Bridge. ■M wmiimmk m 'mmlm m ■ Introduction I have probably had more fun making this project than I've had for a very long time! The guitar looks and feels quite realistic, it's just a miniature one! And the rack is truly functional, holding 13 CDs that would otherwise be cluttering shelves and desks. The whole project is quick and easy to cut out and assemble. You can spend as much time as you want playing with your guitar to make it look just right. Make it look just like the one shown here by following the instructions, or customize it however you want in the colors you enjoy most. INSTRUCTIONS Making the guitar Start with the fun part. A full size pattern for the guitar is provided in the pull-out section. To aid with assembly, all parts are shown in place on the aurruca Toojs: table sdw (or simildt}", ^crolj £aw wifh blades; drill with bits , Sandpaper, -assorted .gwfs i ' Three 3M"-£>}a.. dowels, agpYo*. 3/^iong {for the knobs} - | \ M\6' Dja wire/appro*. §§/4" fahg jfor 1he tremolo handle] 3/ U -Pia, dpwej, appro* S/S' long {for the knob for handle} Twenty Brdss escutcheon pins 3/8" x"t& Appro* m ffchjhg me^i^^m §§ s* I guitar. The neck, scratchplate, pickups, knobs and bridge are all overlays. To ensure that they will fit together just right, begin by making three photocopies of the guitar pattern. Adhere a full guitar pattern to a piece of 1/2" material and saw all the way around the profile (which includes the body, neck and headstock) creating a one-piece guitar. Next, from another copy of the guitar pattern, trim away some of the pattern with scissors, leaving the neck and scratchplate areas. Adhere this area of the pattern to a piece of 1/16" material. Saw around the perimeter first; then cut along the line at the base of the neck to separate the neck from the scratchplate, which allows each piece to be finished separately. Note: DO NOT REMOVE PATTERNS FROM THE WOOD UNTIL LATER. Use the third pattern to make the pickups from 1/16" material. Also use the pattern for the bridge. Make it from 1/4" material by sawing around its outline, then turn it on its side and saw notches approx. 1/8" deep to hold the guitar's strings. Before removing patterns from wood, use an awl to mark locations for escutcheon pins on the headstock and mounting screws. Next, use the awl to mark locations of position markers on the neck, and use an X-acto knife, or similar, along a ruler's edge to scribe the lines that represent frets. Lastly, use the awl to mark locations on the scratchplate for escutcheon pins, pickups and knobs. The patterns can then be removed. Begin working with the one piece guitar section. Slightly round over the edges of the body (not the neck or headstock) by sanding or filing. Drill l/8"-Dia. holes for mounting screws. Countersink for screw heads. Finish can now be applied as desired. I applied one thin coat of Golden Oak liquid stain by Delta on the headstock and neck sections, front, sides and entire back of the complete guitar. For the front of the body, I added just a little bit of orange and |
