Welcome to Guide to Guitarbuilding
|
On this page you will find a complete guide to building
a electric guitar or bass, and some instructions about repair and setup.
This site has been up since 1999, and is still visited daily by a lot of users.
I got a lot of support from the visitors of this site, and hope I get as
much support this year as I got last year.
I started this page, because when I first got interested in guitarbuilding,
information about it was hard to find on the internet. There was little
information, and even fewer pictures with it. The resources and suppliers I
used then,and still use, are now in the links section. You will also find
downloads for CAD file viewers, and calculation sheets/progs there.
In the Basic Guitar parts section you can find the names for most guitar
parts.
The Construction section and the Dimensions section Explain about different
types neck and hardware constructions and dimensions.
In the Downloads section you can download CAD and DXF drawings of my guitar
projects, visitor submitted drawings,routing templates, calculation sheets,
CAD-software, and much more.
In the Photo album you will find photo's of my projects, as well as guest
submitted photo's.
The very extensive Materials section and the Hardware section helps you
choose wood types, and hardware types (e.g.. bridge, pickups, etc.).
The Tools section explains about most luthier tools and how to use them, as
well as power tools "required" for guitarbuilding.
In the Tutorials section you can read and submit helpfull tips and tricks.
Then there is the weblinks sections. Here you will find guitarpart
suppliers, links to other builders and interesting sites.
A very useful addition to this site is the shop. Here you can shop around
for books about guitarbuilding.
There's also a forum for those with interests in group discussions about
guitarbuilding and setup, keep it interesting and open to others : post
guitarbuilding related questions only on the forum.
