Welcome.
This modest site deals with handcrafted guitars. Here I share my experience for this hobby, and explain how I proceed to make my instruments. For the moment, the matter rather is electric guitars. I built the site as I progress in this art, explaining all problems I had. Also, all guitarmaker lover oder all people who want to become one can find perhaps information here.
My goal is to built this site as a ressources site for amateur handrafted guitars, notably by putting at disposal tutorials and plans of guitars.
Good visit.

Project :Lefty Mexican Stratocaster Restauration & Upgrade The 10.05.2008 at 19:24

This is the restauration of my first electric guitar. It's a Fender Stratocaster Mexican Standard,  left handed, dating from 1999. Its daily use and its former owner have very used it .. After the "dead" of a pickup, a little restauration / upgrade was essential :

Electronic cavities will be shielded, pickups changed, neck refretted, little scratch on the body removed, electronic remade style "vintage", etc.

For information, all new hardware was bought in this eBay shop : Scorpion Music Parts They have interesting prices and good shipping costs.
