Making A Solidbody Electric Guitar

The principles are there, but the video filming, production-quality, and dated-techniques are horrible by todays standards.

I think $19.95 would be a fair asking-price for this video. Unless StewMac lowers the price, buy it used somewhere else!

I recommend StewMac to completly reshoot this video in order to have a better-quality of video and incorporate modern techniques. I would pay $49.95 for a video like that!

Good, but it needs a huge update on some of the techniques applied on the DVD.

overall a good product, excellent with the strat blueprint, that´s very handy.
Of coarse it´s obvious that the DVD is slightly out dated, Dan looks a bit younger, but all in all, a good buy.

This is an excellent video from an informational and helpful standpoint. Dan does a really great job of pointing out the finer points of solid body making in a easy to understand and professional manner. But this was made in 1985 so the quality of the video and noise of the audio is really bad. It'll get the job done though, highly recommended. I wish it could be re-done and re issued with modern equipment.

Good guide for the beginner.

Great info, just update the video please! Maybe some more info on finishes.

As with all of Dan's videos, this DVD is a good buy for anyone looking to build a guitar. It is a little dated though and has a VHS quality to it.

But all in all, it is a good DVD and deserves a 5 star rating.

I just watched this video, and though the quality is not great (you can tell it was taken from VHS), the content was! Dan went through building a Strat style guitar from beginning to end. A few of the finer details were either missed or only briefly covered, but there were a ton of useful tips and tricks mentioned. Also, I really liked how he showed several ways of doing something! All and all, a great purchase. I am completely satisfied and would recommend to anyone thinking about building a solid body! An updated HD version would be nice though, hint hint!
