ok maybe i didnt completely think this through im in southern california, and ill try to borrow a digital camera from a friend so i can post a pick, then email people who already posted on the above thread, about shipping etc...

Hello, Although i wanted to begin guitarbuilding, after coming to this website i am aware that it requires a lot of time and patience. Because i am currently at school i dont have time to pursue any activities related to the process so, i would like to start giving old tools, some wood(some good, some mishaped bodies) to anyone who is interested. 1.router table and router(not plunge though)(needs two screws that are missing) retail 2. 9'' bandsaw that just needs a replaced band that connects these two spinning wheels 3.spindle sander 3.hand sander (power tool) 4. Two big rectangles of quilted maple veneer(about 2-3mm thick) 5. One peice of honduran mahogany that is big enough for a body (though not exactly straight grained(14 inch width, 19.5 inch length, 1.75 inch thickness.) 6. One peice of honduran mahogany that is big enough for making a few necks (16 inch width,30 something inch length, and 1.75 inch thickness) 7.a whole lot of screwed up and mishapen bodies, good wood, just need to be fixed by someone who can reduce the thickness and reroute, them. im here in america, so anyone from the uk and europe probably wouldnt want to cover the shipping charges.

Scott, i think i like your idea of recessing the bridge and tailpeice. So you mean i would lower the area where the brigde and tailpeice would screw in?

I am using a les paul stlyle set up, with the raised bridge and tailpeice

Hello everyone, just found this website yesterday. 2 questions: 1. If a neck should have an angle because the bridge is raised how do you rout the pocket create that angle for the neck 2. I dont have a guide?, (on the router bit), so does anyone have any suggestions on how to not screw up the neck pocket, and i guess the control and pickup cavities when you freehand it.
