Re: What guitar building category do you fit into?
Not sure where I'd fit in. I can build 'em from parts but not necessarily kits because I get the parts from different places, with my own ideas in mind. Finish work is so-so, needs improvement. I can wire them up easily enough, no problems there. Definitely not a luthier. I probably fit with what Mike choose. Mike, what did you vote?

Pickup making, fretwork, and nutwork are pretty much all that I have no experience with (the latter two because of a lack of tools). However, I prefer to assemble from parts. I can still have everything exactly how I like it, and I don't have to worry about screwing it up. Finishing I do myself.

Let's see... I've done Inlay work, Some fret work,But I don't have all the tool's to do a full fret job ( But soon I will) I cut my own nuts. I unsuccessfully removed my 1st fretboard last week. made it all the way to the 3rd fret clean. (Anybody need a J-bass neck sans fretboard and truss rod?) Then I discovered the big glob of glue in the Truss rod channel by the 3rd fret that caused the rod to bindup. I'm also a lunatic with a solder iron. I've modded and built a few stomp boxes. I've recapped all my amps and I'm building a custom amp now.
And I almost forgot... I 've painted a few guitars in my time.:laugh2: Just finished Jeff_H's guitar for him.

Anything from and including a build, fretwork, inlays, some finishing. Pretty much everything!

Like Erik, I chose "Kits" although that doesn't really describe spec'ing a neck & body, designing the headstock, finding various parts in various places, and suffering down the long & painful learning curve of nitro finishing

I just finished the design of my first guitar. I'm also a maniac with a soldering iron, I do all kinds of repairs, I can foat a floyd like nobody's business and I'm working on my finishing. I like doing mods too...
EDIT: I can make a grungy old Floyd or pretty much any bridge look, play and smell like new, right down to freshly blackend brass and steel parts
