Custom guitars
My friends dad has made 3 so far, and has a 12 string in the making. Its taking him a while to build it since it's costing so much money. They are awesome guitars to play on, they all just feel so natural. I'm going to make one with him one of these days, I swear.
Nice job on yours, they look pretty good.

Many local woodworking shops will have the wood you need. You can pretty much make most of a guitar with a router and a wood shave. Also luthiers mercantile has a lot of woods and accessories or Stewart Macdonald. If you buy a piece of wood as a guitar blanks it will be twice as much as just a plain piece of wood.

Carvin sells a kit that is super easy to put together and customize.
