Guitarity - a rather complicated, but interesting area of \u200b\u200bmusical case. Of course, it is not suitable for beginners, but experienced guitarists may try their strength in this matter. This will allow you to make a tool that will arrange you, as well as create guitars to order, and getting enough money from it. In this section, we will tell you in detail about, as well as give the detailed guide to this case.

Before starting work

Before starting the work on the manufacture of the guitar, you will need to prepare the tools. This includes:

- Different types of wood that you need

- glue for wood

- sealant

- Entrait

- Zaizima

- Drill

- Cutter

- Lacques for coating

MoreoverYou will need drawings for marking. It will be enough to.

Most often for the manufacture of an acoustic guitar used cedar and fir, however, you can experiment with different types of wood to get your own sound. Very common walnut tree, which is popular in Western guitars. We recommend starting from these materials, since they are most easily working with them.

Also, pay attention to the quality of wood. It is characterized by an indicator from A to AAAA, and it strongly affects the price. For the first time, take the wood of the average price, and later begin to buy the most expensive options. So you will protect yourself from the loss of money with an unsuccessful manufacture.

How to make an acoustic guitar? 17 steps for the manufacture of the guitar do it yourself

1. Selecting a tree for the manufacture of a guitar

We already painted this moment in detail in paragraph above. INproduction of acoustic guitar in this guide, we used a nutpreen and cedar. In the future, try to consider Mahagony or a rosewood, as they give a pretty warm and unusual .

2. Production of guitar decks. Trimming and installing wooden parts

So, first of all, we needmake a piece of guitar . In this case, you need to make the top and bottom of the back of the deck. In this case, the rear part of the deck consists of two half. You need to achieve this result so that the link line of these two pieces is not visible when gluing, and that they are perfectly even relative to each other. To do this, take two sheets of wood that you prepared initially, and start polishing them with the help of sandpaper. We will have to grind for a long time, in order for the deck to be smooth and without some pinch or chips. In addition, you need a special thickness - this is 2.5 millimeters for the upper part, and 3 millimeters for the bottom. The most convenient thing in this case is to use a grinding machine, however you can try to do it and sandpaper, which will be much longer and more problematic.

After that, you will need to draw the deck on ready-made pieces of wood. You can find the schemes on the Internet yourself - because there is no single format, and everything is limited to your taste and fantasy.

3. Sound hole. Socket and inlay

For the next stage, you absolutely need to be needed tool for cutting on wood. It may be an ordinary logsik, however it is best to purchase a specialized wood cutting tool. After marking the drawings of the scene, you will need to cut it. First, drill the hole in the center, then use the nozzle for circular cutting. Be sure to follow the diameter and carefully recheck everything - it is critical for good sound.

After that, you need to cut the strips of wood that will be glued in the inside of the deck in accordance with the drawing. Their thickness should be approximately 2mm. Make sure that they are perfectly correlated with the guitar case.

After that, go to decorative stickers. Here it is limited only to your fantasy and the possibility of making an individual guitar.

4. Build clips

The next step in the manufacture of an acoustic guitar - this is an assembly of side clamps that strengthen thin wood. The recommended tree for it is a Sit fir, however, you can use cedar. Cut pieces according to the drawing and place them according to the drawing. After that, secure them with each other and take two half, which will continue to strike a dec. They must be a little more than its diameter.

5. Making a mold and flexion of the parties

The next step in the manufacture of the guitar - this is the creation of a wooden strip, which will close the clips, and give the guitar one-piece appearance. The first option of their manufacture is the creation of a piece of plywood something that repeats the guitar in form, or create the same thing, but of two large pieces. To do this, you can use pneumatic fillers. You will need a 2x4 panel.

The most difficult thing is to bend it the wood. To do this, you will need to either pull it out for a long time, or use steam and special tools. In addition, you will need an iron form, which you also need to either make, or purchase on the Internet. After you pacify wood and make it flexible and plastic, you will need to put it in the form and bend it as you need. Be sure to lock it up and leave to dry, then remove it. Next, glue it with the clips using wood glue.

