Guitar

 

In my spare time I love to play guitar, acoustic and electric.

There were a certain set of specs that I wanted in a guitar that no one made, so being a hands on engineer I felt the need to design my own guitar and build it from scratch. I designed the whole thing in SolidWorks. I then designed all the custom jigs I would need to do the routing for the body, electronics cavities, neck pocket, etc.. I laser cut these jigs and proceeded to build all of the guitar by hand. This is the Custom guitar you see below.

I recently attended a guitar building class and built the one you see below named “Betty.” I loved it and learned so much I decided to take a banjo building class as well, shown below named “Lilith.”


Custom

Guitar I custom designed in CAD to fit my desired specs and hand built myself. I tried to use as many hand tools as possible. It is currently awaiting me to do the finishing and then I will assemble it and start to rock!

Tele

I started building a Tele right before the pandemic caused full lockdown

Here is as far as I got before the shop it was stored in was closed


Cigar Box

Here is a cigar box guitar and amp that I built a while back

It’s a pretty simple and fun to play setup
