Just Plain A Bad Idea To Do On Your Own. I Recommend Getting A Family Member With Some Wood-Working Experience To Supervise You. Otherwise, First Invest Some Time In Messing Around With Cheap Leftover Wood. I Suggest Getting Some Practice Before Trying To Make A Guitar From Scratch.
Is it possible to remove old inlays and add new ones of differnt design?
first practice, make a chair for starters, and then go to the guitar, i also want to do one but i think i would modernize my present one, paint the body or make a new one.
You are never going to learn how to do something by not doing it; don’t listen to those other people. Your first one should be made out of cheap wood, say pine or something else. Practice on that until you feel comfortable enough to use more expensive wood. You don’t want the pressure of using expensive wood right off the bat. Practice first, good luck!
yes, but get ready for a difficult job if you’re gonna do it yourself.
I’m doing this right now, if you have experience with wood it definitely helps, but really all you have to be able to do is work precisely and follow instructions well (assuming you’re going from plans, which I suggest you should because you could get all sorts of things wrong like the neck pitch [if you need it] or the scale length if you don’t work from plans)
***KISSING TEST***
don’t worry this isn’t scary or anything
this is how it works…
1.hold your breath
2.copy and paste to 1 video
if you can do that without taking one brethe CONGRATS IT MEANS YOUR A GREAT KISSER
how would i be able to take of the inlays of my guitar soo i can put a new disgn on it ???
As much time as I spend learning to play, there’s not enough time in life to buld a quality instrument. Not to mention you should understand the physics of resonance. I built a body in 1982. it took weeks just to shape the mahogany. Never finished it.
Count your fingers before AND after the project. Good luck.
does anyone know where i can find templates for body
make ur own?
ya but tha increases the chance some thing is off

Avoid vaccines, they contain things like Thimerosol(mercury), aluminum, MSG, aspartame/formaldehyde, cancerous mutagens, squalene etc that have all contributed to diseases such as Gulf War syndrome, ADD, Lupis, arthritus, Polio, Alzheimer’s, autism, AIDS, ALS, MS, allergies, asthma, the list is really endless. Now the good ol’ WHO is predicting 4.9 billion H1N1 “swine flu” vaccines to be produced…genocide.
The title is definitely non-representative. this should be called creating the neck pocket not “Leveling the neck on an electric guitar.”
