Students will select one from several designs (Stratocaster/Telecaster guitars; Precision/Stingray bass). In Dec. each student, with Hayami’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. 3 hours shop time each week besides class will be needed to complete the instrument. REGISTRATION ON A FIRST PAID BASIS.
