  1. The only large scale tool I have to use is a drill press. I have smaller stuff but I don't think making a guitar body with a dremel would work.
  2. I don't have the required tools or skills to shape my own body.
  3. Here's a list I have so far of what I need: 1. Warmoth Firebird Body – 200$ 2. Warmoth Birdsyes Maple/Rosewood Fretboard Neck – 193$ 3. Korg Kaoss Pad 2 - ~150$ ebay 4. Neck Pickup Seymour Duncan SP90-2 – 76$ 5. Bridge Pickup Kent Armstrong Motherbucker – 100$ 6. Gotoh SG28 Tuners – 25$ 7. Gotoh Tune-o-Matic Bridge and tailpiece – 30$ 8. 3 way selector switch – 10$ 9. Pots and stuff - ~20$
  4. That's what I'm going to do, drop the touch pad in the guitar with the rest in the box. I have to check to make sure, but I'm looking at a Firebird body which I think should have enough room.
  5. If you want to wire in effects, I'd recommend taking a look at ModBoards (click the link). There's a thread in the electronics section about a sustainer. Warmoth sell guitar bodies for you to put electronics and stuff into. Have a look there (google for warmoth). Top quality stuff. Wow, thanks for the links. I'm pretty sure I have the body and neck I want picked out on Warmoth. And surprisingly, the Kaoss pad looks like (aside from routing) the easiest thing to do. Also, where's a good place to buy pickups from? I'm looking for P90s.
  6. Hello all! I've been lurking around project guitar for a good while and I'm of the opinion this is the best place on the net for guitar building and customizing. Anyway, I've been planning on doing a custom guitar, and I'll need a lot of help planning it out. I'm not sure I have the skills or tools required to make a custom body out of blank pieces of wood, so I was curious to wonder if there's any place where I can buy like a "blank" guitar body to work with. I'm heavily inspired by Muse and Matt Bellamy, which gave me a few of the ideas for this guitar. I'd like to wire in a fuzz pedal and sustainer such as Bellamy has on his custom guitars. I'd like to include a Kaoss pad as well, but that's probably way too complicated for me to do. Right now I don't have the funds for this project yet, but help planning it out and locating the supplies would be invaluable.
