I Wanna make a V.

Looking to make my first guitar, and im wanting a flying V reall bad.

Any of you know the dymensions for the body neck e.c.t and what wood would give me the meanest tone.

Also if anmyone knows where i can buy parts (tremelo, fingerboards e.c.t)
that would be a huge help.

Thanks,
Mark

there are a few places in the states that will do the parts... have a look at http://www.stewmac.com loads of parts, you might even get a neck there which would make the job a lot easier. I reckon my next project will be a V so I'd be interested if you can find plans. I think I did have some once, I'll have a root around.

Where are you located?

I can help with wood, parts and pre-fabbed necks to ease the adventure. Dennis or I can also supply parts and Fender style necks.

What kind of V are you after? Gibson, Jackson, Samick?

PM me or e-mail me and I'll see how I can help you.

mainly a jackson v, i think the moddle is called a V2 or something. I want to make the body myself buy buying a kneck would be great, but im fussy about knecks lol, maple with rosewood, 24jumbo frets wiht the last 4 frets scalloped. also the same size as a kneck on a standard B.C Rich Warlock or Washburn Nuno Bettencourt, or something between the two.

Anyonme able to design somehting like this?

Yes. Well it might have been some other brand, but it definetly Samick in character!
Gibson V styling - rounded apexes, but Jackson V in size.
