    Tools needed for making a guitar

    Plunge Router and Router Bits
    (I utilize a Skill switch with a 1/4″ digit, a 1/2″ bit with a metal ball guide, and a 1/2″ round-over piece)
    Endlessly boring apparatus
    (A fundamental electric drill and spot set with a discretionary 6″ sanding plate for cutting down the body, and a 1/2″ Forstner Bit for counter sinking the neck ferrules.)
    Dance Saw
    (Any great dance saw and fine tooth sharp edge for cutting the plastic control covers)
    Belt Sander (discretionary)
    (For cutting down the top back body shape)
    Mouse or Orbital sander (discretionary)
    Dremmel instrument (discretionary)
    (Use with a sanding connection for hard to arrive at regions that should be etched)
    Drill press (discretionary)
    (I wish I had one, it makes boring completely straight openings a lot simpler)
    Braces
    (Great to have on the off chance that you really want to overlay your own body clear. A little one is great to have for holding the neck inplace when you connect it)
    Welding Iron and Solder
    Motion and Wire
    (Both for the hardware)

    Essential Parts and Electronics

    Premade Neck
    (Attempting to fabricate your own neck is troublesome and requires more devices that you may purchase.)
    Body Blank
    (Make your own out of Birch Plywood or purchase a clear from a retailer)
    Span
    (I will quite often go with a hardtail type span since it very well may be effectively rushed on. Not much to it.)
    String Ferrules
    (These are utilized to hold the string in the guitar and are set in little openings bored toward the back. You won’t require these on the off chance that you choose to go with a Gibson-style extension and tailpiece.)
    Tuners
    (It’s really smart to get excellent tuners since the less expensive ones don’t remain in order too)
    Screws
    (You will require pick watch screws for the control hole cover and other different size screws for pickup rings and support pole cover. Your scaffold ought to accompany screws yet check and put forth certain in defense you really want to arrange any)
    Ferrules
    (For the neck and strings. You can utilize a neck plate rather than ferrules however I like the spotless look and tight fit that you get with the ferrules.)
    Pickups
    (This relies upon the sort of sound you need and the amount you will spend. Search for good arrangements.)
    Pickup Rings
    (Generally accompany screws when you get them however in the event that you choose to go with all gold equipment you should purchase gold screws independently.)
    Plastic
    (You can get a sheet of dark plastic from Stewart MacDonald and use it to cut the cover for the control hole.)
    Control Knobs
    (These can be purchased from numerous web-based retailers. Get the style that best accommodates your guitar plan. Look for the best arrangement)
    Photometers
    (Utilizes for volume and tone control you regularly need somewhere in the range of two and four relying upon the sort of sound you need. They come in various sizes and values so the best thing to do is look into a wiring schematic online for the setup you need to see what kind to utilize. Seymour Duncan has incredible schematics.)
    Capacitors
    (They additionally come in various qualities so figure out what you really want from your schematic)
    Input Jack
    (I like to utilize a long shaft input jack. All you need to do to introduce it is drill an opening. Quite simple)
    Control Switch
    (These come in various styles too. Bumper Strats utilize 5-way switches while Les Pauls utilize 3-way ones.)
