Building guitars


So,

I'm thinking of starting a project of my own in the near future. I'm looking at getting a jem guitar body either made out of Alder or Basswood and doing a classic black and white style like the one used on Die To Live video. I'm wondering how hard is it to paint and clear coat a guitar? It doesn't seem to bad just a long drawn out process.

Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for a custom shop in the US that can build me a decent body at a decent price?

Thanks.

Well, hopefully you've been reading the vendor threads to see whom to not deal with in the U.S.
