I've noticed Gibson's 24 fret necks have stouter volutes though, it's a bit weird.

Good guitars own, cheap guitars own, good, cheap guitars own. yeaaaap basically! i got an ibanez rga121 a few years back for about £500 used and is literally the best playing guitar i have ever played. its a prestige and I've sold it to my guitarist now but it kicks the poo poo out of the multi-thousand pound/dollar gibsons and fenders I've played. if you're going to spend that much money on a guitar just go to a loving luthier

It defies all reason that BC Rich is still in business. Although, those acrylic Warlocks that they released about 10 years ago were pretty loving sick guitars. I worked at Guitar Center at the time, and we got an ice blue one, which was a rare color, it just looked so badass. It also weighed 30 loving pounds, and those guitars apparently have a nasty trend of the acrylic headstock coming unbound from the wooden neck. Still, if I had money to burn I'd probably get one just for the sake of having such a stupid guitar.

White Dog Eggs posted:Sup guitar makin' buddy! That makes a lot of sense in all honesty. I know Stewart-McDonald sell special tools to fret acoustics but I imagine that, like most Stew-Mac stuff, it costs twice what it should do. I've only ever made one acoustic and it was a major headache (mostly because I used native UK woods and I honestly had no clue what I was doing), so fair play to you for doing that. the firebrand already has the repair. that's how you know it's a legit gibson, pasta llama bacon, my brotha

Having soldered/screwed a few guitars together out of parts over the years, I swear, one day I am going to make something at least as retarded as this. I think I have enough parts, except for a spare neck. Or a body, but a guitar body can be anything. *checks ebay for cheapest neck possible*

I might have to buy a strat. Everything I knew is a lie.
