JJ Rodriguez Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Pick up a copy of Melvyn Hiscock's "Build Your Own Electric Guitar". It explains A LOT and even goes step by step through the building of 3 guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherokee6 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I have a set of plans on pdf if you'd like. Send me your email address and I will forward them or, if there is an easier way thru this website, let me know as I'm a bit unfamiliar with all its features. Also a number of other books out there cover some aspects of building Hiscock doesn't cover. All the books I've seen still leave you with questions, hence this fantastic website and forum, but you may also want to consider Martin Oakham's Build your own Electric Guitar , Bill Foley's book or Martin Koch's book. I also have an e book I can send you, if you wish, from a builder in the UK. I have the Hiscock book also and its great. Oakham spends a lot of time on drawings and templates which is pretty helpful and gives you a set of full size plans. Koch has a lot of tips and some jigs in his book. My point is they all have their strong points so I find myself cross referencing for techniques and other questions I have. It's probably worth your while to get a couple of books as opposed to just one. The Hiscock book is great to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
