So, after 5 projects (refinishes, rebuilds and kit builds) I feel like I am finally brave enough to start my first "from scratch" build. The design is based around the Gibson CS-336, a carved semi-hollow mahogany body with carved maple top. I am considering a neck thru design, but probably not, seeing as a piece of mahogany large enough will most likely put me a couple months behind in my mortgage. I was curious if anyone knew of some reputable domestic (US) suppliers where I could browse their selection to get the right wood for my project. I will be asking more questions along the way regarding winding and wiring my own pickups. This is a very ambitious project but I really want to build as much of it from scratch as possible. Sound off, rock on!
