Nail Salons in Puyallup, WA

Pearl Nail across from the Applebees in the South Hill Mall parking lot. Ask for Vivian. Her English is the best.

Mine from Pearl Nails have never been too thick. I've tried many salons around Puyallup and Bonney Lake and they have by far been my favorite. No issues ever with thickness or fill lines (which is something that I'm picky about)

Studio J Salon on 128 th & Canyon Road. (253) 539-3344. I go there, they are all awesome!

https://www.warmoth.com Warmoth parts are my favorite. They can help you get what you need or sell you a gift certificate. It will be more expensive but will be much better quality than a cheaper guitar kit. It really depends on your husband and what he would want as a finished product.

Crimson Guitar Kit

C F Martin sells a kit, and also Stewmac.

What’s your budget? Keep in mind that the cost of a brand new finished neck is about $200 and up (about $150 and up for an unfinished neck). Any guitar kit that costs about that much has cut corners on materials, labor, and quality control. Warmoth has the most option, best selection of officially Fender licensed bodies and necks, and also sells Gibson type necks and various body shapes. Warmoth’s quality is very good but you need to select all the parts and pieces yourself. The Warmoth forums have a lot of experienced builders that can help answer questions and navigate choices. Finishing a guitar is the hardest part (after making a neck from scratch) but a natural tung oil finish is the least cost and least hassle option (also least toxic to apply). You can get a great natural finish this way and there are also oil based dyes available. A roasted alder body is the most practical option. It’s a closed grain wood that doesn’t require grain filler (which = extra cost and hassle to apply). A roasted swamp ash body has more striking grain than alder, but is an open grain wood that requires grain filler (= extra expense and hassle). You can find unfinished roasted alder bodies in the Warmoth store and save a little bit of money over a custom body. They also sell routed body blanks that can have everything drilled and routed for you, custom, and you just have to craft the body shape. A roasted maple neck is a fantastic choice, just as stable as I roasted maple but doesn’t require a finish at all just sanding. An aftermarket or kit neck will ALWAYS require the builder to finish the fret and nut work, but Warmoth takes it about 90% to 95% of the way there. You can finish frets with common hardware store files if you know what you’re doing and are very careful, but there are specialty fret files available at places like StewMac. You can make your own fret leveling beam too (youtube tutorials). But nut files are something that you have to buy from a luthier store or pay a luthier to do for you. Making sure that the neck height and angle is well aligned with the bridge is extremely critical, and one of the most important factors in ensuring the guitar plays well and stays in tune up and down the neck. If you buy one of the cheap kits, he’ll either need expertise and all the tools necessary to compensate for flaws (hopefully) or it’ll be just an expensive practice run that might not end up playable. Assembling a guitar from parts or a decent quality kit is not cheap and not less expensive than buying a quality used guitar, FYI. Your SO should definitely be prepared to really dig in and study up if they’re serious about it.

get his favorite guitar (he'll think it's been stolen) take it apart piece by piece wire by wire wrap it up and put it under the for him to find christmas day he'll be thrilled

BYO guitar has really easy kits to start with. You can get everything pre-made so all you have to do is paint and assemble.

Acoustic or electric?

Bunch of options for kit guitars out there, at a lot of different prices. It's really about how much customization you want, and how much you want to spend.

Does he want to build a guitar or would you be buying him an unwanted chore?