6. Creation of propilov, inlay in the tail and fitting of the griff

First, you will need to attach two strips of wood on the inner side of the rim, for one of which vulture will be located. First, soak them in water for better plasticity, then fasten one on the bottom of the strip. Give adhesion day to dry, and then - repeat the process. Sandage to polish them so that they do not play the edge of the bending sheet.

The easiest is the neck to purchase on the Internet, and not cut it yourself. Usually they are sent already with a finished neckline for , as well as bolts for attachment. Cut the wooden panel that closes the sinus to enter anchor, as well as dry the tree. Collect it. Mark two holes that are on the Guitar Grope, on its package and correctly relate them to them. It is necessary to align everything perfectly, and after all the markings are made, connect them with bolts.

After that, place the anchor in the sinus for the grid. Close the special strip to the neck to be solid, and you could further impose a lining on it. After that, separate the neck from the case - in the future you can attach it using bolts that stated before.

7. Build corps

After that, it's time to collect the case. First, carefully cut the desired gaps under the neck and lining on the top and bottom of the deck, after which the task becomes not so difficult. You need to just easily connect the finished parts with each other as accurately as possible, glue them, secure the tape or something else, and then give glue time to dry.

After that, cut down the small strips of the tree that you post around the edges, placing them and protecting against dents. Soak them so that they are well bent, and shook on the edges.

8. Preparation of Grid

Next step - Preparation . Using the tools, give him the form you want, stamp holes, and then drill them. Entry paper should be treated so that it is smooth and without any pinch. After that, apply paint on it, or leave the original color of the tree.

9. Inlay in the padding on the neck

If desired, the neck can be decorated with wood inserts. To do this, you will need to make a deepening in the form of jewelry that you want to put, and then put an addition to the glue, very much pressed it.

10. Production and installation of a padding on the neck

The next step is – production of pads on the neck. Thus, you will celebrate the Lada with special inserts. First, you, of course, you need to prepare it - cut in shape and clean it. After that, the markup time came. To begin with, you will need to place the frets. Do it in accordance with the instructions, or make measurements from the already finished game. After that, make a deepening along the lines of the lads - in the future you will insert the steel stripes there. The next step - drill a small deepening for the washers that will denote the frets. Next you will need a strong press that will help you drive all metal parts of the tree. It is desirable at the same time to soak it slightly and after the head of the ladoons - dry.

11. Assembling Grifa

First of all, you need to fill the anchor gutter and close it specially prepared by the board. After that, lubricate the lining with glue and place it on the neck. Press it using an extra wooden board, then let me dry and clean the brace with sandpaper once again. In addition, you will need a lid for anchor. You can make it from any piece of wood carved in the form and planted on the bolts.

12. Production of a protective drop (Golieador) on the top deck

You can make it any form you wish. Just cut the protective drop from plastic or thin wood you need and put it on the glue. The most important thing here is to polish it as high quality.

13. Lakovka

After that follows the stage of varnishing. Everything is very simple here - with the help of polyethylene, separated those details that need to be lacquered from those that do not need. This is, first of all, the grinding, socket, and the place under the stand. Just get it on top of the guitar so that in the future it is possible to separate it.

14. Installation of the stand

After that, check how well the strings are sitting after installing the stand. It is best to make it a simple measurement, approximately submitting it to her height. If they lie on the grief - it is bad. Try to lift the bridge with wood lining, which will be located under the bridge.

15. Finishing strokes

After you post everything you need - it's time for varnishing. Use any tool varnish, especially a good option - in aerosol cans. It is best to apply 10 layers of varnish, a little spinning each of the layers for smoothness. In addition, it is recommended to make a separate box to apply lacquer in it. Of course, use respiratory tract protection tools. After the layers are solidified during the week, polish them.

16. Installation of Stand II

After that, it's time to install a bridge. Remove the holes for strings on the markup inside the case and the Breeza itself, and then put it on the glue. Your task is to calculate everything as accurate as possible. If you all did right, then you will have a spot under Bridge, which is formed after applying varnish - orient to it.

