hey guys!
im new at this but i've been wanting to do this kind of thing for a long time but i have some questions.
anyways, here are my plans. i have been planning on buying old guitars from pawnshops, junkyards, or cragislist for cheap and restoring them to top-notch quality condition and selling them for as a couple grand. my old music teacher knew a guy who did the same thing which inspired me to do it. after a few guitars for practice and profit, im planning on building my own completely from scratch tailored to my needs. i've got a book by Martin Oakham called Build Your Own Electric guitar which seems pretty good and ive been reading through it. but the only problem is that i don't know how the guitars are supposed to turn out. i basically, don't know what a truly great guitar is. i know that i want them to feel smooth and sound thick and have bite while still being able to sound clean, but i have no idea how to do that and how to make absolute sure that it is good.
could you help me guys? any help will do!

ok then.
i'll forget about the restoring part. the only reason why i wanted to do that was to get money sooner to buy everything i need to make an uber-custom-guitar for myself. i guess the real reason why i posted this was to see if this was a realistic goal even though i had a feeling it was too good to be true. anyways, i know what i want my guitar to be now so now i just need to know how much it will cost to get good parts, to get even betterparts, and to get really good parts.
i'll just get myself a job and save up to build from scratch. i appreciate your feedback by the way even though it wasn't what i was hoping for. it's good for me, you know?
