Building Electric Guitars Book!

Here’s a book Building Electric Guitars on how to build your own electric guitar by master builder Martin Koch.   On his site, you can see pictures of gorgeous guitars he and other have built.

The book focuses on how to make solid-body, hollow-body and semi-acoustic electric guitars and bass guitars step-by-step. 

This is the book you want if you’re ready to strap on your shop apron and cut out the wood for your guitar body.  Plus there’s info on winding your own pickups and also active guitar electronics.

In the last chapter you can visit three guitar shops!  Want a taste of the book?  Read the great sample chapter of Building Electric Guitars here and build your own guitar!
