Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing a BYOGuitar.com guitar kit.  This kit includes everything you need to build a 
complete custom guitar.   

These instructions assume you are familiar with the anatomy of a guitar.  Many of the terms used are 
show in below diagram. 

 

 

 

Here is the order of operations to complete the guitar: 

 

Fit the neck. 

 

Drill the mounting holes for the bridge. 

 

Sand the body and neck. 

 

Sand some more! 

 

Finish the body and neck. 

 

Assemble the guitar. 

 

Wire it up. 

 

Final set up and adjustments. 

 

Plug it in and enjoy! 

It’s recommended that you assemble your guitar before applying the finish.  Drill all the holes to 
eliminate any accidental chipping of the finish while drilling.  Fit the neck and locate the bridge before 
finishing the guitar.  After the finish is complete all you should need to do is put it together and do some 
fine-tuning.
