MARTIN KOCH Building Electric Guitars How to make solid-body, hollow-body and semi-acoustic electric guitars and bass guitars
This book is aimed at people who enjoy working with wood in their spare time, who are interested in building instruments and either play the guitar themselves or would like to surprise a son, a daughter or a grandchild or someone else. For all of these groups of people the question of finding a suitable workplace will in most cases not arise and will already have been solved. I mention this because I consider the availability of a workshop where you can do whatever you like as one of the prerequisites for the successful completion of a project such as this. In this respect, someone living in the countryside will, of course, be one up on someone who lives in an urban area and who may already count themselves lucky to be allowed to use a basement room. As for tools, huge investments should not be required. If the wood needed has been adequately prepared in a joiner's workshop, no other tools apart from what I would call “hobby tools” will be needed. If, however, your guitar is to seriously compete with professional instruments, good tools will be indispensable. Reading alone won't be enough. Trying to describe the individual steps of work involved in detail, I have followed the motto “A picture is worth a 1000 words” by including pictures, illustrations and drawings to better illustrate the verbal descriptions. You will, however, always need to bear in mind that there is of course a huge difference between reading something and actively doing it. Just as you are not going to satisfy your hunger by merely listening to a description of food, you will have to gather your own experiences in the world of guitarbuilding. The ability to put an idea which exists in someone's head into practice is what makes a great craftsman - this also applies when it comes to building guitars. On the long road between the initial idea and the actual result, a lot of compromises will have to be made at the beginning, due to not-yet-learnt skills, lack of both experience and patience or peculiarities of materials used. Although you will find that there are many pictures in this book, please do none the less read the instructions carefully: not each and every individual step of work has been captured in picture! Only those who do nothing will not make any mistakes. While building a guitar there will be moments of great joy as well as of huge frustration. If the latter is the case, sleep on it: something one presumes to have gone terribly wrong quite often doesn't look all that bad after a good night's sleep or after a couple of days. What you will certainly find then is enough energy to start all over again, in case things should have gone so badly wrong that there is no other alternative. Never try to achieve anything by force. Remember that sometimes it may be better to pause and not do any work, or to stop working rather too soon than too late. Mistakes made should not be regarded as setbacks but rather as opportunities to gain experience and, above all, to
