    After going to some hardware shops I found out that I ll probably get a jig-saw,a sander and a set of japanese Knifes. Saw routers and some other stuff at good prices but I want to keep this all exciting and not easen it up at all. Anyway, since the tools problem is over I guess that I ll have to research about woods and tonal qualitites of each kind. Thanks for your input guys! Made me me feel really good!

    I want to use if possible no power tools other than a drill. That is not in order to save money but thats how I have always been working. With knifes,saws hammer and nails (the old fashioned natural way). I know that it is going to be hard to make a neck pocket without a router but I guess that I could either avoid it (call me neck through) and scalop the neck. Since I am going to make like one guitar annualy I dont really care about time. I know that my firt guitar wont be a Gibson Les Paul "bang for the buck" alternative but I really enjoy the idea of playing somethuing I made (reminds me of Brian May who I admire for some reason) Now it is nice laughing with me! I really enjoy your sympathy guys! Makes me feel that I am not alone one this one!

    I ve been searching for a couple of months. The problem is that since I am greek I cant understand some of the stuff in guidances. Pics work more for me so what I need to know is what each tool does... and where can be used! In fact I have some nice skill with wood and I guess that I can do it well tho I want to be sure before I spend half a months earnings or a rent payment in tools... Obvious I guess!

    Well I dont know what made you laugh so much. I want to make a guitar not because I am a cheap bastard but I would like to try it out. I am a student and live by myself away from my home with only a part-time job to live on... I hope this makes you understand! I love guitar,i love wood and thought to give it a shot. Now how wierd is my wanting to do it the cheaperst way possible?

    Most of the guys have a lot of stuff tho cant use them in my apartment I guess... Thats why I am leaning to a neck through setup...which would not need a neck pocket etc. I am 19 and been playing guitar for 11 years so now I decided to do my first attempt to build one. What is the least tools a person should have to make an electric guitar?
