Building an Electric Guitar: A Low Cost Approach for the Home Workshop

Glen Davis shows you how to turn ordinary construction-grade lumber into a playable electric guitar.

There is something for every aspect of the build, including paint and finish, and design and part choices. This book covers everything you need to build an electric guitar using standard lumber yard materials, and tools that should be in the average home shop. Glen has built and repaired many guitars.
