Hi, I just want to introduce to you my first homemade guitar on which I have been playing for the last 4 weeks







Hope you like it.

Very nice guitar man!
I'd love to get into that.
I'm curious, how much did the material cost you?

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 18 2009, 02:14 PM

Now that's a seriously nice looking instrument!!
Well done!!!

I'm really impressed, looks like a pro-job!

I bet it was a really fun process, much like David above here I'm a bit curious how much a project like this ended up costing you?

Amazing ! It's a really nice looking guitar. Congratulations.

Posted by: Flushovsky Jan 18 2009, 03:29 PM

All in all, it cost me around 700€ which is approximately 930 USD (tools not included. Just parts and raw materials).

Just so you know, I've got a bass guitar en route.
