Grant Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi everyone my name is grant. I am totally new to the world of guitar building. I was wondering if anyone could give me any websites or book titles, when I decide to start building, which will be a while, I was thinking about something an old style fender precision type thing, I was wondering if you guys could help me find some ideas. Thanks Grant Quote Link to comment
thegarehanman Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Do yourself a favor and buy the book "Build Your Own Electric Guitar" by Melvin Hisock. Also, read through all of the tutorials in the tutorials section on ProjectGuitar.com. peace, russ Quote Link to comment

araz Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 The book from this website is the best I've found http://www.buildyourguitar.com/ Along with this website (PG) you should be able to answer most questions. Araz Quote Link to comment
Mattia Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Melvyn Hiscock's 'Make Your Own Electric Guitar' is excellent, IMO the best single book you can buy on making electric guitars. It'll give you a firm basis/grounding and help you make the most of the informaiton you can find here, at the MIMF.com, and on the net. It's enough to get you through the construction of your first electric (be it bolt on, set neck or neck through) on your own, though, should you need to. Quote Link to comment
