So, your obsessed with guitars to an almost unhealthy point - there the first and last thing you think about during the day. You get withdrawal symptoms every day you dont play and your living of tins of beans in order just to save the money to buy a new guitar. Now you want to have a crack at building your own all dancing all singing guitar -so what work will go into making it?
- The expense of building it. This wont be cheap -think about the prices of the good wood for the guitar, then the prices of the electronics if building an electric and then the paint job. Then there is the tools you are going to need for the job, cutting out the bodies shape is going to require specialist tools.
- Practice. If your a person whose not had much experiece using wood cutting tools, practice should be a priority. Your not going to be good at this straight away, and you dont really wanna to start on expensive wood, and make a mistake that cant be fixed. So by practicing on cheaper wood will save you time and if you make a mistake, its all part of the learning experience. When you start cutting the body and doing all of the woodwork, you'll be glad you took the time to perfect this stage.
- Wiring. Primaily a point for the electric guitar builders out there, as once youve completed work on the body, you'll get to the electrics. Try very hard not to electrocute yourself, as getting the wiring wrong can do just this. Get a qualified electrician to overview your handywork or do it for you before you put the electrics into the guitar.
These are just a few things to consider, but if thats too much work you can always just buy electric guitars from these guys.
