Little bit more expensive than some of the other kits out there, but I feel great for the price. Grizzly also carries a decent selection of luthier tools, the CEO is a luthier by hobby and has made some really nice guitars.

The guys at Warmoth are amazing. Have purchased about 4 necks and 3 bodies from them, all good stuff. However, don't mention my name... that will get you a price increase! I'm a "pita" customer of theirs! :)

If your looking for some of the highest quality lumber out there, http://www.eisenbran.com/ is the place to go. I have used them for home, and work projects. Same rule applies as Warmoth! :)

I saw them at a woodworking show in Vegas and they had a couple of guitars in display cases, one acoustic and one electric. Lots of detailed inlay work on both. I wanted to take a picture but was wearing an exhibitor badge and didn't want any static. I thought it was somewhat weird that they would have them on display at a machinery show,,, makes more sense now.
