My buddy thought it would be a good idea to challenge my woodworking skills by building an instrument (one I don't play but he does…). I am naive, so I agreed. I chose the use the Grizzly Telecaster kit. The body is made of ash. It has a maple neck. For less than $150, I was impressed with what...

A special guitar build required a special guitar travel case. The guitar I just recently finished has some extra electronics that will travel with it. I figured a custom travel case to keep everything together made sense. The case needs to hold the guitar, MIDI pedal board, power cord, and...

I made this Acoustic Telecaster Guitar from a single 8-foot 2×4 for the Summers Woodworking 2×4 contest. I used telecaster templates to make the body and neck. The body consists of glued up blocks for sides and thin resawn pieces of 2×4 to cover the top and back. I cut cotter pins for the...

This.is.my first attempt at a wooden truck. So far so good. I'm learning some new things along the way. Having fun making this all from pallet wood.

Here is my second guitar build. This was a semi-hollow telecaster. I tried for a tiger's eye finish using aniline dyes and a nitrocellulose lacquer over a figured maple top (the body is alder with hollow chambers). I put a five way switch in it to split the neck humbucker and create all sorts of...

A guy at my church loves building guitars and amplifiers (both the woodworking and electronics). He offered to help guide me through the process, and I jumped at the chance. It's been a long time coming - I've been working on it in between a lot of other projects, but it's finally finished! I...

After a few years of wanting to build my own T-style guitar this is the result. Three peice walnut body and maple neck. I really enjoyed using Tru-Oil as a finish and love the finish it has. I decided to not fill the grain since there is a check on one side and a few interesting knots here and...

One of my sons' has been an avid Guitar player since his early high school days. He graduated in 1971. I always told him, that I'd build him a guitar someday. So in 2003, I finally came through with the promise. I had a lot of left over wood from various projects, so I decided to make a...

Figured it was time to show a project and introduce myself. A chambered telecaster style guitar with bubinga over mahogany (sapelle). I try to do as much as I can, including winding the pickups. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vTkdVnA_s20/VaAlSbGfzWI/AAAAAAAAAG8/mlDOkKzslFc/s1600/Bubinga%2B3.jpg

My sister-in-law's father found this wood on his father's farm after his father passed away. He brought it back to Ontario and stored it in his workshop until he decided upon a suitable project for it. Sadly he passed away before he could do anything with it. I inherited several of his tools...
