The beginning

When I decided to start building a guitar, I did a fair bit of research. I found projectguitar.com very helpful, and I also got my hands on a copy of 'Make your own electric guitar' by Melvyn Hiscock, which I think is a very good book.

My guitar: The design for my guitar is going to be a neck-through construction with mahogany body and laminated neck from two pieces of maple, and one piece of walnut. In terms of hardware I've only got the bridge so far, which is a Gotoh tail piece with chrome finish.
I got the mahogany blanks from Gilet Guitars which is a luthier in Sydney, and the maple and walnut I got from Anagote Timbers. I've also got some extra walnut that was left over after cutting the neck blank. I might use this for volume knobs or binding for the neck etc.
