Stew Mac's Dreadnought kit.
Hi,
I was just wondering how thw cost of the Stew Mac kit compares to sourceing and making an acoustic guitar from scratch.
For instance, the cost of this kit http://www.stewmac.com/cgi-bin/hazel...l&CURRENCY=AUD
with the mahogany dovetailed neck is $440 AUD.
For that you basically get everything bar the machine heads. I'm just wondering if you can buy the individual components/timbers for less than that.
I'm not ready to build an acoustic (although I plan to get arouind to it one day). I guess I'm just curious.
And yes I can see that it would be much more of a test of skill and probably more satisifying to make a guitar from first principles.
Cheers
Craig
