Beautiful instrument…

My older son is consider making his own guitar. How would you suggest he start the effort? He has never attempted this kind of work before.

To get started just search online for info, there are tons of books about guitar building, also depending on skill level you can get kits. www.stewmac.com and www.lmii.com are good suppliers. It can be pretty expensive to just jump into with out some planning.

Man, that Bubinga gives it some kind of visual interest! Did you inlay the fingerboard yourself? What kind of pickups did you settle on? Great axe.

-- There's no tool like an old tool...

I did do the pearl inlay myself, the picture is very forgiving, I cant brag about how that turned out, Pickups are seymore duncans, a hotrails in the neck position and a qp jag at the bridge.

Stunning! Laurie was just asking me if bubinga wood can be used to make a guitar. I showed her your picture to answer the question. You’re right, making guitars can be expensive, so I’m taking baby steps in the planning stage so every coin is not wasted. Thanks for sharing!

Thats really cool. On the next one, if you’re going to make a distance between the bridge saddles and the tail piece, work out the harmonics distance and put a piezo pickup on the tail to get some cool ‘drone string’ harmonics.

is there really only 2 screws holding the neck on? Doesn’t it shift when you’re playing?

Or is it a Set neck, where it’s glued to the body?

-- When my wife ask's what I have to show for my wood working hobby, I just show her the splinters.
