I think it looks awesome! I am new to this guitar design and building, and trying to learn all i can.... but i think it is very original! That is what makes this seem like such an awesome hobby to me. I cant wait to get started. Be sure to let me know how the build goes... as I learn a lot from pictures and learning points. Later buddy. Very respectfully, Buz

Doug.... That helps a ton. I am just learning to play... and plan on taking lessons when i return to Sd, as well as trying to find a fellow builder who is willing to show me the ropes. I thank you for the support, and will definately be keeping you posted. Very respectfully, Buz

thanks for all the help fellas!

I am looking to learn more about guitars before i begin building them.... so I can do it right. I have learned a lot.... but am looking to learn more about the scale lengths, etc. I will be looking everywhere on google until i get home to my newly ordered books and dvds. I appreciate the help Very respectfully, Buz

Awesome.... so basically the shapes is what sets them apart... not the internal cavities, fretboard length, or neck style? Very respectfully, Buz

So what is the differences between all these different styles of guitars? the tele, the strat, les paul, archtop... etc? I would like to know more about them, all. Thx a ton! Very respectfully, Buz

Thx brother.... it is good to be around.

Sweet.... so i have made up my mind, and want to do an electric for my first project. Money is not an issue.... and from what i have read.... practicing the techniques on cheap wood first is a good thing. I am just wondering, what is the difference between all these different types of electric? (Strat, Les Paul, Tele, etc....) I am still learning all of this..... as I have never been in a music class or anything. I recently started learning the guitar, and plan on taking a couple classes when i get back to the states. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx! Very respectfully, Buz

Hmmmm.... I need to make up my mind, hahaha. I am ordering the book right now, but wont be able to study it for about a month or so. Maybe i will flip a coin. I know they are different, and i really just want to create one of each. Maybe i will start with an electric until i get my own workshop with all the proper jigs for an acoustic build. I just want to give it my all, and then learn from mistakes and good things. I will keep a build diary for every project. It will make it better for me, and help with other builds, as well as experience to hand down here.

Thanks fellas. I have already begun my reading and learning on this site, as well as taking some notes. MK.... I checked the link on your current project, and it looks very clean and professional. I can see that jigs help a lot. I am going to have to acquire some of those. I really want to start with an acoustic, and have already started looking at a few tools (steam iron, etc...) I like the simpleness without electronics for now.... and then get into that later. I want to make my first project a test piece, and build my skills up with it. I am looking to incorporate a lil designing, some mixed woods (like MK,s neck piece), and some original inlay pieces. I have noticed they really make the guitar. I have been here for lil over 5 hrs, and I already love it here. Thx again fellas! Very respectfully, Buz

First of all, it was nice to find a site to learn from... and enable myself to find info, and maybe a few friends. My Name is Buz, and I am currently deployed in Iraq with a Navy SF Team. I will be home in April, and have found that I want to build a guitar. I am unable to really do much out here, however, I have been doing a ton of about it. I have been keeping myself busy with some woodworking (right now i am carving a ring out of Purple Heart for my wife) but there is only so much one can learn without a mentor of some sort. I am still learning about music, and trying to learn to play the guitar.... let alone trying to figure out the parts of a guitar and what makes them tick. I am slowly starting to get it... a lil at a time. I am trying to figure out the difference between all the different types of electric guitars and what different parts (pickups/bridges/etc...) do. I am currently stationed in San Diego for the next couple of years, so if anyone is interested, I am an awesome student. I would love to learn all that I can from this site, and the experience here. Thank you for all your time... and help in advance. I hope to be at this for the rest of my years to come. Very respectfully, Buz
