In 2021, ANYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A GUITAR ! So here's a comprehensive guide to guitar making for anyone who's always dreamed of building a guitar from scratch, no matter if you already know your way around woodworking or not.
So, you've watched part 1 and then decided to buy the tools, the wood, and maybe part of the hardware. You’ve also printed the plans, and now you're sitting there, wondering what to do with it, with your friends and family silently disapproving of your new choice of hobby (bird watching wasn’t that much fun anyway).
Well now is time to prove them wrong, as I’m going to show you exactly what to do with it !
This is part two of a 4 parts series. To sum it up:
Part 1: everything you need to know and buy (a must-watch if you don't know anything about guitar making)
Part 2: first part of the construction guide
Part 3: second and last part of the construction guide
Part 4: how to use the tools if you’ve never touched a single woodworking tool in your life
Important notes: everything is millimeters, and when I say “mil”, I do mean “mm”, it’s just that I have the hardest time trying to say the word millimeter :)
