Making an experimental V shaped electric guitar part 1/2

 




















Tools and materials:

Metallic guitar pickup

Block plane

No4 hand plane

Chisel set

Jointer planer

Table saw

Bandsaw

Cordless drill

Rotary tool

Volume pot

Output jack

Control knob

Belt sander

Flat rasp

Round rasp

Flat file

Plunge router

Spoke shave


In this video I begin to make a DIY V shaped electric guitar out of beech wood and metal.


I begun by making a full size template out of cardboard. 


I then planed my wood and cut it roughly n the bandsaw.


I then glued the body pars together. 


Next I sanded the body and added a round over with the router. 


Next I cut the basic shape of the neck. 


I routed out the neck joint on the body. I used a chisel and plane to make it fit right. 


Then I routed and chiseled the pickup pocket. 


Out of a sheet of metal I cut my metal parts with the angle grinder. I then fine tuned them with files. 


At this point I stopped. The build will continue and finish on the next video. 


I hope you liked it so far because that was it, see you soon with the next and final part.
