I am making my own guitar/bass company
My buddy and drummer's dad has his own surf board company. He makes surfboards for a period of time during the year and september to november he is busy with his kids who do band. December to March he has nothing to do except work on cars.
Anyway, this winter, with his help. Me, my buddy, and his dad are going to make my own guitar. Its own unique look and headstock. the Head Stock will say ECCLES in my cursive writing and SIMON & SON where youd find Les Paul on a gibson.
I plan on making 2 guitars, 1 for me and 1 to sell to the local nonguitar-center place down the street because they buy custom and home made stuff.

If you want one, I will make you one. All you got to do is pay for what ever materials we spend on and shipping.
I dont plan on making any real career type money off of it. It is mostly not being happy with any guitar company. I want to make something literally built for me

That is really really cool. I'd like to see the one you make when you finish. If that is okay. How long have you been into guitars that seriously?

well guitars since january. but i grew up on music. I play violin, cello, guitar, bass, piano, and I am learning drums from my buddy.
I picked up guitar pretty quick since I have so much experience with other stringed instruments.
NO DOUBT I AM POSTING PICTURES!! it is going to look badass. I am working designs and shit, how i want everything to be. I was looking up how to actually make guitars and stuff and it isnt that hard depending what you do.

Re: I am making my own guitar/bass company
I dunno much about your experience in music but my buddy tried their a few years back and hes a professional cabinet maker and he cant get the bodies right.
Its not just about widdling a block of wood and gluing some strings on.
Expect some extreme frustration but if you stick with it, who knows, you could be the next Les Paul.
Good luck!

Well my buddys dad makes surf boards and looking up the measurements and stuff and how solid body guitars are made. He doesnt think it be too difficult. I dont want to copy cat gibson, fender, or anyone else. I want something cool and unique and makes people say "wow" when I am on stage you know.

Re: I am making my own guitar/bass company
It is a shitty image i took with my phone but that is pretty much the plan for my guitar. Semi hollowbody with triangle F-holes instead of cursive F-holes.
2 humbuckers my buddy ben will hand wind or i will buy from EMG
I am going with Semi hollow body because they are actually easier to make. go figure.

Just bought a set of dimarzio blue-bucker humbuckers for it. I havent found the right place to buy wood yet. not a lot of places sell mahagony or oak anymore. Might have to special order from some place online which i would not by happy.
