Also, unless you truly live in the middle of nowhere, have you tried looking for a build clinic in your area? I'm seeing those pop up everywhere. You pay to get in and for materials, get access to some CNC machines and there's a luthier there to steer you in the right direction. You'd most likely get your guitar for under your price point, and, more invaluably, an education.
That would be awesome.

A place like Woodcrafters? I thought about taking some classes there.

I don't know Woodcrafters, but I know a couple folks that did build classes in my area just this past year..and a quick search just now turned this up-
Build a Guitar with Tom Knatt
which looks cool and is only an hour away. I'm thinking about doing it now. I'm sure there must be similar classes in other regions?

He went fukushima on me in another thread. I wish I would've saved it. It was an epic rant.
I feel like I should say something here....
That xplosivetoyz guy did go bananas and apeshit, yes, but I think he might have just been trolling for fun or having a bad day. I say this because I've talked with him outside of the forum. His avatar was a Ramones album, so one day I sent him a PM saying something like "hey dude love your avatar". He then went on to tell me about how he got that particular album etc etc and long story short, he sent it to me. For nothing. He knew I'm a longtime Ramones fan, so he took his pretty rare album out of it's glassed frame and shipped it to me, for no reason other than he felt like I'd respect and appreciate it. And I do. That was a pretty cool gesture to me. He just did it.
So yeah, he showed his ass a little and yall can feel free to rip him or whatever, but I just wanted to put that out there.

Another prop to Xplo. I recently purchased something from him and he spent two weeks in constant contact with me and the software provider arguing transfer of license. It was not an easy thing to do and I would have been screwed by any other seller. He also sent something special with the unit that I was not expecting.
Sure he just was having a bad day. I have had a few of them myself recently.

Well that's sweet. He has yet to actually utter a word to me first person direct without obscenities and threats. In post 7 here, he actually apologizes to Greg and Chili for threatening me, which is fucked, but he obviously has strong ideas about who among us deserves respect. When you have a mansion full of vintage LPs, Marshalls, and Fender amps, I guess you don't mix with just any riff raff.
Whatever, I won't make another peep, but it will take a little effort on his part before I join the XplosiveToyz love fest. Of course, if he sent me an album, then we could talk.
