Building an Electric Guitar: A Low Cost Approach for the Home Workshop, Paperback

Glen Davis shows you how to turn ordinary construction-grade lumber into a playable electric guitar. This book covers building a body and neck from ordinary lumber, and continues on to more complex tasks of guitar building such as changing the fret scale, installing and leveling frets, and guitar setup. There is something for every aspect of the build, including paint and finish, and design and part choices. This book covers everything you need to build an electric guitar using standard lumber yard materials, and tools that should be in the average home shop. Glen has built and repaired many guitars. This book is an attempt to remove some of the mystery from the process, and make building a guitar possible for anyone who has tools and ability. Over 100 full color pictures.