17. Final Shagi

The last thing to be done in the task"How to make a guitar at home" - police tool, stretch the strings and adjust on anchor . Remember that the glue must be allowed to dry carefully, then carry out all these manipulations. If you did everything right, then you must have a playing acoustic guitar.

The post is not in the format of Kadabra, I apologize in advance. The Kadabra engine is both convenient for writing long-term places, because it was decided to use it. In addition, the "plug" is for communication on any topic. Why not talk about guitar with cadabrov

All my guitar life I was interested in the process of creating a tool. I read about the factory, watched a video about the office of the Custom Shop, watched as the familiar and familiar shapes of stratov and Lespolov were born out of pieces of wood. Vitaly thoughts - and not try to buy the right materials and cut the aques of Dad Carlo own, made by your own guitar. And what was done exactly as I want, and not as I solved the marketing department of some promoted brand. Stayed the absence of a number of expensive tools and equipment - it would take a milling machine at least. Yes, the skill of working with these tools and equipment was obviously not zero.

But everything is so hopeless.

It turned out that there are products like Guitar Kit. That is, it is just a set of more or less ready-made details, of which anyone able to handle a screwdriver can collect a completely efficient tool. It includes, as a rule, the housing and neck prepared and prepared for painting and the vulture (in the vulture are already packed by the freight and anchor is inserted), a set of fittings (bridge, rods) and electronics. In some initial level sets, the electronics will be already swollen, and when assembling it will be necessary to simply connect the connectors, i.e. Even the skill of ownership of the soldering iron will not need.

In more advanced whales, the head of the grid is left unseen, and you can give it any desired form

Without a long time thinking, I was purchased by the Harley Benton Les Paul Kit set - it was even sold in one of the St. Petersburg stores, and did not even have to wait for delivery. The price of the question is about 4500r.

More details

It comes in this box

Inside packed, the case of the lamb, neck, bridge Tune-O-Matic, slices, buttons for the belt, sawdust electronics, caps, fasteners - just enough.

There is a visual instruction in German and English. I have been challenged that there is a discrepancy between two versions of the instruction: in the English ring fasten with the key, and in German - hardcore by passats.))

Corps, alas, unlike Tru-Gibson-Lespola, is made from Linden. Top - Maple. But the top canonical convex Arch-Top form. There were fears that it would be flat, but no - everything is as necessary.

All necessary cavities, channels and holes are broken and drilled in the housing, and the plastic edging around the perimeter is glued, the wood is ground and covered with soil - that is, everything is ready to paint and assembly. By the way, only the hull is prepared "from the box" under painting, the neck is assumed to be left as it is, it is even at a small layer of matte varnish.

Nevertheless, there are some unreachable applications. In cavities stick out burrs, offering and sawdust

By the way, the body is glued down from three pieces, which is very strongly striking from the opposite side)

The method of fastening the griff in our case - on bolts. The pocket of the grid also requires refinement - the surface is uneven and the contact stain with a vulture will leave much to be desired. Moreover, the angle of inclination of the griff, if we do nothing with your pocket, it will be close to 0 degrees, which is radically incorrect for an LP-like guitar. We need a value of about 4 degrees - the vulture must be chosen, for we have an Arch Top and Tune-O-Matic. So either grind the pocket and the heel of the grid, or put on the heel closer to the 22th Lada some subtle chips of the required thickness. Without this, it will be possible to play comfortably, since the strings will hang too high above the vulture even with the maximum recessed Bridge.

Vulture is made of maple, lining material - rosewood.

The head is very similar to Lespolny, and if you wish, you can make it identical cutting out at its end the so-called "open book"

Standard for LP 22 Lada, edging, inlay trapezes for a pearl - for the budget tool it looks pretty pretty

Alas, the shoals are also found. One of the lands are inactively incredible - the remains of glue stick out of it. In general, the Lada will need to grind to achieve the maximum low Action (string height) for a comfortable game without a ring.

