    Okay decent read
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022*

Very basic and over simplfied book on the process but some neat projects and ideas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent book for learning how to build an electric guitar kit
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017*

Overall, this is a great book. It is packed with tons of excellent information on how to take a kit guitar from raw wood, sand it, paint it, assemble it, wire it, and set it up.  I bought 2 electric guitar kits; an Offset Flying V for myself, and a Mockingbird styled version for my daughter to give us a project each that we could do together. This has given her another medium to express her creativity. First in painting the guitar, next when she gets to play it.  I like how the author laid out this book. Each of the sections build upon the knowledge gained in the prior one giving you more in-depth knowledge as the projects get more complicated. The first chapter is probably teaches you everything you need to know to complete your first bolt neck kit. Or it comes very close anyway. The second chapter covers a more complicated build and how to relic the guitar. <start rant>I personally never have understood why anyone would want to buy something that doesn't look new since none of the marks mean anything unlike an actual antique with marks that arrived through decades of use. <end rant>Chapter three hours over the differences to complete a set neck guitar and chapter for goes into taking two kitsand combining them into one two neck guitar. In his build he combined a 6 string Axis styled electric guitar with a 4 string electric bass. In this chapter he even covers the required woodworking to mate the kits together so that they are aesthetically pleasing to look at while also maintaining playability.  A side note about the book format:I bought the kindle version which is a little difficult to flip back and forth in since I didn't use the bookmark feature the first time through the book. If, like me, you are building your first kit guitar, I highly recommend bookmarks since you will be referring back to the various sections add your build progresses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Complete guide is a little overstated, but overall good book.
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2012*

I don't know if the description specifies, but this is about building kit guitars.  Although most of the same details apply to any guitar build, there are certain things when you are mixing suppliers and making stuff yourself that you won't get out of this book, although by taking bits and pieces from each separate build, you will get the brunt of it (just be ready to flip some pages).  Exceptional photos and step-by-step instructions throughout, well-written and stays on point.  Area most lacking is in fretting, as it uses pre-constructed necks for the builds, but also doesn't talk about leveling or polishing or any of that - maybe better for the beginner this book is aiming at.  The relic techniques are interesting and probably pretty useful if you are into that.  Gives you finishing techniques that don't require a spray booth (or gun), and basically just keeps it pretty simple.  Some of the best written and illustrated setup (bridge and nut height) techniques that I can recall seeing in print.  A great place for a beginner to guitar building to start, and will give a tinkerer some ideas to modify and improve their guitar.
