Reading your words reminded me overwhelmingly of 2 characters who made music history: Brian May, who built his own guitar out of salvaged wood and a fireplace beam and the electrical system (pick-up) was made by his father.
The other, Robert Plant who left his parents' home and set out to become someone in the music business: in 1968 he signed Led Zeppelin's first album.

This is to say that if you really want something you go get it!
