That would not be easy - usually you would only do that to use up smaller pieces of wood i.e.laminating the body. Not recommended especially for a first build. It is MUCH easier to start from a solid body blank...

yeah your right start of simple and more up thnx dude

I have done two courses with Mark but when I built my first at home I bought a (slightly customised) kit from Mark - all the bits were the correct thickness and nice and true.

im looking at the kit , i think im gona get that and make my first. would love to do a course but there very expensive. is it possible to make a guitar of better quality than say a Gibson with a kit at home ?

@hogan YES - it is certainly possible and not as hard as you might think...I'm here to answer your Q's if you get stuck... ? 

nice one thank you , im gonna see about maybe saving up or something and get down for a cbyo , but for now ill make my baritone tele with duel emg's and see how good i can get that finished 

My build from a Bailey kit - plays and sound really good!

thats awsome

Apart from the sound hole and some extra routing it is a stock Bandsman built from the online course.

awesome , i sent a message about a baritone custom fret-board , has anyone seen it ?

me again , i just ordered a router with a 1/4 chuck and didn't realise when i ordered it , will this be ok?

@hogan yes, nowt wrong with that

All my router bits are 1/4”......

sound

@hogan 1/4" router is ideal!
