teach and assist u to make a guitar.. right from the start till the end.. i think it's the best place lorr if u really want to make a guitar urself.. coz they really teach and assist u there..

Dude, this is a 2 year old thread you just bumped. I don't think the TS even comes online here anymore. He was last active in December '06!!
