SECTION 1: SAFETY  
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or  
reading glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the meth-  
ods stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know  
your skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method  
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same  
result.  
These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of  
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to repro-  
duce this project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for  
your own safety. Read and understand the owner’s manual for the machinery you intend to use,  
take a woodworking class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery  
and tools are inherently dangerous, because they use sharp edges that can and will cause seri-  
ous personal injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools  
and machinery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear  
approved safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.

SECTION 4: SANDING  
Supplies/Tools  
Guitar Body  
The majority of the wooden components in this kit  
are fully machined from the factory and are ready  
for assembly. A small amount of drilling, sanding  
and light machining will need to be performed to  
complete the guitar.  
The guitar body has been assembled and rough  
sanded at the factory; however, no finish has  
been applied.  
To sand the guitar body:  
Recommended Tools & Supplies:  
1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and  
safety glasses when sanding wood!  
—Phillips Screwdriver  
—Needle-Nose Pliers  
—Electric Drill  
—Drill Bit Set  
—#180, #240, and #320 Aluminum-Oxide  
Sanding Paper  
—Sanding Block  
—Masking Tape  
—Painting/Finishing Supplies  
—Coat Hanger  
2. Using either an electric palm sander or a  
sanding block, sand the guitar body  
(EXCEPT the guitar neck notch, the edges,  
and the sound hole) with #180 grit aluminum-  
oxide sanding paper until there is a consis-  
tent scratch pattern on the entire surface.  
Note—When hand sanding, always sand in  
the same direction as the wood grain.  
—C-Clamp  
—5mm Allen Wrench (Supplied)  
—Tack Cloth  
3. Sand the guitar body with a #240 grit sand-  
ing paper until there is a consistent scratch  
pattern on the entire surface.  
—Coping, Jig, or Scroll Saw (Optional)  
4. Sand the guitar body with a #320 grit sand-  
ing paper until there is a consistent scratch  
pattern on the entire surface.  
5. Wipe the guitar body with a damp cloth.  
Wiping the workpiece with a damp cloth  
before the final sanding helps to “raise” the  
wood grain; thus, allowing the “raised” grain  
to be sanded smooth.  
6. Once the guitar body is dry, repeat step 4.  
7. Wipe the guitar body with a tack cloth to  
remove all remaining sanding dust.

Neck  
Fingerboard  
Like the guitar body, most of the guitar neck has  
been machined at the factory; however, the neck  
headstock can be customized to reflect personal  
taste. Additional cutting, inlay, or design work can  
give an otherwise ordinary guitar that custom look  
that sets it apart from others! Note—Take your  
time with this sub-section and consider testing  
ideas in scrap wood before performing the work  
on the actual headstock.  
The fingerboard requires no sanding. Note—  
Sanding the fingerboard will affect the playability  
of the guitar and could lead to unrepairable dam-  
age.  
To sand the guitar neck:  
Bridge  
1. Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and  
safety glasses when sanding wood!  
The bridge is rough sanded at the factory. Final  
sand the bridge as described in the Guitar Body  
sub-section.  
2. Perform any custom cutting, inlay, or design  
work to the neck headstock.  
3. Using the sanding technique described in the  
previous sub-section, sand the entire guitar  
neck, EXCEPT for the fingerboard mounting  
surface. Note—Sanding the fingerboard  
mounting surface will affect the playability of  
the guitar and could lead to unrepairable  
damage.