With the heel of the grid, too, not all well. In general, there is a feeling that stamps are used for these budget whales, which came to rejection on the Harley Benton conveyor line and they were allowed into budget sets. Nevertheless, it is all not particularly critical and fixable

But with the anchor, everything is fine - it works without complaints, does not start, the deflection of the grill is set up correctly.

The place of plides of the head in the neck is made very carefully. There is no fear that the head will crack and fall off, no.

In general, the vulture is not without flaws, but you can live with him. What you can not say about the electronics.

First, it is incomprehensible No-Name pickups. Secondly, a wonderful idea about the connection of the components on the connectors is broken by the quality of implementation - the soldering harness, contact in the connectors is unreliable - if you are going to play a guitar for more than a couple of times a year, it is better to get rid of the connectors and solder everything in human.

Already on the assembled guitar, it was discovered that the scheme of the volume of volume potentiometers is absolutely incorrect - they work as variable resistors, and not as potentiometers, which naturally destroys the sound and makes it impossible any adequate work with the handles. Therefore, for a normal sound, the soldering iron will be necessary.

Painting

Since it is necessary to leave the guitar unpainted, we begin the preparation of the body and the griff. First you need to decide on the painting materials. You can write a separate treatise on this topic, therefore I will try to set out everything compressed and understandable.

It is not worth going to the instruction that tells us that we can go to any shopping store and paint the body of paint from the canister. A big misconception that the electric guitar is not important from what material it is done - yes, the fluctuations of the strings are removed by the pickup, but the nature of these oscillations directly depends on the material with which the string interacts is the bridges, bridge, the wood of the housing and the grid, and their coating. Therefore, than the musical instrument fell, it is impossible to paint.

You can use nitrocrays, polyurethane and water-based paints. Accordingly, the varnishes are also applied either on nitroosna, or polyurethane. Nitro is more canonically (all old tools are covered with nitroloma), less affects the sound, but less firmly. Polyurethane is stronger, but more effectively affects the sound.

I chose a water-based paint, and if more precisely, it's not entirely paint, and the brain Tury color is "plum". Varnish decided to use NC-218 nitrocellulose TCS.

The preparation of the body is starting from sanding and removing the primer layer - as I decided to use the veil, it should be applied without soil so that it can absorb into the wood and punish it. At the same time, at this stage, I adjusted the profile of the Grid - it was closer to D-Shape, and I rounded it a little, clinging to a convenient C-Shape. After that, we put the cavity with painting scotch and proceed to the color.

Due to the fact that I was too lazy to carefully sand the housing, somewhere the ground remained, because the veil did not want to get absorbed

It was necessary to fiercely rub the tampon, otherwise she simply flowed from the surface.

Spent on this process for several days

Workplace)

An attempt to make the effect of Sunberst Alas failed. Maybe another time ...

Vulture also decided to paint the verse

As a result, the stage of applying paint-vertery ended approximately this:

Not everything turned out as I would like - my laziness, rebound and curvature of hands. Theoretically, everything could be done more beautiful. But, in principle, the resulting vintage-constituent-shabby form made me quite aimed, there was something funny in it)

Next, there was a lacquer. Since everything happened on the territory of the ordinary apartment, it was necessary to solve the problem with ventilation - nitroquac toxic and stoych. Moreover, at that moment was winter, and for work with this varnish required a strictly defined temperature. Therefore, respirators were purchased and the balcony was temporarily converted to an improvised painting chamber. The thermometer is hanged and the heat cannon is installed to maintain the desired temperature.

To the pocket of the grid of the body screwed a wooden rail to be forged to rotate the case in the process of applying varnish, and suspended the entire design to the stepladder.

Graph just put on top of a stepladder

I tried to do the layers as thinner as possible, and just 4-5 layers would do - I wanted the most thin coverage. It turned out such glossy glossy neck and hull

Sinterily

Of course, it is impossible to leave this in this form. Laca grinding is required. First you need to wait until the lacquer layers are finally dried and grabbed. In different sources, I read about different times for nitrolak - someone talks about the week, and someone about 2 months old. I waited a little less than a week, perhaps this is not very correct, but I wanted to collect and play a long-awaited guitar already)

For grinding, emery sheets were bought with graininess from 400 to 2500. I will not paint in detail, since I don't remember exactly how many graduation had to grind. I acted intuitively, trying not to overdo it, did not overheat the lacquer - grinding my hands, without a typewriter, nevertheless I knew not to risk. Used water. A pair of evenings took the grinding.

