I noticed in your picture you only taped off the top of the fretboard. Is that how your supposed to do it? I always thought that you were supposed to tape the top and the little bit on the side of the fretboard.

Nice job btw. Im starting a similar project (My first guitar from scratch)

Does it sound good??? How heavy?? like try to strap it on and break your neck heavy or just guitar heavy??

I called a local wood supplier and he said he dosent know what swamp ash is but he has ash. Is it the same thing?? or is swamp ash special for guitar making?? And he aslo said that it was going to cost 5.99/ 1 inch thick board foot, how would I calculate how much it would cost for 2 20"/7"/2" thick peices??

ok I got it. Thanks

The plans wont dl off my email!?!? It says "server has reset" and stops downloading. what should i do??? and i wont post them on a website if thats how it is.

Ok, thats fine. I'll just post them somewhere if thats ok with you.

they got a tele but no strat. Are their any other places?? or can someone on the forum E-Mail me what they used??

Is their any place that I can get some free plans to build my classic strat project??

How many peices would an American Fender Strat ash body from the 60's and 70's be made of??

Do you know of any websites that would sell body blanks?? preferably canadian ones.

so is 2 peices the best or should I go with 3 or more??? And I live in winnipeg. Im really thinking of going with an ash body. How much would it cost??

I'm going to try and build my first stratocaster type guitar in the next few months and I have a question about the body. All of the tutorials I have seen, have 2 peices of wood glued together to form the body. Why is it done this way?? wouldnt it be better if it was one solid peice of alder or ash?? And how much would it cost for a body blank size peice of Alder or ash in canada??
