Step 1


I'm guessing you might want to know more about my guitar I've built pictured near the bottom of the page. After all how many 14 year old kids get to build there own guitar. When I started out building it I had no idea what I was getting into. With limited wood, and very few tools, along with very little knowledge of how to construct a guitar I set out to accomplish my goal. At first I started building the guitars body out of a 1/8 inch sheet of wood lying around in the garage. I used my Gibson Epiphone as a template and drew my design on 2 pieces. One for the back and one for the front. Then I cut out the circular sound holes. In bettween these peices I placed 5 oak curves to take the shape of the guitar.
