Students will select one from several designs (Stratocaster/Telecaster guitars; Precision/Stingray bass). In Dec. each student, with John’s help, will select wood and components – including the neck, to be ordered. Starting with raw lumber, students will prepare a solid or semi-hollow body blank using a system of router templates, transforming the blank into a completed body ready for finishing. Class fee of $50 will cover shop materials and a copy of Make Your Own Electric Guitar by M. Hiscock. Students will individually purchase all other materials and components. Costs will vary; typical minimum cost ~ $350 for a basic Telecaster or Precision Bass. No prior skills are needed for this class. The class will continue until Feb. 23. Shop time outside of class will be needed to complete instrument.
