PatrickF Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Hey everyone, recently I stumbled across the idea of making a custom guitar, I'd like to make a PRS style guitar much like this one but I don't want to make a Variax Hybrid. I was wondering, where can I get quilt or flame maple, and what should I use for the body? I was thinking mahogany but I dunno. I was gonna use this neck and these and just some black knobs, straplocks, and these pickups. I just need to know if I should make any changes to that setup and the price of some wood. Thanks in advance! Edited August 10, 2007 by PatrickF Quote
Maiden69 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 you can check e-bay for some wood, also check the main site supply section. There's a lot of better places to get your neck than all parts. Look for Doug he did the one in my PRS SC, Warmoth, even the e-bay. Do your home work, do searches on the forum. There are a lot of people here that have done PRS style guitars. Quote
CrazyManAndy Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 Yeh, Doug can make a killer neck. I would look him up, especially considering what you want to do. As Maiden69 said, try some searches on the forum. Here is a link for some maple tops: http://stores.ebay.ca/Fraser-Valley-Fine-W...7QQftidZ2QQtZkm CMA Quote
PatrickF Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Posted August 11, 2007 Thanks a ton guys. I'll talk to doug and I'm already the wood, I shoulda just checked there first. My idea is to have a sort of PRS style SG body type thing, like, a standard PRS, but with both of the cutaways the same height. I want to have a little more of my own touches to it than like a PRS duplicate. Thanks again! Quote
