Hi,
I dont know if this belongs in this area or not (sorry if it doesn't)... I am just wondering if u can buy the outside bit of guitar (aco.) and paint it yourself and put one all together. My bf is a huge guitar player and i think he would like one but i am not sure firstly if it is possible and secondly where to find it if it is....Any ideas would be brilliant! Cheers

hmmm...well if you dont know what your doing...i would recommend against it...
It is a precise instrument and it sounds like you havent dealt with much (if any) guitars before

So what exactly do you want? do you just want a painted guitar? or.....

You are correct i do not have any idea about g-tars ( my more fav name for the instrument) - I am learning to play however lol
I want one that i have had something to do with. I thought i could possibly build one then i thought i might buy a cheaper one and sand it back and paint it? Then it could just be one to look at - silli ideas hey
He is g-tar mad and i wanted to do something g-tar'ish for him but i cant afford the electrics he likes ( $'000?) so?

thats what i was goin to suggest...buy a cheaper nylon string guitar, sand back the varnish, paint and revarnish. Then it would be a functioning guitar that you "made" .

no offence but i doubt your built one would be any good...(hell mine wouldnt be top shit either)

Yeah....hes probably drooling over the expensive Gibsons
