Assembling Plus...

Not only is this a great DVD teaching you the proper procedure of assembling a solidbody guitar, but Dan teaches you many tips and tricks to make the job easier. Also you see many of the tools from the Stew Mac catalog and their uses. This is a must have DVD!

I'm about to put together my first guitar from purchased parts. This DVD answers so many questions I had and questions I didn't know I should have. Everybody who is interested in Strats and Teles should watch this even if they have no intention of building a guitar. Dan is a treasure trove of history and hints.

DVD review of Assembling a solid body guitar

I'm a total novice at building an electric guitar. I hoped this DVD would give me some good pointers. Dan's instruction, enthusiasm and advice were fantastic but the DVD quality was poor. It looks like an old copy of a copy. That's why I've only given 3 stars.
