Material Detail

This resource from the Guitarbuilding.org project was created to accompany guitar making workshops held at Purdue University. The module outlines the basic steps involved in making a guitar from a kit: students will prepare the guitar's body for finishing, contour and shape the body, design the headstock, prepare the fretboard and the neck along with a number of other involved steps. The document is no substitute for an instructor's advice on guitar building, but would be helpful for students learning how guitars are manufactured or as a supplement to a long-term in-class project. A useful appendix of additional reading materials and suppliers is also provided.
