I have a guitar repaiman that also builds guitars. Well, he lent me a couple of magazines. One by put out taylor guitars, and one by a luthier vendor, that talked af different woods and sound qualities of these woods. It was VERY interesting.
Well he also builds acoustic guitars. I have some high end guitars, but having a custom made acoustic really appeals to me. I've picked out some woods I like. (Brazilian rosewoods out of the question).
And would like a neck shaped like my L.P. 50's neck.
Its fun, picking out a top wood, and back and sides, a neck wood, electronics, etc.
I just hope they'll all sound good together.
Now I just need some CASH......

I'm dealing with this myself, but with an electric. I have several nice guitars, but none are what I'd call perfect. I'm looking into putting the best features of each into one nice custom build. Carvin has a wide range of models and wood options. I'm getting close to what I have in mind. It's down to the placement of the controls. If I can't put together exactly what I want at Carvin, I've been thinking of looking for a custom one off builder. But, that would raise the budget considerably and put the purchase off for quite a while. It may be possible that the holy grail is best left unfound. It gives me something to dream about. :)
