Build Your Own Electric Guitar

I am in the process of building my first guitar and found this book helpful even though the book was centered around building a kit guitar. there was some useful information.

Very good book.

As described

Was hoping for a more detailed and concise section on wiring electric guitars.

book was ok- would have liked it to be more descriptive.

I bought this book for some insight into the workings and details of Brian May's famous Red Special guitar which this book features as a case study that includes a comparison with the high end, limited edition, hand built replica built by English Luthier, Andrew Guyton. The rest of the book is interesting enough for people embarking on building any of the other types of electric guitar covered in the book, but Brian May enthusiasts or potential Red Special builders should also appreciate the material. However, there is nothing that isn't already out there in the public domain on the various internet forums dedicated to the Red Special and other Brian May equipment.

Good book for beginner kit builders. If your just starting out with guitar kit building it covers most of the important setting up guides with quality photographs that will guide you step by step through the process, there are some helpful hints and tips too along with some case studies.

As with Haynes motor manuals this book is written clearly making it very easy to follow with its help I have built two guitars and in case you are thinking I must be some whizz kid craftsman I assure I am not I drive a truck for a living

Thoroughly enjoyed, great descriptions, this will help with kit building and setups not a from scratch build.

Very good