At the very end, a auto-polyarol and a rag from microfiber was applied. Gradually, the guitar gained a more or less civilized species

The last strategic strokes remained - drawing graphite paint in the cavity where electronics will be located for shielding. This can be neglected, nevertheless, if we want to achieve the lack of background, tip and get rid of listening to the Radio "Lighthouse" through a guitar amplifier, it is worth doing.

It remains to put the belt holders and cavity cover. The set of strings also comes in the kit, so we stretch the strings and proceed to the primary setting. If everything was done correctly, then the result should be:

P.S.

As it is not surprising, the tool obtained at the exit is quite suitable in application. Yes, it is not Lespol, but remember that we gave only 4500 for it (not counting paintworks). It sounds at the level of the category of category from 10,000 to 20,000. I decided to compare it with my Schecter Revenger 7 purchased for 12,000, in which the EMG81-7 sensors (707) were installed and a number of improvements were made and was pleased that the home-made Lespol was not Worse (with a correction for sensors)

Later I changed the stock bridge unbearable pickup on Seymour Duncan JB. Replacement result can be heard on the video below:

As a result, having a Shecter Revenger 7 and Washburn Dime 332 in arsenal, I still play most of the time on the homemade Lespol, it turned out to be comfortable and pleasant.

Hello, humanity. Today I will tell you how I did my first electric guitar. Make it can be accurately each, and from all sorts of rubbish. It was the initial goal when I pick it up, in 14 years.

It was my first handmade guitar. Therefore, she looks not very, and the sound is not the best, but it gives her his charm. The guitar works, that is, you can play on it (or learn how I), and this is the main thing. In addition, the manufacture of this electric guitar is the magnificent experience and the next tool was already much better.
I advise you, immediately stock all the fittings, to bring the guitar to the working condition immediately, and not to suffer then with a semi-prepared tool.
You will need:

• Pickups.
• Lada.
• Rods.
• Strings.
• It is desirable, the upper birthday and bridge, but they also have homemade.

I started with decks. Of course, it would be nice to make some musical tree from a whole board (maple, spruce, alder, etc.). I made it from three pieces of plywood 10 mm. They are all even different size. I spawned the biggest plywood in the form of an arrow. On the Internet there is a huge amount of deck stencils for an electric guitar, but you can show fantasy and come up with something.

Corpus, until we leave alone. Take a vulture. I cut it out of the maple board. The markup turned out as follows:

• Length - 650 mm;
• Width - 50 mm;
• The width of the upper module is 45 mm;

Wood, by the way very suitable. The following action is an insertion of an anchor or anchor bolt. Anchor is a screw that is screwed into the shaft of the griff (where the grip head). It protects the neck from bending during string tension. But I thought so that for specifically, this guitar is not needed. In addition, the brown electric guitars really exist. Also, the neck will do without a lining. From the front side (where there are frets) we proceed with a blast furnace and grinding ribbon, giving it a rounded shape.
Now, from back the side, the edge is also necessary to give an arcuate form. Do as me, i.e. Cut the knife is better not worth it. It is better to process with a plane, because It is much easier to control than a knife that can cut through too deep and spoil the entire neck. Next process it with a grinding tape, i.e. Emery paper gradually increasing the graininess. So you need to handle not all the neck. We leave 100 mm at the beginning of the grid, where it will be attached to the deck.
Returning back to the body. Now you need to store where the neck will be mounted. After that, in the upper and medium plywood, I made a cutout under the ridge using a drill and hacksaw. I attached a vulture as it would be already in the finished guitar and began to consider Menzur. Menzura is the distance from Bridge (lower pitfall) to the uppermost impression. We place where it will also be.
Next, place where the sensor will be. Now drill-milling work. Those. Making the grooves for the pickup and bridge. I got through me, due to insufficient plywood thickness. Next, I brought all 3 plywood the most reliable of the famous fasteners - black screws. If the solemn is black - metal will be better played. About the resonance and anything, I did not think at all. The smallest will keep the vulture, reliably, right? In it, I immediately drilled 4 holes and outlined these holes on the jiff.

