Having built all manner of things, I now have a rather crazy notion to build a Godin guitar. Well, not REALLY... But a nylon-string semi-hollow 6-stringer with primarily electronic sound.
But I really don't want to build and carve a neck this time. Did that for my last deluxe 4-stringer and it was a lot of work.
What I want to do is take a conventional electric guitar neck with a three-tuner-per-side headstock.... Add a bit of thickness, hog out the existing tuner holes and install conventional nylon-string tuners.
The body I plan to be fairly straightforward with a baltic birch top and likely a couple of piezo pickups, though I might research a microphone.
I just looked on ebay and didn't find much.... Well, I found a lot but all in the much-too-expensive range. Old Gibson necks for 100 dollars and northwards.. that sort of thing.
Guess I'll be haunting the guitar shops locally...
