Planning Stage

Hi everybody!
First of all: Don't worry, I'm not building a weapon of mass destruction, it's only a Guitar!

Since I had this crazy idea of building my own guitar, I thought it might also be nice to blog about it. In the (probably not so near) future I will publish bits and pieces about the guitar I'm going to build. For the moment I'm still in the planning stage. Lots of webpages to read, and, Hey! I've even bought a book.

As I've read a couple of websites and forums about building guitars, I kept reading this was THE book to learn it all! I've browsed it a bit, and although it seems to me that most of the topics are covered all over the web, it feels good to have bought this, if only to show to myself that I'm serious about this project. Add to that that it gives me something to take with me into the workshop (hmmm, got to get myself a workshop), that is more sawdust and spraypaint proof than a laptop.

So, now the the hard process starts of designing my guitar (and maybe actually reading the book). I have some ideas about it, but until I'm sure its feasible at all, I will keep my plan a secret (although the title of this blog should be a hint). Hopefully this means that by the time I post my next message, I will be able to show at least some sort of design. Until then, I'll just keep watching Youtube movies about my new hero:
