Construction Photos of guitar built from these plans. You can build this guitar from a variety of woods. The example below is white maple. A 3/4" thick planed board, 72" long x 8" was used. The board was cut in half to get two 36"x8"x3/4" pieces. These pieces where glued together to get an 1 1/2" body block. The outline of the guitar was printed on 8 1/2"x11" paper and taped together. The paper template was traced on the body blank and cut out with a band saw. (You could use a jig saw instead). The headstock/peghead with "thinned" and angle to 3 degrees and 1/2"thick on the band saw. (You could use other saws, planes and chisels to get the peghead shape). The cavities for the electronics and picukp where cut with a forstner bit and a dremel tool.
