my bad i'm looking forward to see it finished

this is an odd build but cool none the less. your neck angle does not look like it's straight.

And Snapping Nuts in half is never a good thing ( sorry man had to) I agree that is a nice bass

Makes me want to tear apart my kitchen table lol

lol i think i can try the donut thing

yeah because if i did spend 60 or dollars on a body blank and messed it up i would probably go suicidal. Thats why i like to go cheap first.

Jimmie yes Home depot maple except its not thick enough. If you can't afford a few dollars for some hardwood how can you afford all the other parts and tools necessary to build a guitar???????? maybe you are also looking at overpriced wood available from dealers selling to guitar newbies. Check a local lumber yard for ash, maple and possibly alder if its in your area, ask for two inch thick stock if you have the tools or will power to do some work, It always helps to know what you are about to build so the wood selection can be narrowed to a wood used in the design. If you paint it just go to home depot and buy glue too LOL. these posts make my day And thats why the topic is wood and not parts. i have the tools and the part from various guitars i have owned in the past. i just wanted to know a cheap way to build a body.

Whats up ya'll I have gotton a couple of guitar plans to build my first guitar but then i realized that i cannot afford to buy a body blank. Now my question is is there an alternative i can use maybe something at home depot that will work for a body? please let me know. Thanks guys Jimmie
