re: How do you buy guitars?

If you’re an experienced player and know exactly what you want, I strongly encourage you to order the neck or body from Warmoth. Once you receive the parts you can get TheFretShack or Dojo Guitars in Atlanta to do the set up.

I have had 2 Strats pulled together by Dojo and will never go back to a factory built Strat nor Telecaster. I realize there are some limitations; e.g. bolt on necks vs PRS/Les Paul. However, it’s tough to beat what amounts to a custom built guitar.

I've told on here before, about building the StewMac kit Les Paul Jr. guitar. It was my first attempt at a kit and the cheapest one they had. I followed their instructions to the letter and the guitar turned out to be a very nice player.
The p-90 is not the very best (will swap it out soon), but it's not awful. All in all it's a great guitar for what I have in it(150 bucks). Will be ordering another kit from them soon, just trying to decide what it will be.