SECTION 5: ASSEMBLY  
4. Using sandpaper or a file, flatten the neck  
Neck to Body  
until it is flush with the surface of the body.  
5. Before the neck can be glued to the body,  
two critical points must be verified:  
Attaching the neck to the guitar body is the most  
crucial part of assembling the guitar. Failure to  
attach the neck correctly could result in difficult  
bridge and string adjustments, or even worse, it  
could lead to unrepairable damage.  
a. The truss rod grooves in the neck and  
body must align perfectly.  
b. The neck surface and the body surface  
must be perfectly flat. Note—Use a  
straightedge to verify this critical point.  
Once the neck is glued to the body, little  
can be done to correct mistakes.  
To attach the neck to the body:  
1. Insert the four wooden dowels into the holes  
on the side of the body. Note—DO NOT use  
glue at this time!  
6. Disassemble the neck and body, and re-  
assemble with wood glue. Note—DO NOT  
wipe glue squeeze-out at this time! Once the  
squeeze-out has dried, scrape it off with a  
sharp chisel.  
2. Slide the neck dowel holes onto the wooden  
dowels.  
3. Using a straightedge, note the portion of the  
neck protruding above the surface of the  
body (Figure 4).  
7. Once the desired neck position is achieved,  
use large rubber bands to hold the assembly  
during drying (Figure 5).

Truss Rod  
Position Dots  
The position dot holes have been predrilled into  
the face of the fingerboard.  
Once the neck/body assembly is completely dry,  
the truss rod can be installed.  
To install the position dots:  
To install the truss rod:  
1. Place a small drop of glue in each position

dot hole.  
2. Using a hammer and a scrap piece of wood,  
tape the position dots into each of the holes.  
Note—Sand the position dots flush with the  
fingerboard surface.  
— If the face of the truss rod is higher than  
the face of the neck and body, then the  
truss rod channel needs to be deepened  
before continuing to the next step.  
— If the face of the truss rod is flush with the  
face of the neck and body, then continue  
on to the next step.  
2. Using an epoxy glue, secure the truss rod  
into the truss rod channel so the truss rod  
cap screw head can be seen through the  
sound hole (Figure 6). Note—Make sure the  
masking tape side of the truss rod faces  
down and that the surface of the truss rod is  
flush with the surface of the neck and body.

Position Marks  
Fingerboard to Neck  
The position mark holes have been predrilled into  
the side of the fingerboard.  
To attach the fingerboard to the neck:  
1. Using a straightedge, make sure the neck

2. Using a pencil, lightly mark the guitar body  
Bridge Location  
where the front edge of the bridge is located.  
3. When placed against the end of the finger-  
board, the inside edge of the nut should be  
exactly 325mm from the center of the 12th  
fret (Figure 8).  
The correct distances between the inside edge of  
the nut, the center of the 12th fret and the center  
of the saddle slot are crucial to the performance  
of this guitar. Figure 8 shows the correct dis-  
tances.  
4. Attach pieces of sewing thread to the 1st and  
the 6th nut slots and tape the opposite ends  
over the corresponding holes on the bridge.  
To determine the correct bridge location:  
5. Adjust the bridge so there is an equal  
amount of space between the fingerboard  
edges and the threads (Figure 9).  
1. Position the front edge of the bridge exactly  
317.6mm away from the center of the 12th  
fret (Figure 8).

Covered Areas  
In preparation for the finish coating, the fol-  
lowing parts of the guitar (Figures 10 & 11)  
need to be covered:  
Bridge Location  
Fingerboard  
Sound Hole (Hole Filled With Newspaper)  
Figure 11. Masked fingerboard.  
Use a small stick of wood to carefully press all the  
masking tape edges securely to the guitar pieces.  
The finish coat can seep under these edges,  
especially near corners, uneven edges, and  
where the frets meet the fingerboard. Note—  
Failure to correctly mask off these areas could  
result in unrepairable damage to the guitar.

Painting/Finishing  
Sound Hole Decal  
Finishing supplies are not supplied with the guitar  
kit. Note—The guitar body is made from spruce  
wood and the neck from poplar wood. Clear fin-  
ishes such as lacquer look exceptionally stunning  
and glossy on these surfaces.  
To attach the sound hole decal:  
1. Submerge the decal sheet in water until the  
clear decal slides around on the paper back-  
ing easily with finger pressure. This usually  
only takes a few minutes.  
Painting/Finishing Tips:  
2. Remove the decal sheet from the water, let-

