Welcome to the forum, not many fiddle with guitars here but I’m one who does! I started building this time last year and am now addicted. I mainly focusing on four strings at the moment. There is a dedicated forum on hear under the heading of musical instruments, jump in and post up some pics of what you do, I would love to see your work!
Cheers Cal

Hi Cal, it certainly is an addiction. Especially timber selection.
I've jumped in looking for Australian made guitar hardware.
Just added a few photos now, very similiar process to an airbrush forum I'm in, so no hassle there.

Welcome to the forum Kirby,
Like Cal said there are a few on here messing about with wood and strings as we gradually teach ourselves to make instruments. The musical instrument section also has some pretty fine luthiers if you take a look back through whats been posted over the years. The forum overall is a truly great gathering of woodwork knowhow.
Regards
John

Nice work there KirbyMD! Nice flame, quite a unique looking guitar.
I'm trying to think of which guitar style it reminds me of, but it's a credit to you that I can't. A bit here, a bit there. But yours is pretty original.
I'd love to learn how to build a guitar. Obviously not an overnight thing... But you've gotten me thinking...
Cheers!

Thanks Smoj,
if i can inspire you to create a guitar that isn't a strat, tele or lp then my work here is done.
Most of the guitars I'm building are original shapes, designs I've been kicking around for awhile but never had the workshop space to start production until now.
I think every guitarist should build at least one guitar themselves.....
If you want to have some fun, study a few guitar plans and pencil in your own design around the electrics, see what you come up with!.

Give me time... Hopefully I'll get there eventually.
It'd be a bass for me. I'd be proud as hell if I could put one together that ended up half as nice as yours.
I'm looking at my dodgy old bass right now, and thinking I could start by cleaning that one up, reworking it a little as a small step in that direction at least.
Cheers for the inspiration.
