In that time, names like the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar have acquired an aura–and a price–that are truly remarkable. For some, however, it is not enough to buy a guitar–the challenge of designing and hand-making a unique, customized instrument is the dream. Since 1986, these people have turned to one book: Make Your Own Electric Guitar. Written in a clear, relaxed style, it covers every facet of guitar design and construction, as well as electronic theory and practice, and full woodworking and wiring techniques–all supported with plenty of photos and diagrams. Now in a revised and expanded edition, Make Your Own Electric Guitar will enable any musician or enthusiast with basic woodworking skills to create a uniquely valuable instrument. The book’s forward is ritten by Queen’s Brian May. Learn more here.