ting the excess water run off.  
3. Lay the decal sheet over the sound hole.  
Wear an ANSI-approved respirator mask  
and safety glasses when using finishing  
materials!  
4. Lightly press down on the decal with damp-  
ened fingers and slowly slide the decal sheet  
from underneath the decal with the other  
hand.  
Fabricate hooks from shirt hangers to sus-  
pend the guitar components during the fin-  
ishing process.  
5. When the decal sheet is completely  
removed, lightly press on the decal with a dry  
cloth to remove the excess water trapped  
underneath.  
Several thinner coats usually produce a nicer  
finish than one heavy coat. Note—Always  
follow the finish manufacturer’s instructions.  
Dust particles suspended in the air will settle  
on wet finishes, resulting in less than satis-  
factory results. To avoid this problem:  
1. Leave the finishing room undisturbed for  
24 hours prior to applying the finish.  
2. Have the guitar components positioned  
for the finish application upon entering the  
finish room.  
3. Avoid making unnecessary movements  
upon entering the finish room.  
4. Apply the finish and immediately leave  
the finish room.  
5. DO NOT return to the finish room until the  
specified drying time has elapsed.  
Always follow the finish manufacturer’s  
instructions.

Neck Adjustment  
String Height  
The wooden neck can become bowed as it accli-  
mates to the moisture levels of the surrounding  
environment. It is not uncommon for the neck to  
require adjustments several times each year,  
especially in regions where the seasonal climate  
changes are more drastic.  
Correct string height is crucial for maximizing the  
playability of your new guitar. The string height is  
the distance between the top face of the fret and  
the bottom face of the string (Figure 15).  
String  
If your guitar neck becomes bowed, we recom-  
mend having it adjusted by a qualified guitar tech-  
nician.

End Pin  
Tuning  
The end pin is positioned on the guitar as shown  
in Figure 18.  
Tuning is the most important concept of playing a  
guitar. If the guitar is not in tune with itself, or the  
other instruments in an ensemble, the resulting  
music will not sound pleasing to the ear. Having a  
good understanding of tuning is essential to max-  
imizing the full potential of any guitar.  
Important issues to consider when tuning a  
guitar:  
Get into the habit of tuning the guitar every  
time it is picked up to be played.  
Always tune the strings “up.” The final tuned  
tension of each string should be reached  
while tightening the string, not loosening it. If  
the string is tensioned too far, loosen the ten-  
sion and tune ”up” again.  
Figure 18. Correct end pin placement.  
The goal when tuning is to make the strings  
in tune with one another. Standard tuning is  
shown in Figure 19.  
To attach the end pin to the guitar body:  
1. Using a 332" drill bit, drill a 34" deep hole at the  
mounting location.  
2. Using a phillips head screwdriver, secure the  
end pin to the guitar body with the included  
wood screw.

Figure 19. String tuning notes.  
The easiest way to tune a guitar is using an  
electronic tuner such as the Grizzly H3097  
Chromatic Tuner shown on page 20.  
However, knowing how to tune a guitar by  
ear is an important part of being an accom-  
plished guitar player.

To tune the guitar:  
4. Next, the 5th string needs to be tuned. The  
tone of the 5th string must be matched to the  
tone of the 6th string by playing the same  
note on each string, one after another. This  
is done by playing the 6th string while it is  
being pressed (fretted) at the 5th fret, and  
immediately after, playing the open 5th  
string.

fork, or an electronic computer file will work.  
2. Play an open (non-fretted) 6th string. The  
goal is to match the open 6th string to the  
known Low E pitch.  
3. Adjust the tuning peg until the pitch of the  
open 6th string sounds exactly like the  
known Low E source.  
5. Listen to the two tones. As the two notes are  
still resonating, adjust the tuning peg of the  
5th string until the two notes have matching  
tones. Remember to tune “up.”  
— If the string is tuned too high, back the  
tension off and retune the string back up  
to match the Low E pitch. Now the other  
strings can be tuned to the 6th string.  
6. Perform the same tuning steps on the 4th  
and 3rd strings.  
7. When tuning the 2nd string, the 3rd string  
should be fretted at the 4th fret instead of the  
5th fret.  
8. Tune the 1st string in the same manner as  
the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings.
