anyone know of some good sites for guitar kits and guitar amps? i really am gassing to buy one and build a guitar or an amp. for the amp i am looking for a 40 or so watt tube amp, and quality but cheap....for guitar im looking for anything really, i want a pre-fretted, inlayed and drilled neck, id prefer a shaped headstock, a cut body that requires light sanding, and than the hardware, though since id be getting duncans pups arent neccessary, i could also buy hardware if need be. and i am not the best painter, but how hard can it be.....thanks in advnace

Re: guitar kits?
Carvin offers kits, but I can't vouch for their quality. Stewart McDonald also sells necks & bodies.
IMHO you'll get the best quality from either Warmoth or USA Custom Guitars. They aren't cheap, but you'll end up with a great guitar. (Only my opinion, but stay away from the "Warmoth construction" necks.)

Bottom line: I don't think you'll really save money - especially if you consider resale value - by building your own guitar. However, if you want to learn how everything works together and build something exactly the way YOU want it, there are only a few things more satisfying than plugging in and playing a guitar you've been working on for months.
ChipHeritage 535 Special, Warmoth frankenstrat, MIM Strat, & Taylor 314C(no E)
Amp Builds: Tweed Princeton (5F2-A) variation, 2 BF Princeton Reverb clones, & Super Reverb clone
Sometimes use a Blues Jr., Tech 21 Trademark 10 & Power Engine 60
SPG modded DS-1, TS-7 & CryBaby; Visual Sounds Rte. 66 & H2O; Guyatone Tremolo
SD pickups: SSL-2, APS-2, tapped Quarter Pound, Custom 5 & Antiquity humbuckers