Next, a bridge is installed on the deck. It would be nice that it was, but if not, rolling and plexiglas or any material softer strings. Since the hole under it is through it, I had to fasten the iron plate on the back so that the bridge does not fly out. Next, insert the pickup. On the back of the deck, a plate of aluminum cans is also screwed for it. Two extreme screws to the body attached a white plate, it also closes too much hole. Two other screws are attached by the pickup itself to this plate. You can even adjust the height of the sensor. According to him, we make small cutouts under the strings at the bridge. Each string must be over its magnet. For two potentiometers, I did not have enough drill. Only under the spins themselves. They are inserted into the deck, and we will turn them with coins. So even better. Potentiometers I secured with a thermoclaus known as hot snot.

Strings will be attached to an adult - through the case. Deck drilled six holes under the strings.
Now back to the vulture. It is necessary to place where the frets will be located. You can do this in different ways, for example, find the desired template on the Internet that I advise. Duties for the lands themselves are done with the help of a manual jig. If you do not fit the propyl need to expand if you do not hold, then you have to incur do that I did. The upper threshold, it is also desirable that it be, but I made from cold welding. But this is not the best option. Next, drill holes for the flasks and install them. Screws, which were complete with these slices, I did not like, too small. I brought more. These rings, by the way, for the classic guitar, I bought them, as they were the cheapest (about 90 rubles).

Guitar can now paint. Since this plywood and ordinary board, I painted simple acrylic paint. You can paint the verse, also not a bad result. Next, ideally covered with varnish.
Now you can collect the guitar. Touch the vulture by four self-taverns through a unique platform. It is from several aluminum cans and rubber gasket. It remains only to install strings. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about an exclusive belt, from the belt. More precisely of two denim belts. Must with two self-drawing. They can even adjust the height.

This immediate hatred and pain tool even works. Although made for beauty. You can play something on any garbage, and the devilish expensive guitars are not for us.
The advantage of this guitar is that it is self-made. You better understand how this musical instrument works. This is a good experience. The first electric guitar, most likely it will not be very cool, but you remember all your shoals and the next time you will not fill those same bumps.

P.S. The guitar is very suitable in order to play grunge or punk rock, or even Havie Metal.
P.S.S. On the New Year you can save on the Christmas tree, you will always please this guitar.

Plastic: Golden, Pearl and Bronze Fimothe, a bit of black and remnants of any color, to fill the drum guitar.
Stationery knife (I use two different sizes).
Any fixture with a ball at the end (I was blinded on the toothpick and baked).
Pattern for the guitar drum (cut from cardboard)
Medical gloves.
Wire.
Rounds, taps and nippers.
Tweezers.

None in the photo, but you absolutely need two rollers: glass bottles, big and small.

From the golden and pearl phimo imitate the tree, for this we will do it as if going to make a smooth transition of color manually:
Moving triangles with a square, as shown in the figure.

We apply a few stripes, so in each of them there was a different ratio of pearl and gold.
Now you need to mix each strip to a homogeneous color and roll into the ball. The easiest way to wash the way as shown in Figure 3 and 4. Roll the long sausage, twice it twice.

and flatten.
After that, the resulting cake is again rolling into the sausage. The procedure is repeated to obtain a homogeneous shade.

They received several such balls, different shades. Looking forward, I will say that the brightest it turned out a lot, a large number of light stripes are not good for naturalness.

From each ball, we roll out such thin sausages, be sure to hand, squeezing out of the syringe is not suitable here. Pearl flakes must be twisted in different ways to achieve effect.
The ruler and template posted on the photo for the same accumathers as I so, I define the scented size of the sliced \u200b\u200bsausage. See, they have a length of two lengths of the template, when we roll out, it turns out just three lengths. (I do not like a lot of trimming)) In general, you can not get involved with this, but simply cut on equal segments.

