DIY

 

Kit

 

 

Thank

 

you

 

for

 

purchasing

 

this

 

DIY

 

Guitar

 

Kit.

 

The

 

following

 

instructions

 

specify

 

how

 

to

 

assemble

 

your

 

guitar.

 

There

 

are

 

a

 

variety

 

of

 

finishes

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

applied

 

to

 

the

 

guitar,

 

and

 

it

 

is

 

up

 

to

 

you

 

to

 

choose

 

the

 

style

 

that

 

best

 

suits

 

you.

 

Information

 

on

 

how

 

to

 

apply

 

the

 

finishes

 

are

 

readily

 

available

 

on

 

the

 

internet.

 

We

 

recommend

 

a

 

little

 

research

 

to

 

find

 

your

 

favoured

 

finishing

 

method.

 

All

 

of

 

our

 

headstocks

 

are

 

provided

 

‘uncut’.

 

This

 

gives

 

you

 

the

 

opportunity

 

to

 

be

 

creative

 

and

 

design

 

your

 

own,

 

or

 

copy

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

popular

 

styles.

 

For

 

this,

 

we

 

recommend

 

marking

 

the

 

shape

 

out

 

with

 

a

 

pencil,

 

cutting

 

the

 

design

 

with

 

a

 

Coping

 

Saw

 

or

 

Jigsaw,

 

and

 

then

 

finishing

 

off

 

with

 

sandpaper.

 

We

 

have

 

not

 

supplied

 

full

 

instructions

 

for

 

this,

 

as

 

the

 

process

 

will

 

depend

 

on

 

your

 

individual

 

design.

 

Again,

 

an

 

internet

 

search

 

engine

 

search

 

will

 

provide

 

far

 

more

 

relevant

 

instructions

 

than

 

we

 

would

 

be

 

able

 

to

 

provide.

 

The

 

guitar

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

be

 

fully

 

‘set

up’

 

after

 

construction.

 

This

 

is

 

the

 

process

 

to

 

make

 

the

 

guitar

 

fully

 

playable.

 

Numerous

 

video

 

guides

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

online,

 

and

 

we

 

recommend

 

searching

 

on

 

popular

 

video

 

streaming

 

sites.

 

Alternatively,

 

the

 

guitar

 

can

 

be

 

professionally

 

set

 

up

 

by

 

your

 

local

 

professional

 

Luthier.

 

 

Before

 

you

 

start

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

make

 

sure

 

you

 

have

 

the

 

following

 

tools

 

to

 

hand:

 

 

Soldering

 

Iron

Enjoy

 

building

 

your

 

Guitar!
