My new project over the next couple of weeks.
« on: August 05, 2009, 02:30:01 AM »
I'm not sure if this is the right section but...

I'm going to build myself an electric guitar from scratch. And I will have a special surprise in it too.

Haha... Wait that's not a bad idea xD

I was typing this same message on my computer outside but then a rat ran into my garage...

So I'm on my lappy in the house lol.



A quick design I threw up in PS. But it's only a quick one. Body made out of beech and some black acrylic. It will have a maple neck and a (not shown here) ebony fretboard.

I hope you know what you're getting into.... Building the entire guitar from scratch won't be an easy feat at all. Unless you get a pre-made fretboard, and can line everything up nice and tight relatively easily.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna :censored: on your parade, and good luck building it, but I'd strongly suggest you do your homework on making one. There's a lot to factor into making one of these bad boys.

Yeah, believe it or not there's a :censored:ton of math involved with both the making of music and musical instruments.

I disagree with part of your statement.

Musical instruments do need a lot of maths involved. Music on the other hand...

I make music as a hobby, and I have not come into contact with a single bit of maths in my time as a producer.

For a guitar, the frets need to correlate with the length of the strings, and its a very complex equation for each string, and you need very good precision too

If you look at it from a very technical aspect, it is. For the most part, we don't think about it. Our brains figure out the things that matter for us. My point was also correlating with Dhruv's post. Making music is an art, and it comes naturally to some. Making guitars, or any other fine crafts involves a specific talent, and is also an art. Not everyone can make guitars or make music. Thats all.

I understand that is is going to be one hell of a task, but it will be the satisfaction of completing it and playing it.

You could always just buy a electric, take it apart, strip the paint off the body, then using spare wood (Try use the same wood as the original wood, cheaper guitars use plywood btw) and alot of wood filer and super glue, you can create a custom shape, then paint over it

Ive done it, works awesomely

Dude you'll be more than a few weeks making an eletric guitar from scratch.
guitar's have no margin of error,if you mess up the spacing on your frets by even a mm,it won't play.If the neck radius isn't perfect,your'se screwed.
It took me 6 months to build a superstrat from parts,there was alot of custom work like trim,inlays,floyd rose etc. etc.
if you're making it from scratch you need to buy jigs and specialist tools,my friend is a luthier,he spent 400 euro for just the basic jigs.
If you need advice on anything to do with guitars give me a shout,if there's anybody on here who knows anything about building guitars,it's me.

I doon't have the money for this, and it seems to be much harder than I first thought.
