Step 3
After that, I glued the back part of the guitar on. So that finished of buiding the body of the guitar. I started cutting the guitar's neck out of a solid block of oak. I then stood by my dad's sander and sanded the neck for about a half an hour to get just the right curve. Then I drew a design for the head. I cut the design out and placed classical guitar tuning mechanisims inside the holes(which I should not have done.) If you know anything about the tension on the tuning mechanism you know why I should not have done this. If I go and skip a few steps of building the guitar to stringing it this is what happened. As I tightened the strings tighter and tighter the tuning device was bending more and more. I should have known this would happen. Esspecially since the tuning device was plastic.
