building guitar
 
so i thought i would share what i have been doing for the past couple of weeks with everyone on here...i got a double neck guitar kit off ebay and have been working to get it done...i apologize because my camera is not charged at the moment so ill get the pics as soon as it is charged back up...so yeah well this brings me up to another question has anyone else built a guitar???

I have not built one from a kit. I have re-built a couple, but the primary fit and components were all there. I have also completely stripped a couple and repainted and such. It's fun to kind of "make it your own".

Good lucj and post pics of the results.

Looking forward to the pics.

Have never tried making a guitar. I'm not handy enough, nor do I have the right tools, I'd bet. It would be more frustrating than fun for me.
