mattharris75 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah, i've been lurking around for a few months and i'll give you the easy answer. The process in a nutshell: Buy Melvyn Hiscock's book and read it cover to cover. Read all the tutorials on this site. There's a few links if you search that people have done where they detail their guitar builds beginning to end, with instructions. Follow the forums for a while and read all the threads to see the kind of problems people are running into. Once you feel confident, work your way through the entire design of the guitar mentally and on paper/computer. Then ask any intelligent questions you can't find answers to. Start your build, and if you run into trouble, come back here for more help. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
