The following tools and supplies are recommended to as-
semble your kit . Though all of these tools aren’t necessary
to build your kit, they make many assembly steps easier
and more professional . Where applicable, item numbers for
ordering from Stewart-MacDonald are included .
For binding installation
, you have a couple of different
options to choose from depending on the tools you already
own . If you plan on using a laminate trimmer or router for
binding channels, we suggest our Binding Router Bit Set
(#1298) . It is our preferred method . If you plan on routing
your binding channels with a Dremel tool, our Precision
Router Set (#5263) ships with everything you will need .

Recommended tools and supplies
and the season, you may need to humidify or dehumidify
your shop to maintain the desired relative humidity . It is ad-
visable to purchase a thermometer/hygrometer to monitor
your shop’s climate . If you’re unable to control the relative
humidity in your shop, we discourage building the guitar
during the transition from dry to wet seasons, or vise versa .
The radical change in humidity can cause warping, splitting
or other serious complications .
Throughout the assembly of the kit you’ll need a flat work-
board of 3/4" plywood approximately 24" long and 20" wide,
big enough for your guitar’s body assembly .
Be safe when using tools, glues, and chemicals. Wear
eye protection and gloves when needed, and always
use proper ventilation.
You are about to build a truly great guitar! We designed this
kit with the small shop builder and a modest tool budget
in mind, with the exception of a few specialty guitar mak-
ing tools .
Please read these instructions before building your guitar .
They were written to include all variations of our Dread-
nought Acoustic Guitar Kit . Options include dovetail or
bolt-on neck, and back and side woods of either mahogany
or rosewood .
Also, it’s very important to acclimate the wood to your build-
ing environment . The ideal building environment tempera-
ture is 70-80° Fahrenheit, with a controlled relative humidity
of 45-50% . The kit wood should be laid out and allowed to
“equalize” for one week in your shop . Flip the wood daily to
neutralize excessive warping . Depending upon your location
