i dont want her to, but she wants to, im trying to keep it cheap but she said if i don't have anything "worthy" on my list she was going to be pissed haha

im thinking at most $600, but a new American fender tele would be nice lol. i just cant justify her spending that much money on me

Bandsaw, router, planer, jointer, drill press, spindle sander, various other sanders, spokeshave, rasps, fretting supplies/tools, finishing tools... list could go on and on.

a thousand bucks? tell her to buy you a couple of high-grade hookers that you'll inevitably need while dealing with the stress and anxiety that goes along with luthiery.

Must all of your posts be sexual and pointless?

Whatever tools you get, you better get good at luthrie fast and sell some guitars so you can buy her a present that expensive.

Thanks... i have a band saw, router and drill press just need other stuff, but a jointer/planer sounds like a good plan to me
