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.

Recommended Tools & Supplies:

—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 —C-Clamp

—5mm Allen Wrench (Supplied) —Tack Cloth

—Coping, Jig, or Scroll Saw (Optional)

The guitar body has been assembled and rough sanded at the factory; however, no finish has been applied.

To sand the guitar body:

1.Wear an ANSI-approved respirator and safety glasses when sanding wood!

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.

3.Sand the guitar body with a #240 grit sand- ing paper until there is a consistent scratch pattern on the entire surface.

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.
