hey, all! my neck is ordered, so I need something to put it on. I'm looking for help and advice on how to tackle this. I have $400 max to burn on a complete guitar (minus neck with tuners). I can get a p-rails set for $170, which is really tempting, but I don't know if I can pull of a fully loaded body with what would be left over. I need the basics (start body, pick guard, jack, bridge (wilky I hope), neck plate, knobs, pots, strap buttons, wire and necessary screws for all). If I could have it my way, I'd do 3 mini-togs with the p-rails, one to switch/combine the two pickups, the other two to split/combine each pickup's coils. Then I'd do a TBX tone control for each, and a basic volume knob.
What do you think? can I pull this off for $400? I don't want to start in buying stuff for this setup, then find I can't afford the actual body, or whatever. Anybody willing to pass on any basic parts on the cheap? I've never done this or priced this type of thing out before. are there places with really low prices on any of this?
Thanks
