Tools you will need
We do everything we can to make building your guitar straight-forward. Besides the materials to finish the
guitar (paint, stain, sealant, etc.) you shouldn’t need anything else that most people don’t already have in
their garages (such as a soldering iron, or saws). Nor do you need to do any exacting measurements that
might make it difficult to get a high quality instrument. You do, however, need a short list of tools and
supplies:
•
#1 Phillips Screwdriver (small)
•
#2 Phillips Screwdriver (medium)
•
Short metal ruler (6”) with 1/32” markings or feeler gauges
•
Needle-nosed pliers
•
Painters or Masking Tape
•
Wood Finishing Materials
•
Bar soap or wax candle
•
Large towel or work cloth (big enough to lay a guitar on)
•
10mm socket or box wrench for tuning machines and pot/switch nuts
•
Allen wrench for truss rod adjustments (provided with kit)
•
Wood glue (Titebond III recommended)
•
Clamps and wood blocks
Additionally, you will be much happier and the setup steps detailed belove will be much easier to perform if
you have the following:
•
a capo
•
a chromatic electronic tuner
