Joe Etgen is building a guitar for the first time, working down in his basement. Working alone on StewMac's Triple-O kit, he's got the body and the neck in good shape. We asked Joe to take the guitar to Dan Erlewine's shop for a look-over. Dan shares some tips you'll want to know when you build a guitar sometime.
- How to use another guitar to check your work.
- Neck-shaping gauges you can make.
- Razor blade trick for removing sanding scratches.
- Getting from “almost right” to the neck shape you really want.
