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. 

 

Sand the body and neck. 

 

Sand some more! 

 

Finish the body and neck. 

 

Assemble the guitar. 

 

Final set up and adjustments. 

 

Plug it in and enjoy! 

 

It’s recommended that you completely assemble your guitar before applying the finish.  Once you 

have completely drilled all the holes and assembled the guitar you can take it apart and do the finish 

work.  This will avoid any accidental chipping of the finish while drilling.  After the finish is complete 

all you should need to do is put it together and do some fine-tuning.