With the smaller thickness of the sausage, too, do not suffer. After all, streaks in the tree are also uneven.
We fold the resulting sausages with one web, pressing slightly to each other, in any order.

They got such a canvas of alternating shades.

We take the rolling pin that more and slowly roll it all splendor. Do not hurry to not roll the nonsense to a completely fine transparent layer.

Voila! We have an absolutely wooden surface. Residents are obtained very natural, since the scales in Metallic plastic "stand up" along the edges of each sausage and give a dark color, and in the middle of each residence play with a tint, because we rolled out with their hands and scales wrapped arbitrarily.

We proceed directly to the guitar.
Cut on a template with a small blade two decks and a shelight for the guitar case.
On the same template, cut out from plastic filler base, 3-4mm thick, which is then placed.

I cut off the leaf. 12cm long, the width is equal to the thickness of the filler plus the thickness of the Dec cut.
Starting from this point, we spend all operations in gloves in order not to leave and give the smoothness to our tree.

First, take the decks, carefully from the middle, in order to release all the air. Then we cover the side of the sides.

Slightly surprise the joints, it is not necessary to achieve a complete merger, there are always such Cint on real guitars.

Now rolling a small ball from bronze plastics. And very carefully flatter it with a small rolling pin (my naphtizin bottle is performed by this function). The complexity here is that we need a subtle layer perfectly round form. In the finished (flattened) form with a diameter of 8mm.

Device with a ball at the end We will deepen in the upper deck and literally smearing the bronze circle there. From the middle smoothing, so that there are no bubbles left.

A small piece of bronze plastics will form and get on the housing, it turned out a support for the grid.
Well, the troubles with the guitar body are finished. Dimensions: 3.5 cm by 2.5 cm.

From the bronze plastics, cut the bar with a length of 4.5 cm. Spindle one end, form the head of the grid.

Shot a small necklace from black plastics, put on the vulture. And enter the sleeper or needle through holes diagonally. I thought that for such a smellers and three strings would be enough.

Now we need slices. Very small balls are comfortable to roll on the table by the index finger.

Using the needle put them on the back of the griff,

At the body, we adjust the neck, fit well, just follow, so that our work would not be deformed. We adjust the second threshold, a little longer than the first. And we do a small hole for the pins with a loop, which will hang a guitar, a little diagonally to the center of the drum.

so that they would visually cover holes, but did not bother them.

We are only left to apply three drawings on the thresholds, the strings will lie in them. And pierce on the housing opposite each drawing three holes, 1-2mm depth. They will incur strings.
Guitar is ready for baking. Heat the oven to 110-130g, put the guitar on the folded four-fold sheet of bakery paper and in the oven! For thirty min.
You can, of course, put on cotton on your cotton, that I would not be crumbling, but it seemed to me easier, straighten with my fingers when the finished guitar would get out of the oven while she was still warm.

How to make a guitar at home with your own hands using simple tools? Let's try to give simple answers and decompose all aspects of the right start on the shelves. Proper task, as is known - this is the key to the right decision.

As a small preface

I do not want the impression that the manufacture of a guitar is some kind of simple activity. Everything is very serious. Tune in to long painstaking work. Often all matters are prematurely ends for the reason that they were started incorrectly.

I want to make a guitar, I embroidered a jigsaw! Where is my penny knife, now I will do - the land is zadorovit! Oh, that you sleep so much! Take better your pause! I'll go buy myself "China", we will be better than your Castoma!

Quickly the fairy tale affects for a long time it is done.

Inconsistency and rushka - These are killer whales that are defeated on the way to their guitar. With all the seeming simplicity, it is impossible to make a guitar in a couple of weeks a paper knife and passage. Or to buy the whole tool, but do not figure out how to work and what to do.

How to make a guitar at home with your own hands

From the song of the words will not throw out, so the title of the paragraph is just such. I suggest breaking it to "be or not to be" into a few already applied directions, namely:

• What you need to know "Hands" to make a guitar or minimum skills
• What should be "house" and simple tools to become, at least mini workshop.
• Find "How to do" ( drawing, sequence of work) To make a guitar, and not a casket in the form of a guitar.

