Hi
I am going to build my own guitar, (something along the lines of Rickenbacker 330) I want the body to be small and super thin, with the wides fretboard possible, as far as the pickups go, I haven't the faintest Idea... (since this guitar is supposed to put me in the mood to learn how to play...)
Anyway, anything you can tell me about guitar building, things to pay attention to, where to get parts and so on, I would be eteranlly grateful.
thanks
