I’ve had a number of guitars throughout the years and each had it’s good and bad points. On one, the neck wasn’t right but the sound was fantastic. Another was too heavy. I wondered what it would be like to have a guitar made to my own specifications. And, could I make that guitar myself?
There were a number of books about making a guitar listed on Amazon. Rather than rely on the publisher’s description, I went straight to the Customer Reviews. One book, Build Your Own Electric Guitar: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Plans, had more positive reviews than the other books I looked at. All but two reviews, gave it five stars! Read what people who bought and used this book had to say…
“Very well written book.”
“It comes with full-sized plans for a Stratocaster-type guitar.”
“If you’re getting any books on guitar construction, grab this.”
“Love this book, probably my best purchase of the year.”
“This book had info I hadn’t been able to find elsewhere.”
“The best book to buy if you want to make a custom guitar.”
“If you want to build your own guitar, this book is for you.”
The best reviews come from the people who’ve bought and used a product… not a salesman. Click here to read more reviews and learn more about Build Your Own Electric Guitar: Complete Instructions and Full-Size Plans.

I’m continually amazed at the amout of wonderful information there is on the internet about the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Here are some great reviews of the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus and the Les Paul Standard. Another thing I’ve found interesting is the number of people who want to know how to build an electric guitar. There’s a great link - ‘Building Les Paul’ - to guitar parts in one of the forum posts here..

Digital Guitar From Gibson Garnering Attention - The best part of the Gibson Digital Guitar system is its delivery of signal processing on a string-by-string basis, providing unprecedented control with the ability to adjust volume, pan, equalization and the routing of each string individually. This means you can use a guitar amplifier for each string or record all six strings individually into a computer or send the six-string digital signal to a compatible guitar processor giving guitarists the ultimate flexibility for crafting their custom sound. Through Gibson’s advanced technology, each string’s signal is isolated, converted from analog to digital and routed individually, giving the player a myriad of live performance and recording options.

I’m currently building a guitar kit. The kit is a saga lc-10 which is a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar type instrument. So far the guitar is turning out really good. The next part will be on adding the black lacquers to the neck and the back of the guitar.