It is difficult to consider each item strictly separately, you will have to constantly request all sorts of "and if" in neighboring points.

Simple tool and skill with it

In order to start some kind of guitar manufacturing work, you must possess or be prepared to purchase elementary knowledge of working with a sharp tool, with a joinery tool like a planer and a chisel. Purchase this tool and establish it. In fact, everything is simple and stacked in the volume of knowledge of the visitor's mug of the pioneers. If you have carpenter experience, it is great, you won't have a lot to learn.

Classical Spanish guitar manufacturing technology is as simple as possible. Everything can be done at the usual table. Then there was no electricity, and the entire tool was manual, so you can make a guitar well in simple conditions.

If you do not know how to cut even a jigsaw, i.e. You do not know how to work with your hands, then you need to purchase at least elementary experience. Otherwise you can simply swaw yourself or spoil the material.

We formulate the rule of the right start for professional lovers.

Before making your first guitar, a simple joiner and special tool is required. All this can be cheap to buy. Something to do it yourself. Purchase minimum work experience using a non-mineral material, following simple recommendations.

Room where you can make a guitar

Consider such a case. The guitar master falls into your room and evaluates it from the point of view of guitar perspectives. Do you think that items will not read? There we will have a tape, here the coordinate machine, there is a panel ...

But, wait, let's correctly ask the guitar master Question as part of our task to make yourself a guitar. We do not need a guitar workshop for the production of N-th number of guitars per month. We need to ask a guitar wizard, what conditions should the room be complied with a manual tool slowly and gently make a guitar? The answer will be simple - you should be placed in the room with a guitar, and moisture mode must be observed.

In fact, only one rule - moisture mode.

In your workshop should be dry, in different wishes about 40-50% of relative humidity at the time of assembling the case.

Create your workshop yourself - this is a fascinating process.

When choosing a tool and method of manufacture, follow the experience of several masters and reflect their experience through the prism of your considerations. This is the development of guitar skills, and not just blind copying.

But before starting to fully analyze which tool you need, you need to purchase a minimum luggage and do something.

My teacher to the question of which should be a set of carpentry tools, answered that the tool must be purchased as needed and forming preferences in the work.

Of course, you can buy a turnkey workshop, which is expensive and the most offensive that much may not be useful, even if it is a cast with a real guitar workshop. The tools from the masters differ. There will be a sequence of actions.

Directly how to do

Proceed from your knowledge level. Start from simple to complex.

• First repair,
• then the elements of manufacture and finally
• fully guitar from the array.

How I was surprised when I saw such a rework for the first time! I show a guitar, I begin to consider the beautifully polished dark cherry beauty. And only after a few minutes they finish me - that's what you can do from the usual Soviet factory. After you make your first or tenth rosewood guitar, you can not be surprised by alteration, but do not deny yourself the pleasure at one time.

Make the guitar of the USSR truly is a great job for understanding all the guitar setting processes with minimal initial investments. To begin with, just perfect.

The site already has a roadmap how to redo the Soviet guitar ,.

The second step is to add some difficulty in the work.

The factory with a large body can be replaced with a plywood deck on a spruce or cedar array. There are old Cremona Factory Guitar from Czechoslovakia or German Muzima. They have all the plywood deck and the bottom, a decent neck, and some cream can even have a shell from the beech massif. You can replace the deck and the bottom to the woodwork. These are already elements of manufacture, and as a result, a wooden guitar.

How to make the first guitar well

After purchasing minimal skills and bringing moisture in the room to the required regime, it will be necessary to purchase dry, specially prepared material.

The best material for making guitars to buy in specialized stores. There are Internet resources that send excellent material for guitars, as well as tools worldwide. Information is on our forum.

Also, for the first time, you can try to find a dry material on the nearest point of sale of the array of dense wood. And your first guitar will be no longer such a dream for seven seas. Make these first steps for each of us.
