Ah. I assume this means the guitar body materials affect the sound less - as the strings produce the sound?

Wow, that's challenging, Dude. What kind of wood for the sounding board?

Southern hard wood.

It's a big argument. Some people say that tone woods matter in electric guitars and others don't. Personally, as a 30+ year veteran guitar player, my opinion is that the wood doesn't matter as much as people would like to think, at least in terms of an electric guitar. Metal strings vibrate over top of the magnetic coils of the pickups, the pickups pick up that vibration, and the electrical signal that results is sent through a cable to the amplifier that you're plugged into. The pickups can be voiced, the amplifier can be voiced, but outside of that, I really don't believe the wood has much of anything to do with the electric guitar's tone. I think the electronic components matter more. Give me a crappy piece or pieces of wood, make the guitar out of it and put premium electronic components in it, then string it up and plug it in and tell me what you hear. Now if you make the guitar out of wood that's really cheap, yet dense and heavy, you're looking to deal with some back pain, so don't choose cheap, dense, heavy wood. Because back pain sucks.

Acoustic guitars are a different story.

So, bought a guitar body from guitarfetish. Will see how it turns out. Plan is to build my first guitar. Going with telecaster style.

I'd really like to build my own electric. I have requirements that would probably cost about $3500 to build through a guitar manufacturer's custom shop. I bet I could get some templates and source the wood through local building suppliers. But then again, I'd have to get tools and wood working skills, which I have neither of...

So was that some sort of MMA-WWE crossover or what? That was like a hockey line brawl. What the fuck did I watch there... Connor and Khabib are both utter clowns and I think Dana encourages it.

Dude I was watching the fight with three or four pretty hardcore Hillary loving Libs. When he dropped that line about Donald Trump called him and said we got to knock this Russian motherfucker out. I stood up and lost my shit up at the party haha

This is my inspiration: https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-d...urple-metallic
I don't plan to relic it though. Found an aluminum pick guard, going with some bare knuckle brute force pups. The body is as already purple metallic, though if it's not the right shade, I'll repaint it. Still deciding on bridge and neck.

I had looked for some acceptable wood, but, the body only cost $60 painted poplar, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It's worth $60 to me. If nothing else, I'll use it for a template if I find better wood.
