If you want to know how to build a guitar, one of the best ways to learn is by building a guitar from parts.
It's easy to learn how to build a parts guitar. Because you don't have to do the hard work of cutting and shaping the neck and body, or selecting the wood, you can build a guitar that's better for you than anything you can buy in a music store.
You can build your guitar with pickups that give you the tone you're looking for, with a neck that fits your hands perfectly, and a look and finish that is uniquely your own.
If you're serious about learning how to build a guitar from scratch, building a guitar from parts is a good first step. Once you've mastered assembly and setup, you could work backwards from that and learn how to make a neck and body from raw wood and fretwire, or even wind your own pickups!
Next time we'll talk about a parts list you can use to figure out how to build a guitar.
