I have those kits in mahogany with all hardware for just $140.00 plus $24.00 S/H

Right now you can get them for just $100.00 when you join the Guitars For Real Musicians Forum. You can join from my website at rmolsonguitars and don't forget the dot com

you keep saying its not the best mahagony on the body ... but it looks really nice ... almost like sapele

[alexis221woodworks]

@lordvad3r Yes....I ment there were a few knots no big deal...But is nice. Thanks

[paintballkiller54]

Thanks,

[alexis221woodworks]

@paintballkiller54 Got it from a company....I cant find the website anymore..think they went under..I payed under 200.00 for it. Thanks

Where do you get an Explorer kit? I'd love to know so I can get one.

[ClanMcReynolds]

If you paid 200.00 or less on that EXP kit, it's a steal. All you need is a little time and knowledge and you own what would otherwise be a 1,200.00+ guitar. I want to do that sometime.

@g3speed14 poplar is a weaker wood, more easily damaged, and does make a difference between sound

[srkuronja]

nema neke sise ali nije losa gitara

[alexis221woodworks]

@g3speed14 Well......wood is wood....some would argue that certain wood will effect the sound quality. as far as the over all look....If you are going to paint it then poplar is a good paintable wood. If you are going to use a stain or nature then mahagany deff beats poplar and the end result will be a more pleasing finish. Hope this helps...for a project guitar if you get it for a good price then why not......have fun!!!!
