Thanks for the input daveq, but let me ask this another way. (Obviously) I haven't built anything yet, but am gearing up for the first project and trying to make sure I have the right tools (so far, bandsaw, drill press, belt sander, router, oh, and the hand power planer).
If I buy/order body blanks or neck blanks, do they come squared up, or does it depend on who you buy from. If they come squared up, then I can take the hand planer back.
I have found a few sources for buying neck/body blanks, but would like to know what people around here typically use for a source. Thanks.
