You are about to build a truly great guitar! We designed this acoustic kit with the small shop builder and a modest tool budget in mind, with the exception of a few specialty guitar making tools.
Please read these instructions before building your guitar.
Throughout the assembly of the kit you’ll need a flat workboard of 3/4" plywood approximately 24" long and 20" wide, big enough for your guitar’s body assembly.
Note: Some photos in these instructions use a Dreadnought guitar as a model, though the technique is the same for either Dreadnought or Triple-O guitar. Options include dovetail or bolt-on neck and back and side woods of either mahogany or rosewood.
