Yeah, look at Ebay. Email me if you'd like an E-book on guitar construction/repairs. Its got some good info in there. Also, if you need anything, there are others like myself that build guitars, and I'm sure that we'd all be happy to help.

By the way, welcom!

yep, same goes here. I'm not so great as a "scratch build" resource, but I do regularly assemble, wire and setup bolt ons. I also have a lot of experience with hardware and pickup selection. PM me with Qs
