    Allparts has some good stuff too. Ask Stewmac & Allparts to be part of their boutique builder program and you can get stuff at cost.

    I remember they were taking lumber from trees that were too big and were being cut down alongside california freeways. The only bummer is that the price for those was even higher than a regular Taylor

    Gosh. Is that right? I guess after seeing how proud they were to run over all the Firebird X's with a bulldozer that might be true. Did anyone ever get a real explanation on that whole thing? They could have at least parted those out. Seems so dumb.

    if you use a CNC you can prob just download an existing file and knockout popular shapes all day long.

    Anyone need a bunch of Squiers?

    https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/msg/d/santa-barbara-fender-squire/7899761500.html Pretty funny to see someone invest in these as some sort of company corporate nonsense that probably nobody knew what to do with. Could be a fun project for $100

    Orpheo has done all of this stuff. I make guitars too. Give a shout if you need some help. Some tools you can get away w/o having. Some really make your life so much easier.

    So there's this company called MIRC that takes in a lot of the warranty returns for all the Fender family of brands and others. If they are broken, they fix them up and resell them instead of sending them to the dump. I love that. Sometimes they'll even do fun new paint schemes and get creative...

    someone should buy this

    https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/msg/d/buellton-1977-fender-telecaster-custom/7898024198.html this guy has been shedding his dad's vintage guitars on the local CL for the last few weeks. This one looks extra fun.
